Two-dimensional channelling patterns, derived from variations in characteristic X-ray emission rates as a function of incident electron beam orientation, have been recorded from an Al 72 Ni 20 Co 8 decagonal quasicrystal for the first time. These channelling patterns indicate that the Al and transition metal atoms occ…

Free radical polymerization of two formulations based on tetraethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate initiated by azobis(methylbutyronitrile) were investigated. Two comonomers were used (20 wt %), styrene or divinylbenzene. The polymerization was conducted under isothermal conditions at various temperatures between 60…
The I28 immunoglobulin (Ig)-like module of human cardiac titin, an elastic muscle protein, was used to cross-link acrylamide (AAm) copolymers into hybrid hydrogels. Cross-linking was accomplished through metal coordination bonding between terminal histidine tags (His tags) of the I28 module and metal-chelating nitrilo…
Ferroelectric properties for dense bulk ceramics of Sr-deficient and Bi-excess strontium bismuth tantalate, Sr1−xBi2+xTa2O9, were investigated, and their crystal structures were analyzed by the powder x-ray diffraction Rietveld method. A successful pattern fitting was obtained under the assumption that Bi was substitu…
Excited-state absorption spectra of two Nd-doped glasses, a silicate LSG91H and a phosphate LHG8 from Hoya, are reported. An adequate model based on up-conversion energy transfers is then used to account for the shortening of the infrared fluorescence decays and the losses on the stored energies observed or predicted…
We present a detailed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission study of the electronic band structure of the room-temperature quasicommensurate charge-density-wave phase of $1T\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}.$ In particular, we show that no crossings of the Fermi level are visible in the complete Brillouin zone,…
Ti-deficient SrTixO3−δ films, x<1, were grown on 〈100〉 oriented SrTiO3 single crystal substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering from stoichiometric targets. The Ti-deficiency was adjusted by the sputtering gas pressure. The Ti/Sr cation ratio, x, was determined by Rutherford backscattering and energy d…
X-ray-absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES or NEXAFS) has been used to obtain information on the orientation, corrugation, and cross-linking of graphitic carbon nitride planes, structural parameters that determine the mechanical properties of the material. The contribution of p electrons from carbon and nitrogen a…
We derive an approximate analytical expression for the density-of-states singularities in single-walled carbon nanotubes. Our approximation goes beyond the lowest-order, isotropic approach and yields the energy splitting for an arbitary chiral angle in metallic nanotubes. Semiconducting tubes are shown to fall into tw…
Scanning tunneling microscope spectroscopy is used to study in detail the electronic band structure of carbon nanotubes as well as to locally investigate electronic features of interesting topological sites such as nanotube ends and bends. From a large number of measurements of the tunneling density-of-states (DOS) na…
Electroluminescence (EL) spectra of nanoscale diodes formed after gate-oxide breakdown of n+-polysilicon/oxide/p+-substrate metal–oxide–semiconductor capacitors were measured in reverse and forward bias. The nanoscale diodes, called diode antifuses, are created by the formation of a small link between the n+-poly and…
In order to understand the phase stability and physical properties of artificial close-packed Cr films, we have performed electronic structure and total-energy calculations for Cr in bcc, fcc, and hcp structures based density functional theory with local-density approximation plus generalized gradient corrections. The…
For the first time, commonly unaccessible local electronic structure parameters of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ in minerals are derived from the calculation of the pre-edge features of X-ray absorption spectra at the Fe K edge. The Ligand Field Multiplet approach is used to calculate the eigenstates of the ions and the absolute in…

The structure and electronic properties of potassium-doped single-wall carbon nanotubes have been studied by conduction electron spin resonance, conductivity $(\ensuremath{\sigma}),$ and x-ray diffraction (XRD), using in situ electrochemical methods. The spin susceptibility ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{P}$ of the K-saturated…
The potential of acetylation of plant fibers to improve the properties of composites was studied. The chemical modification of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), coconut fiber (Coir), oil palm frond (OPF), jute, and flax using noncatalyzed acetic anhydride were investigated. Proof of acetylation was indicated by the in…
The sonolytic decomposition chemistry of the refractory compound 1,4-dioxane in aqueous solution has been investigated at four ultrasonic frequencies (205, 358, 618, and 1071 kHz). To maintain fully saturated solutions, argon and oxygen were used as sparge gases. Using a frequency of 358 kHz, the observed first-order…
Time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy at 2 K was used to measure the radiative recombination lifetime of the allowed (Γ5) and forbidden (Γ6) free excitons in ZnO. The measurements were made on a sample containing internal strain, which altered the sample symmetry, and resulted in relaxed selection rules, allowi…
The presence of silicon nanocrystals in Er doped SiO2 can enhance the effective Er optical absorption cross section by several orders of magnitude due to a strong coupling between quantum confined excitons and Er. This article studies the fundamental processes that determine the potential of Si nanocrystals as sensiti…
