We calculated the lattice dynamics, the second-order nonlinear susceptibility, and the electro-optic response of the germanium dioxide in its α-quartz-type form (α-GeO 2 ) from first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. No theoretical or experimental investigations of these nonlinear optical pro…
Electronic defects and exciton traps were studied in yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) single crystals by wavelength and temperature resolved thermoluminescence (TL). Measurements were carried out from room temperature to 400 °C on a number of rare earth (RE) doped and undoped YAG crystals, and the trap parameters were de…
We have employed density functional theory to investigate the (110), (101), (100), and (001) surfaces of SnO2 within the pseudopotential, plane-wave method. Based on a thermodynamic defect model, the surface stabilities were evaluated as functions of oxygen partial pressure and temperature. Calculations showed that, b…
We have for the first time developed a self-aligned metal catalyst formation process using fully CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) compatible materials and techniques, for the synthesis of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). By employing an electrically conductive cobalt disilicide (CoSi2) layer as the start…
The optical and electronic structures of poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) blend with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (PVDF-HFP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in the same composition were investigated. Polymer coating was carried out using doctor blade technique on a glass substrate. Uv-vis and photoluminescenc…
( Ca , Dy ) co‐stabilized α‐Sialon with elongated grains was prepared from SiO 2 – AlN – CaF 2 – Dy 2 O 3 powders by carbothermal reduction‐nitridation ( CRN ) at 1700°C. Detailed investigations on the formation process of ( Ca , Dy )‐α‐Sialon elongated grains performed under various firing conditions revealed that th…
Graphene is of considerable interest as a next-generation semiconductor material to serve as a possible substitute for silicon. For real device applications with complete circuits, effective n-type graphene field effect transistors (FETs) capable of operating even under atmospheric conditions are necessary. In this st…
Recently, it was demonstrated that donor doping with Ti on the B-site significantly reduces the conductivity in Bi0.85Nd0.15FeO3 ceramics [Kalantari et al., Adv. Funct. Mater. 21, 3737 (2011)]. In this contribution, the phase transitions as a function of Nd concentration are investigated in 3% Ti doped Bi1-xNdxFeO3 ce…
Phasing by molecular replacement remains difficult for targets that are far from the search model or in situations where the crystal diffracts only weakly or to low resolution. Here, the process of determining and refining the structure of Cgl1109, a putative succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase from Corynebacterium…
Composites of magnetoresistive La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) with insulating Mn3O4 are useful as a model system because no foreign cation is introduced in the LCMO phase by interdiffusion during the heat treatment. Here we report the magnetotransport properties as a function of sintering temperature Tsinter for a fixed LCMO/M…
We report, synthesis and antifungal activities of CuO nanoparticles. Particles are prepared through sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction studies show the particles are monoclinic (crystalline) in nature. Scanning electron microscopic measurements are carried out to understand the morphology of the prepared particles. Ene…
The reactions of titanium monoxide and dioxide molecules with carbon dioxide were investigated by matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy. It was found that the titanium monoxide molecule is able to activate carbon dioxide to form the titanium dioxide-carbon monoxide complex upon visible light excitation via a weakly b…
SPACE (SPring-8 precise automatic cryo-sample exchanger) is an automated sample exchanger for cryo-cooled protein crystals, developed at SPring-8. Since the start of its operation, SPACE has been continuously improved and upgraded to cope with the requirements of new beamlines and users. One important upgrade of SPACE…
The primary excited state decay and energy transfer processes in singly Tm3+-doped TeO2:ZnO:Bi2O3:GeO2 (TZBG) glass relating to the 3F4 → 3H6 ∼1.85 μm laser transition have been investigated in detail using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Selective laser excitation of the 3H4 manifold at 794 nm, the 3H5 manif…
The effect of Bi excess (0 to 15%) and subsequently Mn doping (0 to 20%) on the structural, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties of BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films deposited by chemical solution deposition technique on low cost substrates are reported in the present work. No significant changes in crystallographic structure…
By correlating the effects of substrate temperature, oxygen pressure and laser energy on the electrical and microstructural properties of Ag-doped ZnO films grown on a sapphire (0001) substrate, p-type conductivity is achieved under various substrate temperatures in the wide range of 250-750 °C. All of the samples wer…
Fast response time is the most attractive feature of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (PS-BPLCs). We have investigated the dynamic response of a PS-BPLC under various electric fields and found that the response time becomes slower as the applied electric field exceeds a critical field. Further analyses of…
Half-metallicity in carbon nanotubes is achieved and controlled by hydrogen adsorption patterns. The edge states in carbon nanotubes are unstable under an electric field due to the spin-conserving electron transfer between the edges, but a large enough transfer barrier between the edge states, obtained by controlling…
A systematic investigation on the optical properties of N-doped ZnO thin films was performed in order to understand the origin of an additional Raman mode at 275 cm−1. This Raman peak was observable only at N2 pressures lower than 30 Pa during pulsed laser deposition. Its intensity decreased with an increase of N2 pre…
Phosphorus-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (P-MWNTs) have been successfully synthesized by spray pyrolysis methods using a solution of ferrocene and triphenylphosphine in toluene. Electron microscopy images reveal corrugated tubes with a special morphology, similar to a carbon necklace. P-MWNTs are shorter compared…
