We discuss the formation of a Si/Ge-superlattice (SL) generated by molecular beam epitaxy. Specific growth parameter were chosen to optimize the periodic structure of vertically stacked Ge islands. Optimized SLs show a strong photoluminescence at a wavelength in the region of 1.55 μm up to room temperature. The lumine…

We study the core structure and determine the Peierls stress (PS) of dissociated ½ ⟨110⟩ dislocations in FCC nickel by atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, using an EAM potential. Different pictures for the behaviour of edge and screw dislocations of this type emerge from the results of the simulations. On the on…

Abstract Nylon‐66 nanocomposites were prepared by melt‐compounding nylon‐66 with organically modified montmorillonite (MMT). The organic MMT layers were exfoliated in a nylon‐66 matrix as confirmed by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of MMT layers increased the cry…

Abstract Effects of three different plasticizers and their blends with dioctyl phthalate (DOP) on thermal stability, flammability, mechanical, electrical, and permanence properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) compound were studied. Various plasticizers used were DOP, butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), isodecyl diphenyl p…

1‐phenyl 5‐mercarpto 1,2,3,4‐tetrazole (PMT) was tested as an inhibitor for the corrosion of steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 and 1/3 M H 3 PO 4 by weight‐loss and electrochemical methods. Results obtained showed that the inhibition efficiency of PMT increased with the increase of inhibitor concentration and reached an optimum…

High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has been performed on a layered transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) $1T\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{VSe}}_{2}$ to study the $(4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4)$ charge-density wave (CDW) mechanism. We observed a partial Fermi-surface (FS) nesting on th…

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) was investigated as a function of the concentration of sp2 hybridization. The CTE, determined using the thermally induced bending technique, depends on the concentration of sp2 bonded carbon, increasing to the value of graphite as the…

Parallel-plate Ba0.25Sr0.75TiO3 (BST) varactors with a record high Q factor are fabricated on Si substrate. At 45 GHz the Q factor is about 40, and the tuneability at 25 V is more than 40% in the measured frequency range 0.045–45 GHz. The improvement in the Q factor is achieved by using a thick bottom electrode consis…

We show that the yield strength for Cu with ultrafine grain sizes becomes obviously temperature and strain-rate dependent, in contrast to the temperature/rate insensitive behavior of conventional face-centered-cubic metals. A thermally activated deformation mechanism is operative at room temperature and especially at…

Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/clay nanocomposites were synthesized using the solution intercalation method. Na ion‐exchanged clays [Na + –saponite (SPT) and Na + –montmorillonite (MMT)] and alkyl ammonium ion‐exchanged clays (C 12 –MMT and C 12 OOH–MMT) were used for the PVA nanocomposites. From the morphological…

Basic ideas and results which characterize quantum diffusion of defects in quantum crystals like solid helium as a new phenomenon are presented. Quantum effects in such media lead to a delocalization of point defects (vacancies, impurities etc.) and they turn into quasiparticles of a new type -- defectons, which are c…

Pure rutile Co-doped TiO2 films were fabricated by the pulsed-laser-deposition technique on silicon substrates from a ceramic target. Under the right fabrication conditions, Co concentration in the films could be almost the same as in the target, and films under various conditions all are ferromagnetic well above room…

Using a first-principles approach based on density-functional theory, we find that a large tetragonal strain can be induced in ${\mathrm{PbTiO}}_{3}$ by application of a negative hydrostatic pressure. The structural parameters and the dielectric and dynamical properties are found to change abruptly near a crossover pr…
