We present a new formulation of the correlated electron-ion dynamics (CEID) scheme, which systematically improves Ehrenfest dynamics by including quantum fluctuations around the mean-field atomic trajectories. We show that the method can simulate models of non-adiabatic electronic transitions, and test it against exac…
In the present work we theoretically analyze the contribution from a transverse Fermi-liquid collective mode to the transmission of electromagnetic waves through a thin film of a clean metal in the presence of a strong external magnetic field. We show that at the appropriate Fermi surface geometry the transverse Fermi…
The structural environment of substitutional Cr3+ ion in a natural pyrope Mg3Al2Si3O12 has been investigated by Cr K-edge Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) and X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) coupled with first-principles computations. The Cr-O distance is close to that in knorringite Mg3Cr…
Semiconductor architectures hold promise for quantum information processing (QIP) applications due to their large industrial base and perceived scalability potential. Electron spins in silicon in particular may be an excellent architecture for QIP and also for spin electronics (spintronics) applications. While the cha…
Sericin has good hydrophilic properties, compatibility, and biodegradation, it can be used as a wound-healing agent. We evaluated the effects of sericin on wound healing and wound size reduction using rats by generating two full-thickness skin wounds on the dorsum. Group 1 animals were treated with Betadine on left-si…
We have designed and synthesized a series of modular ligands based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coupled with functional terminal groups to promote water-solubility and biocompatibility of quantum dots (QDs). Each ligand is comprised of three modules: a PEG single chain to promote hydrophilicity, a dihydrolipoic acid…
In this Feature Article, we examine recent advances in chemical analyte detection and optical imaging applications using gold and silver nanoparticles, with a primary focus on our own work. Noble metal nanoparticles have exciting physical and chemical properties that are entirely different from the bulk. For chemical…
We study the magnetic properties of nanometer-sized graphene structures with triangular and hexagonal shapes terminated by zigzag edges. We discuss how the shape of the island, the imbalance in the number of atoms belonging to the two graphene sublattices, the existence of zero-energy states, and the total and local m…
Abstract The bulk morphology of poly(1,4‐butadiene)– block –polystyrene– block –poly (ethylene oxide) (PB‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐PEO) and polyethylene– block –polystyrene– block –poly (ethylene oxide) (PE‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐PEO) triblock terpolymers is analyzed under a thermal protocol. This allows the investigation of the morphology dur…
Abstract Isothermal crystallization of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) blended with oligomeric poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) is investigated by polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry at various temperatures ( T c ). The growth rate of PBT spherulites is found to depend on time ( t ), as the…
Abstract Poly( p ‐dioxanone) with an inherent viscosity of over 1 dL/g has been synthesized using the cyclic tin alkoxide 1‐di‐ n ‐butyl‐1‐stanna‐2,5‐dioxacyclopentane as initiator. Poly( p ‐dioxanone) was synthesized in bulk and the results have been compared with polymerizations using tin (II) 2‐ethylhexanoate (Sn(O…
We demonstrate a time-of-flight electron energy analyzer that operates at an 80MHz repetition rate. The analyzer yields an energy resolution of 40meV for 3eV electrons. The energy resolution limit is dominated by the detector time (or temporal) resolution. With a currently available detector with a temporal resolution…
Abstract Well‐defined polyurethane–polydimethylsiloxane particles of tunable diameter in the range of 0.5–20 μm were synthesized in “one‐shot” by step‐growth polymerization using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) as a dispersant medium. Polymerizations were carried out at 60 °C and above 25 MPa, after the solubil…
Abstract Four novel A‐B condensation monomers containing an amine and a carboxylic acid function are described, along with their polymerization to give main chain aromatic poly(amide urea)s. The monomers, and the polymer structural unit, are N , N ′‐diphenylurea derivatives. When comparing wholly aromatic polyamides,…
The phase transition was electrically investigated in (100)-oriented BaTiO3 thin and thick films deposited on Si substrate using double alkoxide solutions. Changes of the dielectric constant as a function of temperature in the range of −200–200°C indicate that the transition from paraelectric to ferroelectric phase ta…
We calculated the energy variation due to the emergence of a new domain in barium titanate single crystal using equivalent inclusion method, and energy minimizing domain morphology and orientations have been identified. It is found that the energy difference between the charged and uncharged domain walls is relatively…
This study focuses on the fabrication of two nanodevice prototypes which utilized vertical and horizontal carbon nanotubes used the focused ion beam to localize the catalysts, followed by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. First, metal-gated carbon nanotube field emitter arrays were fabricated on multilayer su…
We report magnetic circular dichroism measurements on thin GaMnAs films with low Mn concentration, which reveal that exchange-induced spin splitting of the band edges occurs only in samples that show ferromagnetic order, and is not observed in paramagnetic samples. These results lead to the conclusion that Mn ions in…
X-ray porosimetry is used to characterize the porosity, the average film density, and the density of the wall material between the pores in ultralow-k films as a function of film thickness. These measurements are performed on films that have been plasma treated as well as plasma etched and an ashed to evaluate how the…
Abstract A supramolecular material containing quadruple hydrogen bonding sites was prepared by reacting the amines of methyl isocytosine and the epoxy groups of poly (ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether). This supramolecular polymer was complexed with metal salt, that is potassium iodide, to produce polymer electrolytes,…
