Using classical molecular statics simulations, we show that nanoplate elasticity strongly depends on surface reconstruction and alignment of bond chains. Because of its well-established surface reconstructions and the readily available interatomic potential, diamond-cubic silicon is the prototype of this study. We foc…

The pressure dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) transition associated with the fundamental bandgap of ZnO nanowires has been studied at pressures up to 15 GPa. The near-bandedge luminescence emission is found to shift toward higher energy with applied pressure at a rate of 29.2 meV/GPa with a small second-order…

We report the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the Zn1−xMnxO compounds synthesized by a combustion method. The Zn1−xMnxO compounds with x=0–0.1 crystallize in the wurtzite ZnO structure. The lattice parameters a and c of Zn1−xMnxO increase linearly with the Mn content, indicating that Mn2+ ions substitute…

Optical phonon confinement and efficient UV emission of ZnO nanowires were investigated in use of resonant Raman scattering (RRS) and photoluminescence (PL). The high-quality ZnO nanowires with diameters of 80-100 nm and lengths of several micrometers were epitaxially grown through a simple low-pressure vapor-phase de…

Efficient upconversion luminescence is observed from CdTe nanoparticles in solution and precipitated as solids. In the solids, the upconversion luminescence spectrum is significantly red shifted relative to the photoluminescence spectrum, whereas in solution, there is very little spectral shift. The upconversion lumin…
