An infrared study of the phonon spectra of ZrW2O8 as a function of temperature which includes the low-energy (2-10 meV) region relevant to negative thermal expansion is reported and discussed in the context of specific heat and neutron density of state results. The prevalence of infrared active phonons at low energy a…
The electronic breakdown and the bias dependence of the conductance have been investigated for a large number of catalytic chemical vapor deposition grown single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with very small diameters. The convenient fabrication of thousands of properly contacted SWCNTs was possible by growth on el…
Artificial superlattices designed with a ferromagnetic Pr0.85Ca0.15MnO3 insulating layer and ferroelectric Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 layer were grown on (100) SrTiO3 substrates. The magnetotransport properties were measured with the current perpendicular to the plane geometry. An increase in magnetoresistance (MR), with no signi…
This paper presents findings from a study of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) growth in a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor. NCD films were grown using Ar∕H2∕CH4 and He∕H2∕CH4 gas compositions. The resulting films were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force…
We show that magnetization damping in Permalloy, Ni80Fe20, can be enhanced sufficiently to reduce postswitching magnetization precession to an acceptable level by alloying with the transition metal Os (osmium). The damping increases monotonically upon raising the Os concentration in Permalloy, at least up to 9% of Os.…
The magnetic and electrical properties of high-quality single crystals of $A$-site disordered (solid solution) ${\mathrm{L}\mathrm{n}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{a}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ are investigated near the phase boundary between the spin-glass insulator and colossal-magnetoresistive ferromagn…
The localized surface plasmon resonance of nanostructures is shown to exhibit a singularity when the surrounding medium exhibits amplification with a critical value of gain. This singularity can lead to large enhancements even when the gain is saturated. This composite medium should exhibit strong scattering within th…
In this letter, elastic properties of highly anisotropic cellular poly(propylene) films are reported. The material shows peculiar elastic properties compared to other foams in the literature. The data is displayed as the relative Young's modulus $E^*/E_s$ versus relative density $ρ^*/ρ_s$. Almost all the data from the…
A density-functional study of the alternatively-deflected zigzag structure for the beta-phase of poly(vinylidene fluoride) or (-CH2-CF2-)n is presented. Structure, polarization and effective charges have been determined. Using lattice constants and atomic positions transformed from experiment, the space group for the…
The models of endofullerenes C60 and C82 with silver atom or diatomic silver are calculated with ab initio SCF Hartree-Fock methods including the full geometry optimization. Ag@C60 is a bound system with positive binding energy while Ag2@C60 is not because strong geometrical strain. Silver atom is located at some dist…
We describe here in detail the recently introduced methodology for simulation of structural transitions in crystals. The applications of the new scheme are illustrated on various kinds of crystals and the advantages with respect to previous schemes are emphasized. The relevance of the new method for the problem of cry…
In this paper theoretical and statistical/experimental criteria for determining the nanoscale strength of materials are proposed. In particular, quantized criteria in fracture mechanics, dynamic fracture mechanics and fatigue, as well as an experimental indirect observation of the nanoscale strength, are proposed. The…
High frequency [1-500 MHz] measurements of the Magneto-Impedance (MI) of glass-covered Co$_{69.4}$Fe$_{3.7}$B$_{15.9}$Si$_{11}$ microwires are carried out with various metal-to-wire diameter ratios. A twin-peak, anhysteretic behaviour is observed as a function of magnetic field. A maximum in $ΔZ/Z$ appears at differen…
Electronic structures of multiferroic RMnO$_3$ (R=Y, Er) have been investigated by employing photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). We have found that Mn ions in RMnO$_3$ are in the trivalent high-spin state with the total spin of S=2. The occupied Mn ($d_{xz} - d_{yz}$) states lie d…
A perturbation method deals with dipolar coupling spins in solids is presented. As examples of the application the method, the multile-quantum coherence dynamics in clusters of a linear chain of four nuclear spins and a ring of six spins coupled by dipole-dipole interaction are considered. The calculated 0Q- and 2Q in…
We present a numerical method to model electric field sensitive scanning probe microscopy measurements which allows for a tip of arbtrary shape and invokes image charges to exactly account for a sample dielectric overlayer. The method is applied to calculate the spatial resolution of a subsurface charge accumulation i…
Deformation twins (DTs) in nanocrystalline (nc) Al were both predicted by atomic simulations, and observed experimentally. However, despite encouraging preliminary results, their formation mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we present an analytical model, based on classical dislocation theory, to explain the nu…
A series of ZnO1−xSx films with 0⩽x⩽1.0 was deposited by radio-frequency reactive sputtering on different substrates. The structural characterization by x-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the films have wurtzite symmetry and correlated investigations of the layer composition by photoelectron spectroscopy sho…
Abstract The electrospinning of polyglycolide (PGA), poly( L ‐lactide) (PLA), and poly(lactide‐ co ‐glycolide) (PLGA; L ‐lactide/glycolide = 50/50) was performed with chloroform or 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol (HFIP) as a spinning solvent to fabricate their nanofiber matrices. The morphology of the electrospun PG…
Ordered, mesoporous cobalt oxide was synthesized via a nanocasting pathway from organically modified large-pore Ia3d silica. A replica structure could be obtained, which shows weak magnetic ordering at low temperatures due to the small size of the individual Co3O4 domains forming the mesostructure.
