The magnetic state in LaCoO3 changes from the low spin state (S=0) to the mixed state with a thermally excited intermediate spin state (IS) (S=1) above about 50 K. The partially filled e(g) orbital in the IS state has a nature of Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion. The cooperative JT distortion causes an orbital order. We fo…
It has been found that ring-type magnetoelectric laminate composites of circumferentially magnetized magnetostrictive TERFENOL-D and a circumferentially poled piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 have high sensitivity to a vortex magnetic field. At room temperature, an induced output voltage from this ring laminate exhibited a n…
High-density and uniform-sized gold particle arrays have been prepared electrochemically on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The gold particles were used as catalysts to synthesize ZnS nanowires. The as-grown nanowires had a wurtzite single-crystal structure and were aligned perpendicularly to the AAO template.…
We observe a strong dependence of the exciton spin relaxation in CdTe quantum dots on the average dot size and the depth of the confining potential. For the excitons confined to the as-grown CdTe quantum dots we find the spin relaxation time to be 4.8 ns. After rapid thermal annealing, which increases the average dot…
It was found that high current density needed for the current-driven domain wall motion results in the Joule heating of the sample. The sample temperature, when the current-driven domain wall motion occurred, was estimated by measuring the sample resistance during the application of a pulsed-current. The sample temper…
We propose a new microscopic model for the $\{001\}$ planar defects in diamond commonly called platelets. This model is based on the formation of a metastable stacking fault, which can occur because of the ability of carbon to stabilize in different bonding configurations. In our model the core of the planar defect is…
Eukaryotes, such as fungi, can be harmful pathogen agents, and the control of their bioactivity is critical as humans are eukaryote organisms, too. Here, copper∕polymer nanocomposites are proposed as antifungal spinnable coatings with controlled copper-releasing properties. The tests of the bioactivity show that funga…
We propose new methodologies for stabilizing all-metal antiaromatic clusters like: Al$_{4}$Li$_{4}$. We demonstrate that these all-metal species can be stabilized by complexation with 3d-transition metals very similar to its organic counterpart, C$_4$H$_4$. Complexation to transition metal ions reduce the frontier orb…
Single ZnO nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) were fabricated using nanowires grown by site selective molecular-beam epitaxy. When measured in the dark at 25°C, he depletion-mode transistors exhibit good saturation behavior, a threshold voltage of ∼−3V, and a maximum transconductance…
Recent developments in the application of Raman spectroscopy to carbon-nanotube-based composite materials are reviewed. This technique may be used to identify carbon nanotubes, access their dispersion in polymers, evaluate nanotube/matrix interactions and detect polymer phase transitions. The Raman spectra of nanotube…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the role of chemical bonding between the matrix and the fiber on thermal transport in carbon nanotube organic matrix composites. We find that chemical bonding significantly reduces tube-matrix thermal boundary resistance, but at the same time decreases intrinsic tube co…
A new energy-based theory, quantized fracture mechanics (QFM), is presented that modifies continuum-based fracture mechanics; stress- and strain-based QFM analogs are also proposed. The differentials in Griffith's criterion are substituted with finite differences; the implications are remarkable. Fracture of tiny syst…
We propose a method for the tomographic reconstruction of qubit states for a general class of solid state systems in which the Hamiltonians are represented by spin operators, e.g., with Heisenberg-, $XXZ$-, or XY- type exchange interactions. We analyze the implementation of the projective operator measurements, or spi…
Phase invariants are important pieces of information about the atomic structures of crystals. There are several mathematical methods in X-ray crystallography to estimate phase invariants. The multi-wave diffraction phenomenon offers a unique opportunity of physically measuring phase invariants. In this work, the under…
A series of [G1] to [G3]-oligo(dibenzylsulfide) dendrimers containing up to 21 interior dibenzylsulfide moieties was prepared as starting materials toward the syntheses of two new series of oligo(dibenzyl sulfone) and oligo(phenylenevinylene) dendrimers using two different dendrimer-to-dendrimer conversion strategies.…
Abstract Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation in the presence and absence of protective agents. Addition of protective agents could decrease the size of particles, and improve the particle size distribution as well as the colloidal dispersion stability. XRD and HR-TEM have clarified…
In the reaction of organic monocationic chlorides or coordinatively saturated metal-ligand complex chlorides with linear, neutral Hg(CN)(2) building blocks, the Lewis-acidic Hg(CN)(2) moieties accept the chloride ligands to form mercury cyanide/chloride double salt anions that in several cases form infinite 1-D and 2-…
Benzoic acid has been crystallized by mixing sodium benzoate and hydrochloric acid in a T-mixer. The suspension is collected in an agitated crystallizer, and aging of the solid product is evaluated by microscopy. In addition, the kinetics of aging is examined by population balance modeling and nonlinear parameter esti…
Conformal copper films were deposited onto various copper diffusion barrier layers with catalytic hydrogen reduction of copper(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate, Cu(hfa) 2, in supercritical CO 2 . In the presence of 2−5 at. % of Pd(hfa) 2 (relative to Cu(hfa) 2 ), device quality copper films (resistivity 2.1 × 10 - 6 Ω-cm…
We study the surface behavior of the asymmetric amphiphilic heteroarm poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/polystyrene (PS) star polymer on solid substrate. These star polymers differ in both architecture (four- and three-arm molecules, PEO-b-PS(3) and PEO-b-PS(2)) and in the length of PS chains (molecular weight from about 10…
