The fundamental zones of Rodrigues–Frank (R-F) space applicable to misorientations between crystals of any two Laue groups are constructed by using a unified formulation in terms of quaternion algebra. Some of these regions are fully bounded by planes that are determined solely by the symmetries of the groups, while o…

Surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) is a sensing technique widely used for its label-free feature. However, its sensitivity is contingent on the divergence angle of the excitation beam. The problem becomes pronounced for compact systems when a low-cost LED is used as the light source. When the Kretschmann configuration wi…

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of new ferrocene‐containing mesomorphous compounds is described. In order to induce mesogenic behavior, the structure of the substituent was systematically modified. Derivatives with no more than two rings in the core did not exhibit liquid crystalline properties. The synthe…

In this paper, we derived a compact model for the description of the P–E hysteresis behavior based on the dipole switching theory. Simulation results show good agreement with the experiment for various hysteresis loops, and the mathematical description can be easily combined with an electronic design automation softwa…

We report a study on the influence of charge trapping on electroluminescence (EL) from Si nanocrystal (nc-Si) distributed throughout a 30nm SiO2 thin film synthesized by Si+ implantation into an oxide film thermally grown on a p-type Si substrate. The electron and hole trapping in the nc-Si located near the indium tin…

Cyclic siloxanes with pendent naphthalene diimide groups were synthesized via hydrosilylation to form amorphous electron-accepting compounds. Photophysical measurements and >99.9% fluorescence quenching of well-known p-type polymers by the siloxanes demonstrate that these siloxanes form a new class of highly efficient…

The electron density map of a block copolymer thin film having the hexagonally perforated layer (HPL) structure was directly obtained from the measured grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) pattern, exploiting the multiple-scattering phenomena present in GISAXS. It is shown that GISAXS is in principl…

The reaction of calcium carbonate (1014) single-crystal surfaces with formic acid (HCOOH) vapor was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). AFM images indicate the reaction produces rather well-defined crystallites, preferentially at step edges and at distinct angle…
