Methods of making mesostructured sol-gel silicate thin films containing two different molecules deliberately placed in two different spatially separated regions in a one-step, one-pot preparation are developed and demonstrated. When the structure-directing agent is the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, the st…
We construct a rejection-free Monte Carlo algorithm for a system with continuous degrees of freedom. We illustrate the algorithm by applying it to the classical three-dimensional Heisenberg model with canonical Metropolis dynamics. We obtain the lifetime of the metastable state following a reversal of the external mag…
We describe novel excitons in quantum dots by allowing for an interaction with a Fermi sea of electrons. We argue that these excitons can be realized very simply with self-assembled quantum dots, using the wetting layer as host for the Fermi sea. We show that a tunnel hybridization of a charged exciton with the Fermi…
Optically-controlled exciton dynamics in coupled quantum dots is studied. We show that the maximally entangled Bell states and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states can be robustly generated by manipulating the system parameters to be at the avoided crossings in the eigenenergy spectrum. The analysis of population…
Measurements of the electrical and thermal conductivities, thermopower and paramagnetic susceptibility have been performed on single crystal samples of Bi1/2Sr1/2MnO3 and complemented with the X-ray powder diffraction data. A pronounced hysteretic behavior, observed below the cubic-to- orthorhombic transition at Tcrit…
Starting from a simple microscopic model, we have derived a kinetic equation for the matrix distribution function. We employed this equation to calculate the conductance $G$ in a mesoscopic F'/F/F' structure with a domain wall (DW). In the limit of a small exchange energy $J$ and an abrupt DW, the conductance of the s…
We show that the critique of our recent papers presented in the abovementioned paper (NS) appeals to an incorrect mathematical analogy between electrical circuits and linear magnetization dynamics, improperly uses classical concepts of normal modes and basic equations, gives inconsistent results and therefore comes to…
Three-coordinate organometallic complexes are rare, especially with the prototypical methyl ligand. Using a hindered, rigid bidentate ligand (L), it is possible to create 12-electron methyliron(II) and 13-electron methylcobalt(II) complexes. These complexes are thermally stable, and (1)H NMR spectra suggest that the l…
We review synthesis, structural characterization, and catalysis by supported bimetallic clusters. Initial steps in the preparations include (a) adsorption of molecular metal clusters with preformed metal−metal bonds; (b) synthesis in zeolite cages; and (c) adsorption of a metal complex on a supported complex or cluste…
Opinion has long been divided as to whether the Mg/Ca ratio of seawater remained constant during the Phanerozoic or underwent substantial secular change. Existing empirical evidence for the Mg/Ca of ancient seawater provides a poorly resolved and often controversial signal. Echinoderm fossils that have retained their…
We present a rationalization of the Raman spectra of orthorhombic and rhombohedral, stoichiometric and doped, manganese perovskites. In particular, we study $R{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ $(R=\mathrm{La},$ Pr, Nd, Tb, Ho, Er, Y, and Ca) and the different phases of Ca- or Sr-doped $R{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ compounds as well as cati…
A new class of organic nanoparticles (CN-MBE nanoparticles) with a mean diameter of ca. 30-40 nm, which exhibit a strongly enhanced fluorescence emission, were prepared by a simple reprecipitation method. CN-MBE (1-cyano-trans-1,2-bis-(4'-methylbiphenyl)ethylene) is very weakly fluorescent in solution, but the intensi…
The electron spin resonance (ESR) technique has been used for the detection and the study of paramagnetic defects in various low-k dielectrics. Whereas the studied organic polymers (SiLK(R), FLARE(R)) exhibit an ESR response as previously reported, no defects could be detected in the silicon based organo-mineral mater…
This study identified a quadratic energy loss process in europium-doped strontium thiogallate using luminescent decay time analysis. The role of activator–activator cross relaxation in producing the nonlinearity in the luminescent efficiency for SrGa2S4:Eu was assessed. Ground-state depletion did not contribute to the…
Copper alloys have been used for many centuries for their ease of fabrication, and corrosion resistance. In marine applications, copper and some copper alloys also have the property of possessing a high resistance to the attachment and growth of marine organisms that foul most other materials exposed to the ocean. The…
Experiments were conducted to measure the space charge profiles in XLPE containing anti-oxidants to examine the origin of heterocharge creation. Negative heterocharge in the vicinity of positive electrode in XLPE containing PDP (Peroxide Decomposition Products) was discoverd to be greatly influenced by the kind of ant…
Partial discharge (PD) occurrence and change of pattern were measured and simultaneously the space charge accumulation was measured under AC voltage using modified Pulsed Electro Acoustic (PEA) method at the same measuring system. In order to investigate the space charge effect in PD as phase angle varied, space charg…
This paper deals with free-conducting particle motion and particle-triggered breakdown mechanism in AC and DC electric fields between nonparallel plane electrodes. Particle motion is divided into several modes, and particle-triggered breakdown mechanisms are discussed for each motion mode theoretically and experimenta…
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are unique solid state components that can be used as a cooling device when supplied with electric power. These coolers can be built in many configurations for unusual applications where parasitic thermal energy must be managed. Such an application is in secondary (rechargeable) batter…
Metal interconnect and barrier characterization are challenged by reduced feature sizes, advanced materials, and new technologies. Microstructure characterization of new materials is done for thin films deposited on flat substrates and for on-chip interconnect structures. In this paper, both Al and Cu metallizations a…
