We present a study of the effects of electron-beam irradiation on the Raman spectra and electronic transport properties of graphene and the operation of graphene field-effect transistors (GFET). Exposure to a 30 keV electronbeam causes negative shifts in the charge-neutral point (CNP) of the GFET, interpreted as due t…

A Xenon gas bubble introduced into a vertically suspended steel cylinder is driven to sonoluminescence by impacting the apparatus against a solid steel base. This produces a 150-ns flash of broadband light that exceeds 100-W peak intensity and has a spectral temperature of 10,200 K. This bubble system, which yields li…

Using pre-existing ZnO nanowires as lattice-matched templates, we have systematically studied the catalyst-free regrowth of ZnO nanostructures in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. Because the templates (or crystal seeds) provided nanoscale preferential nucleation sites for the subsequent growth, changing ZnO s…

Abstract The influence of doping on the structural and optical characteristics of Ge 2 Sb 2 Te amorphous thin films has been determined with micro‐Raman scattering spectroscopy and a variable incident angle spectroscopic ellipsometer (VASE). The measured Raman spectra revealed the existence of two overlapping bands B2…

The current experimental methods are not able to reveal the actual processes of atomic movements during twinning and thus are incapable of clarifying the underlying mechanisms of annealing twinning, which are still not clear at present. We developed a method of molecular dynamics simulation to study the mechanism of a…

High-quality (0001)-oriented ZnO epitaxial films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on Si(111) buffered with a nanometer-thick Gd 2 O 3 (Ga 2 O 3 ), GGO, layer. The structural characteristics of the ZnO epi-layers were studied by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The in-plane epitax…

Three-dimensional (3D) fibrous hydrogels were fabricated by blending two photoactive polymers, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and the resulting solution was electrospun. PEGDA is a commonly used hydrogel material for tissue engineering applications since its interaction with ce…

We report the strong magnetic field dependence of ferroelectric PbZr(0.52)Ti(0.48)O(3) (PZT) films on half-metallic oxide La(0.67)Sr(0.33)MnO(3) (LSMO) electrodes. As the field H is increased, the hysteresis loop first broadens (becomes lossy) and then disappears at approximately H = 0.34 T and ambient temperatures. T…

Cesium dihydrogen phosphate (CsH2PO4, CDP) and dodecaphosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40·nH2O, WPA·nH2O) were mechanochemically milled to synthesize CDP–WPA composites. The ionic conductivities of these composites were measured by an ac impedance method under anhydrous conditions. Despite the synthesis temperatures being…

The spin-polarized transport properties of Fe atomic chain adsorbed on zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) are investigated using the density-functional theory in combination with the nonequilibrium Green's function method. We find that the Fe chain has drastic effects on spin-polarized transport properties of ZGNRs c…
