Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in single crystals of para-sexiphenyl grown in the β phase by vapor transport is demonstrated upon photoexcitation at 355nm. Excitation with femtosecond laser pulses leads to dual wavelength ASE at 427 and 450nm, while excitation with nanosecond laser pulses leads to ASE only at 45…

The light-emitting diode of p-ZnO∕n-GaAs heterojunction was grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The p-ZnO films have been formed by the doping As atoms which diffuse into ZnO film from GaAs substrate. The p-type behavior of As-doped ZnO films based on As-doped p-ZnO∕n-GaAs, p-ZnO∕p-GaAs heterojunction wa…

A poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiopene) (PEDOT)/polyaniline (PANI) electrochromic device (ECD) was fabricated for the purpose of examining colouration efficiency (CE) as a function of charge density ingress/egress. CE is typically measured in cm2/C with the aim being to produce as large an optical density change as possible…

Zn 0.96 Mn 0.04 O and Zn0.96Mn0.04O:N thin films with wurtzite structure were grown by inductively coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Although both samples exhibit ferromagnetism at room temperature, the saturation magnetic moment (1.4μB∕Mn) of the Mn- and N-codoped sample is much larger than th…

We report on new instabilities of the quasistatic equilibrium of water drops pinned by a hydrophobic inclined substrate. The contact line of a statically pinned drop exhibits three transitions of partial depinning: depinning of the advancing and receding parts of the contact line and depinning of the entire contact li…

An efficient exploration of the configuration space of a biopolymer is essential for its structure modeling and prediction. In this study, the authors propose a new Monte Carlo method, fragment regrowth via energy-guided sequential sampling (FRESS), which incorporates the idea of multigrid Monte Carlo into the framewo…

Substrate-based catalytic growth modes have been widely used to fabricate vertically aligned nanowires for most technologically relevant semiconducting systems, with CdTe being a notable exception. The catalysts that promote a one-dimensional nanoscale growth mode in other systems seem to fail, creating the need for a…

The existing controversy about the room temperature structure of multiferroic Pb(Fe1∕2Nb1∕2)O3 is settled using synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction data. Results of Rietveld refinements in the temperature range of 300–12K reveal that the structure remains monoclinic in the Cm space group down to 12K, but the lattice…

The phenomenology of the laboratory glass transition is examined in the enthalpy landscape framework. It is shown that a generic description of the glassy state based on partitioning of the phase space caused by the finiteness of the time of observation explains all universal features of glass transition. Using this d…
