Co-doped ZnO nanocluster-assembled films were deposited by nanocluster-beam deposition. Zn0.986Co0.014O nanoclusters remained wurtzite in structure with size of 5nm. Compared with bulk ZnO, a blueshift of 0.28eV was observed in the absorption edge of the film. Two photo-luminescence bands at 378 and 510nm were detecte…

The red photoluminescence and phosphorescence originating from D21-H43 transition of Pr3+ in CaTiO3 nanoparticles are studied as a function of Pr3+ concentrations. The nanophosphors exhibit both longer persistence time of 30min and higher quenching concentration of 0.4mol% than the bulk (10min and 0.1mol%). The initia…

The magnetoelectric effect (ME) in the epitaxial Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3∕La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (PZT/LSMO) composite thin film deposited on LaAlO3 substrate was reported. This effect is generally negligible in the strictly condensed composite films, where the thick substrates would inhibit any free deformations of the ferroic film…

The authors report on the field emission from an aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition. The CNT bundle showed a low-threshold electric field of 2.0V∕μm that produced a current density of 10mA∕cm2, sustainable evolution of current density up to 2.8A∕cm2 at 2.9V∕μm, and good emi…

We develop a model for ferromagnetic resonance in systems with competing uniaxial and cubic anisotropies. This model applies to (i) magnetic materials with both uniaxial and cubic anisotropies, and (ii) magnetic nanoparticles with effective core and surface anisotropies; We numerically compute the resonance frequency…

In this letter, the authors directly observed the zinc-blende (ZB) ZnO core in the initial formation of wurtzite (WZ) ZnO tetrapods. The formation of the wurtzite (011¯3) twined nanowires is proposed based on the ZB core. Simple bonding density calculation shows that the wurtzite nanowires with {011¯0} side surfaces h…

We introduce a simple nearest-neighbor spin model with multiple metastable phases, the number and decay pathways of which are explicitly controlled by the parameters of the system. With this model we can construct, for example, a system which evolves through an arbitrarily long succession of metastable phases. We also…
