In this study, we demonstrate GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with antireflective subwavelength structures (SWS) for enhanced light extraction efficiency. To eliminate the internal Fresnel reflection, SWS were fabricated on an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) surface using an overall dry etch process of Ag nanoparticles. The a…
Superhydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate) surfaces with contact angles of ∼170° and high optical and X-ray transparencies have been fabricated through the use of optical lithography and plasma etching. The surfaces contain either a microscale pattern of micropillars or a random nanofibrillar pattern. Nanoscale asperi…
Abstract This study focuses on the influence of molecular weight on the rheological, thermal, and mechanical behavior of poly(ether‐ether‐ketone) (PEEK), a semicrystalline high‐performance polymer. The results show that the molecular weight of PEEK has significant influence on its rheological, thermal, and mechanical…
We develop a theory of cooperative emission of light by an ensemble of emitters, such as fluorescing molecules or semiconductor quantum dots, located near a metal nanostructure supporting surface plasmon. The primary mechanism of cooperative emission in such systems is resonant energy transfer between emitters and pla…
Electron transport in bilayer graphene placed under a perpendicular electric field is revealed experimentally. Steep increase of the resistance is observed under high electric field; however, the resistance does not diverge even at low temperatures. The observed temperature dependence of the conductance consists of tw…
We have attempted to hydrogenate adsorbed formate species on copper catalysts to probe the importance of this postulated mechanistic step in methanol synthesis. Surface formate coverages up to 0.25 were produced at temperatures between 413 and 453 K on supported (Cu/SiO 2 ) copper and unsupported copper catalysts. The…
Using high temperature annealing conditions with a graphite cap covering the C-face of an 8° off-axis 4H–SiC sample, large and homogeneous single epitaxial graphene layers have been grown. Raman spectroscopy shows evidence of the almost free-standing character of these monolayer graphene sheets, which was confirmed by…
The low-index surfaces of Au and Pt all tend to reconstruct, a fact that is of key importance in many nanostructure, catalytic, and electrochemical applications. Remarkably, some significant questions regarding their structural energies remain even today, in particular for the large-scale quasihexagonal reconstructed…
Organic solar cells have the potential to be low-cost and efficient solar energy converters, with a promising energy balance. They are made from carbon-based semiconductors, which exhibit favourable light absorption and charge generation properties, and can be manufactured by low temperature processes such as printing…
A method of low-angle mid-IR light scattering is shown to be applicable for the contactless and non-destructive inspection of the internal gettering process in CZ Si crystals. A classifcation of scattering inhomogeneities in initial crystals and crystals subjected to the getting process is presented.
Czochralski-grown boron-doped silicon crystals were studied by the techniques of the low-angle mid-IR-light scattering and electron-beam-induced current. The large-scale accumulations of electrically-active impurities detected in this material were found to be different in their nature and formation mechanisms from th…
An alkaline-type direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) using a natural clay electrolyte with non-platinum catalysts is proposed. So-called hydrotalcite clay, Mg–Al layered double hydroxide intercalated with CO₃²⁻, is shown to be a hydroxide ion conductor. An alkaline-type DEFC using this natural clay as the electrolyte and…
Abstract Cyclin A 2 is a prognostic indicator in early‐stage cancer. However, since most of peptide‐protein bindings do not produce an easily measurable output signal, this severely hinders homogeneous detection of protein using peptide as detection probe. Cyclin A 2 can be detected as low as 0.6 μ M using a well‐know…
We study the conductivity of a graphene strip taking into account electrostatically induced charge accumulation on its edges. Using a local dependency of the conductivity on the carrier concentration we find that the electrostatic size effect in doped graphene strip of the width of 0.5–3 μm can result in a significant…
The operation principles of nanoscale devices are based upon both electronic and mechanical properties of materials. Because these properties can be coupled, they need to be investigated simultaneously. At this moment, however, the electronic structure calculations with custom-made long-range mechanical distortions ar…
The spatial fluctuations of deformation are studied in the creep in Andrade's power law and the logarithmic phases, using paper samples. Measurements by the digital image correlation technique show that the relative strength of the strain rate fluctuations increases with time, in both creep regimes. In the Andrade cre…
We report our detailed investigation of high-resolution imaging using secondary electrons (SE) with a subnanometer probe in an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope, Hitachi HD2700C. This instrument also allows us to acquire the corresponding annular-dark-field (ADF) images simultaneously and separatel…
The strongly enhanced and localized optical fields that occur within the gaps between metallic nanostructures can be leveraged for a wide range of functionality in nanophotonic and optical metamaterial applications. Here, we introduce a means of precise control over these nanoscale gaps through the application of a mo…
The microporosity of two microporous polymer networks is investigated in detail. Both networks are based on a central spirobifluorene motif but have different linker groups, namely, imide and thiophene units. The microporosity of the networks is based on the "polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM)" design strategy.…
We elucidate on the low mobility and charge traps of the chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets by measuring and analyzing temperature dependent current-voltage characteristics. The RGO sheets were assembled between source and drain electrodes via dielectrophoresis. At low bias voltage the conduction is Ohmic…
