Zn 1−x Mg x O:Al thin films have been grown epitaxially on c-plane sapphire substrates by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering. Structural evaluation indicated that the ZnMgO films had similar crystalline perfection as ZnO films grown under similar conditions. Postdeposition annealing with in situ In doping wa…

Fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-C:F) films were deposited by radio frequency bias assisted microwave plasma electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition with tetrafluoromethane (CF4) and acetylene (C2H2) as precursors. The deposition process was performed at two flow ratios R=0.90 and R=0.97, where R=CF4/(CF…

Vinyl-addition poly(norbornene) copolymers functionalized with nonlinear optical chromophore side groups have been prepared using (η 6 -toluene)Ni(C 6 F 5 ) 2, and their electrooptic properties have been characterized. The nickel complex used to polymerize the norbornene monomers is tolerant to many functional groups…

A new parameterized model for the ablation phenomena is presented. The model describes the three different regimes usually observed, as a function of the laser fluence. The first one corresponds to a vaporization; it takes place at low fluence and it is well described by a typical Arrhenius expression, dependent on th…

The elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of 0.58Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.42PbTiO3 (PMN-42%PT) were determined experimentally using combined resonance and ultrasonic methods. At room temperature the PMN-42%PT single crystal has tetragonal symmetry. The measured piezoelectric constant d33 is ∼260×10−12 C/N. The el…

The interaction of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) with carbon nanotubes is analyzed by experimental and theoretical methods. Using first-principles calculations we studied the structural and electronic behavior of DCB interacting with a semiconductor (8,0) single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT). We have found that the DCB weak…

Amorphous-amorphous transitions in silica glass under a variety of thermomechanical conditions are studied with molecular-dynamics simulations using a charge-transfer three-body potential model. The polyamorphic transitions can be reversible or irreversible depending on the combination of pressure and temperature at w…

The locality of correlation functions is considered for Fermi systems at non-zero temperature. We show that for all short-range, lattice Hamiltonians, the correlation function of any two fermionic operators decays exponentially with a correlation length which is of order the inverse temperature for small temperature.…

Motivated by recent suggestions --to split the electron-electron interaction into a short-range part, to be treated within the density functional theory, and a long-range part, to be handled by other techniques-- we compute, with a diffusion Monte Carlo method, the ground-state energy of a uniform electron gas with a…

Nanoscale polarization switching in ferroelectric materials by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) in weak and strong indentation limits is analyzed using exact solutions for electrostatic and coupled electroelastic fields below the tip. It is proposed that the tip-induced domain switching can be mapped on the Landau…

The symmetry properties and the general overview of the superconductivity theory in the itinerant ferromagnets and in materials without space parity are presented. The basic notions of unconventional superconductivity are introduced in broad context of multiband superconductivity which is inherent property of ferromag…

We study the magnetization reversal and electromagnetic radiation due to collective Landau-Zener relaxation in a crystal of molecular magnets. Analytical and numerical solutions for the time dependence of the relaxation process are obtained. The power of the radiation and the total emitted energy are computed as funct…

In-plane thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric layered cobalt oxides has been measured using the Harman method, in which thermal conductivity is obtained from temperature gradient induced by applied current. We have found that the charge reservoir block (the block other than the CoO2 block) dominates the thermal…

We calculate numerically the magnetization direction as function of magnetic field in the Stoner–Wohlfarth theory and are able to reproduce the shape of the low-field magnetoresistance hysteresis observed in manganite grain boundary junctions. Moreover, we show that it is necessary to include biaxial magnetocrystallin…

New relaxor ferroelectric system has been synthesized. BLTN exhibits a smeared maximum of permittivity, characteristic of classic relaxor behaviour, with a peak shift from 185 K at 100 Hz to 300 K at 1 GHz.

To describe the nonequilibrium states of a system we introduce a new thermodynamic parameter - the lifetime of a system. The statistical distributions which can be obtained out of the mesoscopic description characterizing the behaviour of a system by specifying the stochastic processes are written down. The expression…

In a recently developed theory of the atomic motion in monatomic liquids, the motion is comprised of normal mode vibrations in any of the large number of equivalent random valleys, interspersed with nearly instantaneous transits which carry the system between neighboring valleys. The consequences for the dynamical str…
