The results of x-ray diffraction, and ac and dc magnetization as a function of temperature are reported for a new class of spin-chain oxides, Ca3Co1+xIr1-xO6. While the x= 0.0, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 are found to form in the K4CdCl6-derived rhombhohedral (space group R-3c) structure, the x= 0.7 composition is found to under…

The results of ac susceptibility (chi) measurements for Ca3CoXO6 (X = Rh, Ir and Co) compounds, containing spin-chains separated by Ca ions, are presented. All these compounds exhibit an unusually large frequency dependence of ac chi, in the vicinity of respective magnetic ordering temperatures, which is normally not…

The annealing kinetics of mobile intrinsic defects is investigated by an ab initio method based on density functional theory. The interstitial-vacancy recombination, the diffusion of vacancies and interstitials to defect sinks (e.g. surfaces or dislocations) as well as the formation of interstitial-clusters are consid…

The structural, vibrational, energetic and electronic properties of hydrogen at the stoichiometric RuO2(110) termination are studied using density functional theory. The oxide surface is found to stabilize both molecular and dissociated H2. The most stable configuration in form of hydroxyl groups (monohydrides) at the…

We have fabricated 5nm-high Fe(110) stripes by self-organized (SO) growth on a slightly vicinal R(110)/Al2O3(11-20) surface, with R=Mo, W. Remanence, coercivity and domain patterns were observed at room temperature (RT). This contrasts with conventional SO epitaxial systems, that are superparamagnetic or even non-magn…

Barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) crystallites with various particle sizes from 17 to 100 nm were prepared by the 2-step thermal decomposition method of barium titanyl oxalate (BaTiO(C 2 O 4 ) 2 ·4H 2 O). The crystal structure of these BaTiO 3 particles was assigned to cubic m-3m by a X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement whil…

The thermoelectric properties of filled gallium-germanium clathrates are analyzed from a band-structure point of view. Using the virtual crystal approximation the undoped clathrates are calculated to be semiconductors with band gaps around 0.6--0.9 eV. The conduction bands hybridize with the unoccupied d states of the…

A broad visible and infrared photoluminescence continuum is detected from surface-plasmon-enhanced transitions in gold nanostructures. We find that the ratio of generated infrared to visible emission is much stronger for gold nanostructures than for smooth gold films. While visible emission is well explained by interb…

Abstract A study was carried out on the wet spinning of chitosan fibers using 2% acetic acid as a solvent, 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide as a nonsolvent, and 4% chitosan solution as a polymer concentration. In this study, we investigated the effect of the ripening time of the spinning dope on the ability of fiber forma…

The common interpretation of the local-density approximation (LDA) band structure of ${\mathrm{V}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is that the apparent splitting of the ${a}_{1g}$ band into a low intensity structure deep below the Fermi energy and a high intensity feature above it is due to the bonding-antibonding coupling of th…

In this article, we present an investigation into the sound radiation from a permanent‐magnet DC electric motor using the finite‐element (FE) and boundary‐element (BE) models. A three‐times‐coupled electromagnetic‐mechanical‐acoustic numerical model was set‐up to predict the acoustic field. The first stage was to calc…
