The effect of substitution of niobium for zirconium on tunable behavior of lead barium zirconate (PBZ) films was investigated. Lead barium zirconate niobate films were grown on Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrates using chemical solution deposition method. The substitution of Nb for Zr enhances tunable properties of PBZ films. Th…

Local environments surrounding Cd and S in CdS:O thin films have been determined using extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). As indicated by the Cd EXAFS, Cd atoms remain predominantly bonded with S. The S EXAFS and NEXAFS clearly demonstrate the prese…

The porosity of Ge films deposited by pulsed laser deposition in an inert gas atmosphere is observed to be directly correlated with the kinetic energy of ablated species. The deposition conditions were modified by varying the pressure and the target-substrate distance. The evolution of the kinetic energy of ablated sp…

The degradation dynamics of polyhydroxyalkanoates of different composition has been studied in an eutrophic storage reservoir for two seasons. It has been shown that the biodegradation of polymers under natural conditions depends not only on their structure and physicochemical properties but also, to a great extent, o…

3% and 5% Mn-doped GaN nanocrystals of different sizes, with the average diameters in the range of 4–18nm, have been prepared by two independent routes under solvothermal conditions starting with two different precursors. The reaction temperature was around 350°C in all the preparations. The nanocrystals so prepared e…

Abstract The crosslinking process of ethylene–octene copolymers by dicumyl peroxide (DCP) has been studied under static and dynamic conditions. Under static conditions, our results (gel time, insoluble fraction, and equilibrium modulus) qualitatively agree with the theories on the prediction of properties of random cr…

Cd Se ∕ Zn S core/shell quantum dots (QDs) were filled into porous alumina membranes (PAMs) by dip coating. The deposition of QDs induced changes in the refractive index of the PAMs. The amount of absorbed QDs was quantified by fitting the reflection and transmission spectra observed experimentally with one side open…

This thin-film deposition study of tetrahedral amorphous carbon shows that including infrequent processes on the millisecond scale substantially improves the accuracy of molecular dynamics simulations. Elevated temperature between energetic impacts is used to activate processes which are typically ignored. In agreemen…

Abstract A novel technology was developed to prepare microencapsulated red phosphorus (RP) with a coating of melamine cyanurate (MCA) serving as both a nitrogen‐containing flame retardant and as a solid lubrication agent. We took advantage of the self‐thickening effects during the MCA self‐assembly process to realize…

${\mathrm{C}}_{59}\mathrm{N}$ magnetic fullerenes were formed inside single-wall carbon nanotubes by vacuum annealing functionalized ${\mathrm{C}}_{59}\mathrm{N}$ molecules encapsulated inside the tubes. A hindered, anisotropic rotation of ${\mathrm{C}}_{59}\mathrm{N}$ was deduced from the temperature dependence of th…

An approach has been developed to produce CdTe films with a high proportion of the metastable wurtzite phase. It involves the use of pulsed laser deposition to produce CdTe nanoparticles which are then collected on a substrate. Electron microscopy indicates that the nanoparticles produced have a relatively minor fract…
