Macroporous ceramics are fabricated using emulsions stabilized with particles of various chemical compositions. Stabilization with particles hinders extensive droplet coalescence during solvent extraction, allowing for drying and sintering of the emulsions directly into macroporous materials in the absence of any chem…

Closely packed ZnO nanowire array was fabricated on a n-type Si (100) substrate by a magnetron cosputtering method. The ZnO nanowire/n-Si heterojunction showed good diode characteristics with rectification ratio of above 1.6×102 at 4V in the dark. Experiments demonstrated that the diode could be used to detect either…

We review the formalisms of the self-consistent GW approximation to many-body perturbation theory and of the generation of optimally-localized Wannier functions from groups of energy bands. We show that the quasiparticle Bloch wave functions from such GW calculations can be used within this Wannier framework. These Wa…

Graphene was deposited on a transparent and flexible substrate and tensile strain up to ~0.8% was loaded by stretching the substrate in one direction. Raman spectra of strained graphene show significant redshifts of 2D and G band (-27.8 cm^-1 and -14.2 cm^-1per 1% strain, respectively), because of the elongation of th…
