Tunneling times in absorptive and dispersive media are considered, as are the relations between them. Group delay and dwell time are used as the most appropriate tunneling time characterizations. A general expression that relates these two quantities, valid for all linear media (with both positive and negative index o…

One of the most attractive features of diamond is its robust p -type surface conductivity that develops spontaneously under atmospheric conditions on hydrogen-terminated samples. An electrochemical charge transfer between diamond and an air-borne redox couple has been suggested to be responsible for the spontaneous ap…

We report here the selective formation of nanosized cavities on barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) nanocubes through a simple acid etching route in hydrothermal environment. Microstructural analysis reveals that the etching process is size dependent with small cavity preferentially formed on the nanocubes greater than a chara…

We present a detailed investigation into the origin of photoluminescence (PL) from silicon quantum dots in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride annealed in oxygen ambient. On the basis of structural characterization, temperature-dependent PL, time-resolved PL, and PL excitation spectra, we identify that the luminesc…

Abstract The thermal oxidation at 130°C of polyoxymethylene homopolymer (H) and copolymer (C) samples of close initial molar masses has been studied by gravimetry, rheometry, X ray scattering, and tensile testing. Both samples undergo random chain scission and depolymerization. Their crystallinity ratio increases, whe…

Abstract Commercial sunflower oil was epoxidized, and epoxidized sunflower oil (ESO) was used as a thermal stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Semirigid and plasticized formulations stabilized with ESO were realized. Three plasticizers were used: dioctyle phthalate (DOP), diisodecycle phthalate (DIDP), and diison…

Electronic localization is numerically studied in disordered bilayer graphene with an electric-field-induced energy gap. Bilayer graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, in which an energy gap can be opened and controlled by an external electric field perpendicular to the layer plane. We found that, in the smooth disorde…

Abstract Sm‐doped ZnWO 4 powders and films have been prepared with wet chemical methods. XRD analysis indicated that single‐phase Sm‐doped ZnWO 4 were formed above a calcining temperature of 400 °C, and the particle size and intensity of XRD peak of the powders were varied with calcining schedules. SEM micrographs ind…

This study provides kinetic and isotopic evidence for the identity and kinetic relevance of elementary steps in CH 3 OH−H 2 O reactions on monofunctional Cu-based catalysts. H 2, CO 2, and CO were the only products formed in these reactions, which proceed via kinetically relevant C−H bond activation in chemisorbed met…

Magnetic and dielectric correlation in triangular mixed valence iron oxide RFe2O4 is discussed. The frustrated interaction for antiferromagnetic spins as well as charges realizes the auto-organized superlattice cell of iron ions. The characteristic charge and spin superlattice cell drives the magnetoelectric cross-cor…
