The present report contains recommendations on the nomenclature of the labuntsovite-group (LG) minerals based on a crystal-structural classification. The labuntsovite group includes hydrous titanium and niobium silicates, both orthorhombic and monoclinic, with a structure characterized by a framework consisting of cha…
Raman scattering and photoluminescence techniques were applied in the study of structural changes in benzophenone recorded during benzophenone's transit between glass and crystalline phases. It has been found that the structure of glassy benzophenone is essentially heterogeneous: consists of ``structured clusters'' wi…
Abstract Several imines were synthesized and evaluated as water‐initiated hardener for epoxy resin. Imines with a lower electron density on the C=N carbon showed a faster hydrolysis rate. Diethyl ketone‐based imines were the most efficiently hydrolyzed among the imines examined, and the adhesive properties of epoxy re…
Schneebergite and nickelschneebergite are new members of the tsumcorite group; they represent the bismuth analogues of cobaltlotharmeyerite and nickellotharmeyerite. The two minerals were discovered on samples from the former mining area “Am Roten Berg”, Schneeberg, Saxony, Germany; associated minerals are scorodite,…
The a- and c-axis-oriented epitaxial thin films of layered nickelate La2−xSrxNiO4 (0.5⩽x⩽1.5), of which bulk single crystals are not available, were grown on LaSrAlO4 (100) and (LaAlO3)0.3(SrAl0.5Ta0.5O3)0.7 (001) substrates, respectively. Due to the in-plane anisotropy of the lattice mismatch, the lattice parameters…
The dielectric and conduction behavior of La-doped SrTiO3 annealed in different atmospheres was studied. The results showed that the quantum-paraelectric behavior was purely suppressed by La doping. A variable-range-hopping conduction was observed for the samples annealed in a strongly reducing atmosphere, and subsequ…
We have developed a parallel film growth method on a temperature-gradient substrate to quickly control and optimize the film growth mode. A continuous-wave neodymium-doped yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser heating was used to achieve a stable temperature gradient covering a 300 °C range of temperatures over a distance of…
The multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) synthesized by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in 0.1% CH4 (H2 dilution) reaction gas were shaped in curly structures with the blocked nanoholes and closed caps. On the contrary, the carbon nanotubes with different structures could be obtained in oxygen loaded…
Single crystals of a pseudoquaternary Heusler alloy, Ni52Mn16Fe8Ga24, have now been synthesized. The substitution of Fe for Mn strengthens the magnetic exchange interactions, increasing the Curie temperature to 381 K. The Fe also increases the Ni magnetic moment to 0.41 μB relative to that in the stoichiometric Heusle…
Polycrystalline boron carbon nitride (BCN) films are synthesized at various temperatures by plasma-assisted chemical-vapor deposition. BCN films are characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and transmission electron diffraction. The dielectric constant is estimated from the…
Pure, selected samples of antigorite (#7 and #18, from Elba Island veins, Italy, with superperiodicities of 38 and 49 Angstrom, respectively) have been analyzed by Mossbauer and infrared spectroscopies. Mossbauer data indicate that most of the iron is present as ferrous iron (88.6% Fe2+ in #7 and 83.2% Fe2+ in #18). B…
Fast ultraviolet photoresponse is observed in ZnO thin films prepared by unbalanced magnetron sputtering. Films with a porous microstructure and a mixed (100), (002) and (101) crystallographic orientation exhibit photoresponse with good linearity and minimal aging effects. A fast rise time of 792 ms and a fall time of…
We have fabricated single-crystalline thin films of perovskite-type iron oxide SrFeO3 which include high valent iron (Fe4+). The fabrication is accomplished on the lattice-mismatched substrates of SrTiO3 [(STO), 1.4% tensile strain] and (LaAlO3)0.3(SrAl0.5Ta0.5O3)0.7 [(LSAT), 0.5% tensile strain] by pulsed-laser depos…
Ultrathin multilayer films consisting of the polyoxotungstoeuropate cluster K12[EuP5W30O110] (EuP5W30) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) have been prepared by the layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The (EuP5W30/PAH) multilayer films have been characterized by small-angle X-ray reflectivity measurements, X-ray…
Using the Landau–Ginzburg–Devonshire approach, the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient in an arbitrary direction, d33*(θ), was calculated as a function of temperature in tetragonal BaTiO3 crystals. The direction along which d33*(θ) is maximum is a function of piezoelectric dij coefficients referred to the crystallo…
A method to electronically modulate the energy gap and bandstructure of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is proposed. We investigate this bandstructure modulation mechanism using tight-binding and density functional theory (DFT). Results show that the energy gap of a semiconducting nanotube can be narrowed, when the tu…
Emission gain narrowing has been observed for single crystals of a thiophene/phenylene co-oligomer. The hexagon flake crystals were placed on a quartz substrate with the crystals’ face in close contact with the substrate plane. These crystals were irradiated with a N2 laser with a 337.1 nm wavelength at a repetition r…
The electrical conduction mechanism of (Ba0.5,Sr0.5)TiO3 (BST) as a function of the temperature was studied. Au/BST/Pt metal–insulator–metal capacitors were fabricated. The temperature range was from 300 to 423 K. The conduction current depended on the voltage polarity. At high electrical field (>800 kV/cm) and…
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) create an opportunity for the development of smaller, cheaper, and more precise biomedical instrumentation and devices. Little is known, however, about the hemocompatibility of the materials used to fabricate these devices. Because of the potentially harmful consequences of thromb…
By employing density-functional theory calculations we predict graphitic and tubular forms of silicon carbide (SiC) and proposes their synthesis. The present calculations suggest that the metastable SiC tubes can be synthesized by using a technique of extreme hole injection [J. M. Schön, Ch. Kloc, and B. Batlogg, Natu…
