The kinetics of oxygen removal from CeO2 were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis, at high temperatures, under a reducing atmosphere of Ar–6%H2. A chemical diffusivity model was developed that takes into account the composition dependence of both the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy. In this…

Correlation between the size-enhanced Stokes shift and the size-enlarged band gap expansion of porous silicon has been derived, which allows us to discriminate the effect of electron-phonon coupling from the effect of crystal binding on the blueshift in photoemission and photoabsorption of nanosolid silicon. Matching…

A CaF2:Er3+ single crystal was grown by the Tammann–Stober method. The potential of this material as a laser crystal for 1530 nm emission was established by quantitative analysis of the optical absorption and emission spectra. Assuming the tetragonal symmetry of the Er3+ sites, the Bkq crystal field parameters, Racah…

${\mathrm{CoS}}_{2}$ has recently been predicted to be highly spin-polarized, but very little is known about its magnetotransport properties. We find that this system exhibits a large anomaly in the resistivity at the Curie temperature ${(T}_{C}),$ which shows a pronounced shift with applied field, resulting in negati…

Dielectric loss spectra at both ambient and elevated pressure are presented for propylene glycol (PG), dipropylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol. While in previous literature the excess wing (EW) was observed only for PG, we show herein that under high pressure an EW (coexistent with a secondary \ensuremath{\beta} r…

We have investigated the electronic structure of Zn1−xMxO (M: 3d transition metal) by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Using configuration–interaction cluster-model analyses, electronic structure parameters have been deduced and their chemical trend is discussed. Results show that the p–d exchange constant Nβ is negativ…

We demonstrate the possibility of a selective nonequilibrium cap opening of carbon nanotubes as a response to femtosecond laser excitation. By performing molecular dynamics simulations based on a microscopic electronic model we show that the laser-induced ultrafast structural changes differ dramatically from the therm…
