Lattice deformations of InAs self-assembled quantum dots, which were grown on (001) GaAs substrates and embedded in GaNAs strain compensating layers (SCLs), were examined with an ion-channeling method in Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The channeling experiments demonstrated that the increase of the nitrogen c…
Electronic structure and cohesive properties of metastable hexagonal AgB_{2} and silver-deficient borides Ag_{0.875}B_{2} and Ag_{0.750}B_{2} were investigated by means of the projected augmented wave method in the framework of the density functional theory (VASP package). We found that the density of states at the Fe…
The development of stabilization and solidification techniques in the field of waste treatment reflects the efforts to better protect human health and the environment with modern advances in materials and technology. Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes provides comprehensive in…
Erbium-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Er3+) up-conversion phosphors were attached to the rear of a bifacial silicon solar cell to enhance its reponsivity in the near-infrared. The incident wavelength and light intensity were varied and the resulting short circuit current of the solar cell was measured. A close m…
Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes have attracted the attention of many a scientist around the world. This extraordinary interest stems from their outstanding structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. In fact, apart from being the best and most easily available one-dimensional (1D) model system, carbon n…
Abstract The thermal stability of a SiN x passivation layer and its influence on the annealing behavior of an amorphous Ta 73 Si 27 diffusion barrier deposited between copper and SiO 2 were analyzed by X‐ray diffraction, glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning electron micro…
Abstract The crystal structure of the α‐CsB 5 O 8 high‐temperature modification has been refined by single crystal X‐Ray diffraction at 20, 300, and 500 °C. The structure is based on the zigzag boron‐oxygen layers built up from rigid <2Δ□>‐<2Δ□> pentaborate groups. Cs atoms are located in large cavities of…
Reducing thickness of ferroelectric films typically comes with an apparent degradation of their ferroelectric and dielectric properties. The existence of low-dielectric interfacial layers is often invoked to explain such behaviors. Much work has been done on modeling ferroelectric thin films by considering a ferroelec…
SAC (symmetry adapted cluster)/SAC-CI and CASPT2 (multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory) electron excitation spectra of free-base porphin and magnesium-porphin were determined using basis set functions augmented by both the polarization and diffuse functions-6-31+G(d). Such basis is recommended for cor…
The structural and thermal properties of potassium nitrate (KNO3): polyvinylidene fluoride composite films have been studied. Differential scanning calorimetry has been employed to characterize the phase transitions in the composite and x-ray diffraction has been used to quantify the crystalline phases. The ferroelect…
Effects of 1:1 B-cation ordering on Raman spectra were analyzed for a double-perovskite CaAl0.5Nb0.5O3 substituted with 5mol% CaTiO3. Raman measurements were conducted on a series of well-equilibrated polycrystalline samples quenched from various annealing temperatures to produce a broad range of a cation order parame…
We present results from phase-field simulations of a two-dimensional model of dislocation microstructure development under increasing strain that incorporates the effects of the full, three-dimensional, microstructure in an approximate way. Despite its simplicity, the model yields quantitative predictions of both the…
Neutron studies of the effect of A-site chemical disorder on the ferromagnetic transition and spin dynamics for the magnetoresistive perovskite La0.54Ba0.46MnO3 are reported. The low temperature spin waves reveal that disorder reduces exchange interactions by only 9%. The development of a quasielastic peak in the spec…
Highly ordered two-dimensional arrays of monodisperse coinage metal nanowires embedded in an alumina matrix have been prepared. When light is propagating in the direction of the long axis of the nanowire, plasmon-enhanced absorption and light guidance of the nanowire were observed by optical microspectroscopy and scan…
Abstract The results of X‐ray structural analysis, in situ powder high temperature X‐ray diffraction (HTXRD), DTA and annealing studies are summarized to refine the phase equilibria in the Rb 2 O‐B 2 O 3 system in air. Samples were prepared by solid state reaction as well as by the crystallisation of glasses. Investig…
Faujasite type zeolite CBV-780 was tested as adsorbent for isotactic polypropylene by liquid chromatography. When cyclohexane, cyclohexanol, n-decanol, n-dodecanol, diphenylmethane, or methylcyclohexane was used as mobile phase, polypropylene was fully or partially retained within the column packing. This is the first…
The initial growth mode of indium tin oxide (ITO) on polycarbonate (PC) substrates was investigated. Some of the PC substrates were bombarded by 1-keV Ar ions in an oxygen environment to modify the substrate surface before ITO sputter deposition. The initial part of the film growth was transformed from a three-dimensi…
A spectral switcher based on the Yb3+-doped Nd3BWO9 crystal has been demonstrated. This system switches its main luminescence peak from 980nm (the characteristic luminescence of Yb3+ ions) to 1060nm (the characteristic luminescence of Nd3+ ions) as the 808nm pump intensity is increased from 0.4 up to 0.8kW∕cm2. The op…
Hysteresis loops of the piezoelectric coefficient, d33=f(E3), are measured on virgin and fatigued lead zirconate titanate ceramics. Four parameters are directly extracted from the measurements: internal bias field Eb, offset piezoelectric coefficient doffset, coercive field Ec, and remnant piezoelectric coefficient dr…
We report here on an in situ experimental analysis of the growth processes of tin dioxide nanoparticles (with mean particle radius of less than 5nm) and the oriented attachment of these particles onto SnO2 nanobelts, used as single crystalline substrates, through electron irradiation by transmission electron microscop…
