The preparation and characterization of highly dispersed metal nanoparticles in porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) films are reported. Cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel nanowires are prepared within the pores of an AAO template by electropolymerization of acrylamide. Metal nanoparticles are introduced into th…
We report an effective method of increasing the sp3 hybridization fraction in sputtered amorphous carbon (a-C) film by the combination of Ar ion bombardment and Si incorporation. In the deposition of an a-C film, Ar ion bombardment by controlling the applied bias voltage plays a role in creating high stress in film an…
Abstract In this study the morphology of LDPE/TPS blends prepared by a one‐step extrusion process is compared to that obtained by reprocessing of the original blends. The influence of composition and melt drawing is examined. A novel methodology based on the form factor of the dispersed particle was used to estimate t…
Diffusion of a solute in a periodic porous solid is analyzed. An expression for the effective diffusion coefficient is derived for a solute diffusing in a porous medium formed by a simple cubic lattice of spherical cavities connected by narrow tubes. This expression shows how the effective diffusion coefficient depend…
The mechanical coupling effect in a magnetoelectric (ME) composite structure in which a magnetostrictive component is bonded with a piezoelectric one is simulated by numerical technique, focusing on an optimization of the magnetoelectric coupling output. The simulation starts from an experimentally developed ME compos…
Using ab initio calculations we study the stability of Si-based cages and nanotubes stabilized by encapsulated transition metal atoms (TMAs). It is demonstrated that the stabilization of these cages and nanotubes as well as their magnetic properties are strongly guided by a delicate interplay between the attainable sy…
Room-temperature electroluminescence at 1.3 and 1.5 μm from Ge/Si quantum-dot light-emitting diodes is reported. The devices were fabricated in a mesa-type structure, with a silicon oxide layer on the top for surface/sidewall passivation. Different passivation processes were employed. We found that the integrated elec…
Highly (111)-oriented (Pb0.76Ca0.24)TiO3 (PCT) thin films were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by a sol–gel process. The Au/PCT/Pt metal–insulator–metal film capacitor showed well-saturated hysteresis loops at an applied field of 800 kV/cm with remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive electric field (Ec) values of 18…
We present a theoretical study of polymer networks, formed by connecting dendritic building blocks (DBB’s). We concentrate on the Rouse dynamics of such networks and perform our study in two steps, considering first single generalized dendrimers (GD’s) and then networks formed by such DBB’s. In GD’s the functionality…
Heusler compounds are promising candidates for future spintronics device applications. The electronic and magnetic properties of Co 2 Cr 0.6 Fe 0.4 Al, an electron-doped derivative of Co 2 CrAl, are investigated using circularly polarized synchrotron radiation and photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). Element spec…
Relaxation and conduction mechanisms under small ac fields of laser ablated ZrTiO4 thin films were analyzed in the light of impedance and modulus spectroscopy. The overall dielectric properties were mainly dominated by a Maxwell–Wagner type of relaxation with grains and the grain boundary two distinct parts of the cir…
Performance and reliability of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) components can be enhanced dramatically through the incorporation of protective thin-film coatings. Current-generation MEMS devices prepared by the lithographie-galvanoformung-abformung (LIGA) technique employ transition metals such as Ni, Cu, Fe, or…
We report here temperature measurement by means of a Ga-filled C nanotube thermometer with diameter <150 nm and length ∼12 μm. The method relies on the initial identification and calibration of a nanothermometer in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), followed by placing it into an air-filled furnace whose…
The synthesis, chemical characterization and liquid crystalline behavior of a series of seven poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) codendrimers are described. These compounds were obtained by grafting two types of terminal promesogenic units, that carry either one or two decyloxy chains, in various proportions onto the third gene…
Room-temperature x-ray diffraction and Mössbauer effect techniques have been used to characterize the structural features and local atomic environments of sputtered Fe51Pt49 thin films following various isothermal treatments. Both techniques show that no significant changes occur in the chemically ordered L10 tetragon…
The biaxial modulus and the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of sputtered amorphous Ge4Sb1Te5, Ge2Sb2Te5, and Ag0.055In0.065Sb0.59Te0.29 thin films were determined from stress versus temperature measurements on two different substrates. Viscous flow was measured by stress relaxation at constant temperature usin…
Natamycin is a broad spectrum antimycotic with very low water solubility, which is used to extend the shelf life of shredded cheese products. beta-Cyclodextrin (beta-CD), hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HP beta-CD), and gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) were found to form inclusion complexes with natamycin in aqueous sol…
Phase manipulation between $c(4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2)$ and $p(2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2)$ on the Si(100) surface has been demonstrated at 4.2 K for the first time using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. We have discovered that it is possible to change the $c(4\ifmmode\times\else…
The temperature dependence of the resistance and the thermoelectric power have been measured to high temperatures on single-crystal $R{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ $(R=\mathrm{La},$ Pr, Nd) and ${\mathrm{LaMn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ $(0<~x<~0.5).$ The data reveal two well-defined transition…
Crystalline solutions of (1−x)(Bi,La)(Fe0.95Ga0.05)O3–xPbTiO3 (BLGF–PT) have been fabricated with La concentrations of 0, 10, and 20 at. %. The BLGF–PT system has been found to have excellent insulation resistivity ⩽1013 Ω cm. In addition, La substituent was found to decrease the coercive field, resulting in much impr…
