Over the last two decades, several methods, of increasing sophistication, have evolved to measure boundary plane orientation by electron backscatter diffraction. Originally, metallographic sectioning was used to obtain the location of the boundary plane. The most recently designed approach allows the relative frequenc…

We report on the contribution of optical phonon decay into acoustic phonon to the thermal conductivity [k(T)] of semiconductors. We have considered this mechanism as an acoustic phonon generation rate within the full modified Callaway theory to accurately describe experimental data of k(T) for Ge as a function of isot…

A focused ion beam (FIB) is used to sequentially reduce the contact length of an evaporated metal film to a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). By using this FIB contact cutback technique, the contact resistance between an individual MWCNT and evaporated thin films of Au, Au∕Ti, and Ag are accurately determined. The…

Abstract Monodispersed zinc oxide (ZnO) whiskers with different aspect ratios were successfully prepared via a simple solution route at low temperature. It is found that the diameter and aspect ratio of ZnO whiskers depend critically on the structure and type of ionic surfactant added in the reaction solution. To furt…
