Using the discrete dipole approximation method, two visible extinction peaks are found for Ag nanohelixes. Both of them redshift periodically in an approximate half pitch with the helix height and redshift linearly with the helix diameter and pitch height. At the two absorbance peaks, an integer number of E-field maxi…

We report a method to predict the frequency dependence of coercive fields in ferroelectric films. The deduction of this method as well as the analysis are based on investigations of intrinsic switching kinetics of high-quality, single-crystal-like, epitaxial Pb(Zr 0.2 Ti 0.8 )O 3 thin films with extended defect-free s…

We have found that there is a narrow but distinct window in oxygen pressure for growing phase-pure epitaxial EuO films by a pulsed laser deposition. With finely decreasing the oxygen pressure, the electrical property is varied from insulating to metallic with an enhancement in Curie temperature from 70 to 120 K. The a…

Nanostructured porous silicon (nanoPS) basically consists in a network of silicon nanocrystals with high specific surface. Its intrinsic high surface reactivity makes nanoPS a very suitable material for the development of biosensors. In this work, the surface of nanoPS was functionalized by the use of (3-aminopropyl)t…

Clusters of EuS nanocrystals formed through the thermal assembly of 2.5 nm nanocrystal monomers by varying the annealing temperature from 300 to 340 °C. Below 310 °C, oleate ligands stabilized on the surface of the EuS nanocrystals, giving rise to their low solubility in triethanolamine while facilitating monomer–mono…

The preparation and characterization of Schottky contacts on differently grown n-type ZnO crystals was studied. We demonstrate that depending on the crystal growth process different procedures of surface treatment should be used to achieve good Schottky contacts. A treatment in a dc-hydrogen plasma enables us to fabri…

We investigate theoretically the transmission properties through a p-n-p junction on graphene. Here, we show that the electronic transport property presents deep analogies with light propagation. It originates from the similarity between the linear spectra of the Dirac fermions and photons that obey the Maxwell’s equa…

Electron spin resonance study of unzipped graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) reveals a specific carbon-related signal, denoted GC, at g=2.0032, attributed to GNRs periphery centers. The signal is observed to be readily quenched upon O2 adsorption, which appears to be fully reversible upon room temperature vacuum treatment. I…
