The dielectric response of epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films deposited on MgO was measured through surface electrodes as a function of applied bias, frequency, and temperature. The room temperature value of the dielectric constant was ∼500 with a dissipation factor, tan(δ), of 0.05 at 100 kHz. Measurements varying the bias…

An alternative approach to the synthesis of mono-sized and parallel-aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNs) is reported. The SWCNs are formed in 0.73 nm sized channels of microporous aluminophosphate crystallites by pyrolysis of tripropylamine molecules in the channels. They are characterized through transmission…

Applying a Keldysh Green`s function method it is shown that hot electrons injected from a STM-tip into a CoSi${}_2$/Si(111) system form a highly focused beam due to the silicide band structure. This explains the atomic resolution obtained in recent Ballistic Electron Emission Microscopy (BEEM) experiments. Localized s…

We observe that the temperature coefficients of electron-hole pair energies $(dE/dT)$ in PbS and PbSe quantum dots depend strongly on the size of the quantum dot. With decreasing size the temperature coefficient of the lowest electron-hole pair energy ${\mathrm{dE}}_{g}/dT$ decreases by more than an order of magnitude…

Volume and enthalpy relaxation in glassy materials subjected to a temperature jump Δ T = T 0 − T can conveniently be compared on the basis of the fictive relaxation rate R f = −(d T f /d log t ) i . It has been shown that within the current phenomenological model, involving the stretched exponential relaxation functio…
