We present a method for constructing a scalar-relativistic pseudopotential which provides exact agreement with relativistic Dirac-Slater all-electron eigenvalues at the reference configuration. All-electron wave functions are self-consistently computed in the valence region at the exact all-electron scalar relativisti…

Magnetotransport properties of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As have been investigated. Measurements at low temperature (50 mK) and high magnetic field (<= 27 T) have been employed in order to determine the hole concentration p = 3.5x10^20 cm ^-3 of a metallic (Ga0.947Mn0.053)As layer. The analysis of the tempera…

Numerous and all unsuccessful attempts of experimental search for monopole in cosmic rays and on accelerators in high energy particle collisions have been done since the possibility of existence of a magnetic monopole has been surveyed in 1931. Also the searches have been carried out in mica for monopole tracks as wel…

Incoherent-inelastic neutron scattering data are obtained over the energy range of lattice and internal vibrations of water molecules in phases of ice prepared by pressure-induced amorphization (high-density amorphous ice, hda), by thermal annealing of hda (low-density amorphous ice, lda), and by rapidly cooling water…

A method is described to synthesize silicon carbide (SiC)-filled boron nitride (BN) nanotubes (NT) simultaneously in high yield by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as templates. This method combines both carbon nanotube-substitution reaction and confined reaction. Through the CNT-substitution reaction, CNTs react with bo…

We have measured an enhancement factor of Raman signal up to 30 times using a Fabry-Pérot structure made of porous silicon (PS) layers of different porosity. The obtained enhancement was due to the coupling of the laser radiation and Stokes photons of porous silicon with the microcavity mode at the optimal laser beam…

Nanocrystalline silicon embedded SiO2 matrix is formed by annealing the SiOx films fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. Absorption coefficient and photoluminescence of the films have been measured at room temperature. The experimental results show that there exists an exponential absorpti…

The third-order optical nonlinearity of metal(dmit)2 was investigated with femtosecond optical Kerr effect at 830 nm wavelength. The nonresonant second-order hyperpolarizability for the didodecyldimethylammonium–Au(dmit)2 (2C12–Au) molecule was estimated to be as large as 2.2×10−32 esu.

The electrical and thermal transport properties of a single-phase quasicrystalline material of composition Al70.8Pd20.9Mn8.3 have been measured as a function of temperature (T) over a range of 10 K&lt;T&lt;320 K. The following room-temperature values were found: electrical conductivity [640 (Ω cm)−1], Seebeck…

Si nanowires (SINWs) with different diameters have been synthesized by laser ablation in different ambient gases. SINWs with the diameter distribution peaks at ∼13.2 and ∼9.5 nm have been obtained respectively in He and Ar (5% H2). SINWs produced in N2 had the smallest peak diameter at 6 nm, and are mixed in with some…

Photoinduced surface relief grating (SRG) formation on azopolymer films is discussed precisely using a fluid mechanics model which takes depth dependence of photoinduced driving force and velocity distribution in the film surface into account. Formulation for the SRG dynamics is derived analytically as a function of f…

The elastic constants of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) and hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:H) thin films were determined nondestructively by surface Brillouin scattering. Besides the usual Rayleigh surface mode, we also observe a new pseudosurface acoustic mode of longitudinal polarization, which…

Formulas to describe the photoabsorption and the photon scattering by a plasma or a liquid metal are derived in a unified manner with each other. It is shown how the nuclear motion, the free-electron motion and the core-electron behaviour in each ion in the system determine the structure of photoabsorption and scatter…

A steady, two-dimensional cellular convection modifies the morphological instability of a binary alloy that undergoes directional solidification. When the convection wavelength is far longer than that of the morphological cells, the behaviour of the moving front is described by a slow, spatial–temporal dynamics obtain…

Fluorescence micropatterns of rhodamine dye were fabricated in silica/titania sol−gel films by photogeneration of gold nanoparticles. Local reduction of Au(III) ions included in the film enabled us to selectively embed the particles using UV irradiation with a photomask, pulse laser shot, or AFM-assisted reaction. Flu…

A theory is developed for the hydrodynamic interactions of surfactant-covered spherical drops in creeping flows. The surfactant is insoluble, and flow-induced changes of surfactant concentration are small, i.e. the film of adsorbed surfactant is incompressible. For a single surfactant-covered drop in an arbitrary inci…
