Iron substituted barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) has been found to exhibit both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature [Xu et al., Phys. Rev. B 79, 134109 (2009)]. However, ferroelectric properties of Fe-doped BT are not as pronounced as those of pure BT. It happens because iron doping causes hexago…

Zinc oxide is typically used as an electron acceptor in the preparation of hybrid solar cells. Such hybrids are, in many cases, synthesized from solutions. In this work, we investigate the possible persistence of solvent tetrahydrofuran molecules at the interface with zinc oxide by means of atomistic simulations based…

( Na 0.5 K 0.5 ) NbO 3 is doping with ZnO and CuO , respectively, ( NKNZ x and NKNC x , where x = 0–1 mol%) using a two‐step calcination process ( BO method). The X ‐ray diffraction profiles of NKNZ x ceramics show a few secondary phases because Zn 2+ ions cannot substitute Nb 5+ ions. Moreover, the binding energies o…

Electrical transport properties of onion-like carbon (OLC) based composites over a wide (20 Hz–4 THz) frequency range are reported. The dependencies of dc conductivity on temperature can be approximated by the Mott law for one-dimensional variable range hopping below 130 K and by the typical law for fluctuation induce…

Abstract— A reflective polarizer‐free display using dye‐doped polymer‐stabilized blue‐phase liquid crystal (DDPSBP‐LC) has been demonstrated. The mechanism is a combination of electrically tunable light absorption and Bragg reflection. In this paper, the influence of light absorption in DDPSBP‐LC by changing the dye c…

Mg-M-O solid solution films (M = Mg, Al, Cr, Ti, Zr, and Y) with various M contents are grown employing reactive co-sputtering by varying the target-to-substrate distance. It is shown that all films are biaxially aligned. When the two cathodes are equipped with the same target material (Mg), the in-plane alignment is…

The majority of species belonging to the genus Nitzschia are distinguished by minute taxonomic features that are difficult to observe and document. Currently, geographical distributions for many species are recognized as cosmopolitan; in contrast endemic species are poorly documented and studied. Our study describes t…

One hundred-eighteen surface soil samples (59 samples from cultivated areas and 59 samples from virgin soils) were studied to ascertain if potassium (K) quantity-intensity (Q/I) parameters of the soils are being changed by long-term sugar beet cropping. Long-term cultivation resulted in a significant decline in the eq…

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) was used to measure local differential conductance (dI/dV) spectra on nanometer-size graphene islands on an Ir(111) surface. Energy resolved dI/dV maps clearly show a spatial modulation, which we ascribe to a modulated local density of states due to quantum confinement. STS near g…
