Scandium (Sc) contacted n-type carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effected transistors (FETs) with back and top-gate structure have been fabricated, and their stability in air were investigated. It was shown that oxygen and water molecules may affect both the nanotube channel and Sc/nanotube contacts, leading to deteriorated…

Strain engineering, which employs biaxial misfit strain to deform the crystal structure, is a powerful tool to tune the physical behavior of epitaxial thin films. Here we show that a 10-nm-thick BiFeO${}_{3}$ film is uniaxially strained by (110)-oriented LaAlO${}_{3}$ substrate, which exhibits a monoclinic lattice wit…

The self-organization of ferroelectric columnar liquid crystals (FCLCs) is demonstrated. Columnar order is spontaneously formed in thin films made by the wet-process due to its liquid crystallinity. Electric-field application results in high optical quality and uniform spontaneous polarization. Such good processabilit…

ABSTRACT This work reports the study of the effect of chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes on their dispersion in poly(lactic acid). The nanotubes were functionalized by the 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction, generating pyrrolidine groups at the nanotube surface. Further reaction of the pyrrolidine groups w…

Polymer films that respond to a variety of stimuli are attractive candidates for location-specific guest molecule delivery. These systems release the guest molecules by polymer erosion; thus, these are mono-use systems. If a polymer film is used to disassemble amphiphilic assemblies containing sequestered guest molecu…
