Artificial metamaterials made to date are all periodic in structure. Here we show that by randomizing contour patterns deposited lithographically on circuit board materials, a metamaterial characterized by a constitutive relation with negative constitutive parameters is produced in solid-state form. We clearly demonst…
A photovoltaic diode using tungsten carbide (WC) Schottky contact for deep ultraviolet (DUV) light detection is developed using a lightly boron-doped homoepitaxial diamond layer. The photodiode shows a quick dc response time lower than an instrumental time constant of 0.3 s. The responsivity varies linearly with the D…
Abstract Summary: An ideal scaffold design has a nanofibrous structure that can replace the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) until host cells can repopulate and resynthesize a new natural matrix. In this study, chitosan (CS)‐poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) nanofibers with diameters that range from 50 to 150 nm are synthesi…
Abstract Summary: PVA and PA‐66 nanocomposite fibers with montmorillonite were prepared by electrospinning. Mixing of the components was conducted in two ways: polymer and montmorillonite were mixed with solvent, or monomer was polymerized in the presence of montmorillonite and was then dissolved in a solvent. Polymer…
Abstract Summary: Linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)/clay nanocomposites are obtained and studied by using a zinc‐neutralized carboxylate ionomer as a compatibilizer. LLDPE‐ g ‐MA is used as a reference compatibilizer. Two different clays, natural montmorillonite (Closite Na + ) and a chemically modified clay Clo…
Abstract Summary: Copper/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocables have been successfully obtained by electrospinning a PVA‐protected copper nanoparticle solution. The molar ratio of copper ions to PVA (in terms of VA repeating units) plays an important role in the formation of copper/PVA nanocables. The average diameter o…
CdS nanocrystals have been synthesized based on low-temperature thermolysis of one single-source organometallic precursor in noncoordinating (ethanol) or coordinating (oleic acid) solvent. The organometallic precursor was prepared by using cadmium chloride, thiourea and sodium hydroxide in ethanol solution. The produc…
We report the synthesis and characterization of colloidal nanocrystals consisting of ZnO doped with Tb 3+ cations. Introducing the Tb 3+ cations in ZnO nanosized hosts led to photoluminescent systems whose wavelength emission depends on the excitation line. Chemical surface modification of the doped ZnO nanocrystals a…
A simple method has been demonstrated for the synthesis of single-crystal and controllable sized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) homogeneously distributed on the surfaces of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibres via electrospinning followed by UV irradiation. Keeping the concentration of PAN at 7 wt%, the diameters of the…
The elastic constants of polycrystalline Cu6Sn5—an intermetallic in lead-free alternatives of several material systems—are presented. The results are obtained by applying: (i) Reported crystallographic structure of monoclinic single crystal Cu6Sn5, (ii) structure optimization and determination of single crystal elasti…
By thermally heating a nickel foil in a vacuum of ∼5×10−2Torr, films consisting of vertically aligned cone-shaped NiO microrods were deposited on Si (001) substrates at a temperature of <300°C. The NiO rods were grown along ⟨001⟩ directions by stacking the NiO (001) nanoslices, and are ∼10μm long with a sharp n…
ZnO microtubes with adjustable arrayed nanopores on the walls are prepared by using butterfly wing scales as natural biotemplates. Flat butterfly wing scales used as templates rolled into tubes during the calcinations; all the windows on the scales were reserved and formed porous walls. Furthermore the density of the…
We investigate hysteresis effects in a model for nonvolatile memory devices. Two mechanisms are found to produce hysteresis effects qualitatively similar to those often experimentally observed in heterostructures of transition metal oxides. One of them is a switching effect based on a metal-insulator transition due to…
We demonstrate the synthesis of nanoporous Pt thin films on Si by electrochemical dealloying. Amorphous PtxSi1−x films (∼100–250nm thick) are formed by electron beam codeposition and dealloyed in aqueous HF solutions at an electrochemical potential sufficient to selectively remove Si while allowing self-assembly of Pt…
Epitaxial growth of β-Ga2O3 thin films by the rf-plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy technique is demonstrated. Growth on (1 0 0) β-Ga2O3 substrates leads to very smooth epilayers, while (2 0 1¯) and (1 0 0) oriented β-Ga2O3 films are obtained on (0 0 1) sapphire and (1 0 0) MgO substrates, respectively. Internal t…
This letter reports a high energy density piezoelectric material in the system given as: Pb[(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3]1−x[(Zn1∕3Nb2∕3)O3]x+yMnCO3, where x=0.1 and y varies from 0.5to0.9wt%. A piezoelectric material with high energy density is characterized by a high product of piezoelectric voltage constant (g) and piezoelectr…
To optimize the field emission behavior of the ZnO nanorods, postthermal annealing in different ambience was conducted. The field emission properties of the ZnO nanorods are considerably improved after annealing in oxygen and getting worse when annealing in air or ammonia. Photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy were…
The metal-insulator transition temperature in colossal magnetoresistance manganites has been altered and brought close to the room temperature by preparing La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO)∕Nd0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (NSMO) multilayers with ultrathin individual layers of LSMO and NSMO. The LSMO/NSMO multilayers with ultrathin individual…
Immiscible biopolymers of gelatin (Gt) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were first electrospun into a biomimicking composite fibre of Gt/PCL. Based on a phase separation study of the electrospun fibres, a leaching method was employed to generate 3D porous nanofibres by selectively removing the water soluble component of gel…
The cyclotron-resonance peak which has been observed [G. A. Baraff et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 22, 590 (1969) ] in potassium in a magnetic field directed perpendicular to the surface may be due to an effect of zero-curvature points of the Fermi surface on the cyclotron orbit of effective electrons.
