Silicon nanocrystals embedded in a silicon oxide matrix were deposited by radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering. By means of Raman spectroscopy, we have found that a compressive stress is exerted on the silicon nanocrystal cores. The stress varies as a function of silicon concentration in the silicon-rich sili…

Thin films of the M-type hexaferrite, BaFe10.2Sc1.8O19, have been grown on Al2O3 (00.1) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Post-deposition annealing improves the structural quality and produces completely relaxed thin films. The post-annealed films show magnetic behavior corresponding to a conical magnetic structu…

Monochiral single-walled carbon nanotubes have many potential uses, especially in the field of electronics and medical applications. Here we demonstrate a method to activate three types of Co/SiO(2) catalysts via sulfur-doping for the synthesis of tubes with a narrow chiral distribution around (9,8) chirality.

The dissolution of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) remains a fundamental challenge, reliant on aggressive chemistry or ultrasonication and lengthy ultracentrifugation. In contrast, simple nonaqueous electrochemical reduction leads to spontaneous dissolution of individualized SWCNTs from raw, unprocessed powder…

White emission produced by Ti-doped MgAl2O4 phosphor powder is reported, which is in contrast to blue emission from most Ti-doped single crystals of MgAl2O4. The white emission peak consists of four deconvoluted peaks: 440, 490, 550, and 620 nm, when was excited by 260 nm wavelength. Ti4+ in octahedral sites was found…

A melt fluxing technique has been used to undercool Ag-Cu eutectic alloy by 10–70 K and the subsequent recalescence has been studied using high speed imaging. Spasmodic growth of the solidification front was observed, in which the growth front would make a series of quasi-periodic jumps separated by extended periods d…

We report on the electrical injection and detection of spin accumulation in trilayer-graphene/MgO/Permalloy lateral spin-valve (LSV) structure. Non-local spin valve signal is clearly observed in the LSV, indicating that spin coherence extends underneath all ferromagnetic contacts. We also show that low-resistivity gra…
