The low-temperature (<150 K) oxidation of nitrided iron surfaces exposed to oxygen and water was probed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), and mass spectrometry (MS). During exposure of nitrided iron surfaces to oxygen, iron oxynitride (Fe x N y O z ), ni…
Scanning capacitance microscopy was used to image the polarization-induced microstructural patterns of sol-gel derivative SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films. A sharp image contrast was induced between the nanosized domains owing to the various polarities, so that the domain structure in the SBT thin film was clearly revealed…
Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, 8 to 9 nm in size, have been synthesized using an aqueous precipitation technique. X-ray diffraction and chemical titration confirm a single cubic spinel phase with expected stoichiometry. Superparamagnetic behavior has been observed in pressed pellets of the nanoparticles above 200 K.…
We investigate oxygen vacancy ordering in epitaxial (La0.5Sr0.5)CoO3−∂ thin films grown by sputter deposition on (001) LaAlO3 and (001) SrTiO3. After annealing at 500 °C under oxygen partial pressures greater than those used during deposition, films transform to a long-range oxygen vacancy ordered structure with ortho…
Magnetic field-induced strain (MFIS) along the [001]P (the symbol “P” represents parent phase) direction due to the conversion of martensite variants has been investigated for a disordered Fe–31.2Pd(at. %) single crystal and an ordered Fe3Pt single crystal exhibiting martensitic transformations from cubic phases to te…
Three distinct liquid–liquid coexistence regions were observed for ST2 model water by restricted ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of the isotherms of homogenized systems and by phase equilibria simulations in the Gibbs ensemble. The lowest density liquid–liquid transition meets the liquid–vapor phase transition at a t…
Electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) is a potentially fast and resistless deposition technique which might overcome the fundamental resolution limits of conventional electron-beam lithography. We advance the understanding of the EBID process by simulating the structure growth. The merit of our model is that it expl…
We report total-energy electronic structure calculations that provide energetics of encapsulation of various fullerenes in carbon nanotubes and electronic structures of resulting carbon peapods. We find that the electron states of the peapods depend on the space in the nanotubes and that they reflect electron states o…
We report detailed studies of magnetization (M) as a function of magnetic field H (up to 50 kOe) and temperature T (5–380 K) in x% Co/TiO2 (rutile) films for x=1, 4, 6, 10, and 12. These films, prepared by sputtering, show room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM). Measurements of M vs T at H=50 Oe reported here in zero-…
The effect of hydrogen doping on luminescence properties of ZnO was investigated. Hydrogen was incorporated in the ZnO crystal by irradiation with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP), in particular, the pulse modulated mode operation of ICP, and the luminescence spectra and hydrogen concentration of the resultant samp…
We have performed a series of molecular dynamics simulations of alkali metal (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+) and halide (F−, Cl−, Br−, and I−) ions in water at infinite dilution at T=258 K to investigate the effects of ion size on the hydration structure and diffusion of ions in supercooled water. Simulations are also pe…
A remarkable reduction in coercivity Hc was found in sputtered Fe65Co35(=FeCo) films on Cu, NiFe, Ru, Ta/Cu, Ta/NiFe, or Cu/IrMn underlayers. A decrease in Hc from 120 to 7–12 Oe was observed for Cu, NiFe, and Ru underlayers as thin as 2.5 nm but less for Ta. A Cu underlayer significantly reduced the maximum anisotrop…
We report on the magnetic properties of Fe-filled multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on Si substrates with ferrocene as precursor. The MWNTs are aligned perpendicularly to the substrate plane. X-ray diffraction analyses indicate the presence of both bcc and fcc iron with a re…
Fullerene nanotubes yield to tension in two basic ways. At high temperature (or in the long time limit) a single bond rotation creates a dislocation-dipole favored thermodynamically under large stress. However, at low temperature (or limited time range) this process remains prohibitively slow until further increase of…
Using Raman backscattering spectroscopy we have observed six local vibrational modes in as-grown state-of-the-art nominally undoped zinc oxide single crystals. The local vibrational modes are located at $\ensuremath{\nu}=2854$, 2890, 2918, 2948, 2988, and $3096\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{c}\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$.…
We have investigated the A1→L10 ordering process of FePt granular films with different particle sizes. Although FePt particles larger than ∼7 nm ordered by annealing at 600 °C, the ordering did not proceed when the particle size was smaller than ∼4 nm in diameter. This suggests that there is a size dependence on the o…
A discrete dislocation plasticity analysis of plastic deformation in metal thin films caused by thermal stress is carried out. The calculations use a two-dimensional plane-strain formulation with only edge dislocations. Single crystal films with a specified set of slip systems are considered. The film-substrate system…
Cobalt nanoparticles are incorporated into hexagonal honeycomb mesoporous silica to study the effect of nanoscale confinement on magnetic coupling. The superparamagnetic Co particles can fill a significant fraction of the total pore volume and can constitute up to 22.1 ± 0.9% by mass of the composite. We find that Co…
Magnetic phase diagrams of the hexagonal RMnO3 (with R=Sc, Y, Ho, In, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) compounds in the magnetic-field/temperature plane are established by linear and nonlinear magneto-optical techniques. Eight different magnetic phases of the Mn3+ sublattice and at least three different phases of the R3+ sublattices a…
We study the temperature dependence of the magnetic anisotropy of three different martensites known to exist in the Ni–Mn–Ga alloys. The anisotropy constants were determined from magnetization curves measured at different temperatures. The anisotropy of five-layered modulated tetragonal martensite is uniaxial with eas…
