This article presents the investigation results on the transformation characteristics of a sputter-deposited Ti–Ni–Cu shape memory alloy thin film and its relation to the substrate-induced stress. Experimental results show that, with the substrate attachment, the transformation interval increases while the transformat…
Excitation dynamics in Er3+–Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glasses were examined as a function of both erbium and ytterbium concentration by monitoring fluorescence on the 1.5 μm I13/24→I15/24 transition of Er3+ following pulsed laser excitation of the system at 977 nm under room temperature. For the range of donor (Yb3+) an…
We report the size effect on the magnetic properties in Prussian blue nanowire arrays. Samples with diameters in the range of 50–200 nm have been prepared by an electrodeposition technology with two-step anodizing anodic aluminum oxide films. The Mössbauer measurement results show that the composition of the continuou…
We discuss the influence of mobile ions in liquid crystalline materials on the dc voltage-induced molecular reorientation dynamics. We investigate the conventional case of an undoped planar nematic sample aligned by thin polymeric films deposited on the electrodes. A simple model for the ion drift towards the electrod…
We present x-ray absorption and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism studies of iron oxide passivated iron nanoparticles. The combination of measurements with different probing depths allows us to determine the oxide composition while the magnetic data reveal the magnetic interactions across the interface between the α-F…
Artificial superlattices consisting of ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BTO) and conductive LaNiO3 (LNO) sublayers were epitaxially grown on Nb-doped SrTiO3(001) single crystal substrates by a dual-gun rf magnetron sputtering system. A symmetric sublayer structure with the designed thickness varying in the range from 3 nm to 70…
The functional properties of two types of barium strontium titanate (BST) thin film capacitor structures were studied: one set of structures was made using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) and the other using chemical solution deposition. While initial observations on PLD films looking at the behavior of Tm (the temperat…
Lanthanum-doped lead zirconate titanate stannate antiferroelectric thin films of ∼420 nm with compositions in the antiferroelectric tetragonal region have been prepared on Pt-buffered Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Effects of oxygen pressure during deposition were studied, with emphasis placed on the electr…
We report recent achievements in metal-enhanced fluorescence. Several fluorophore systems have been studied on metal particle-coated surface and in colloid suspensions. In particular, we describe a distance dependent enhancement on silver island films (SIFs), release of self-quenching of fluorescence near silver parti…
The electro-optical (EO) properties of the ferroelectric relaxor poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene) terpolymer were investigated in the wavelength region from 3 to 5 μm. A large Kerr effect was observed in which a refractive index change of −2.6% can be induced under an electric field of…
We consider the interaction between two-dimensional nematic colloids and planar or sculpted walls. The elastic interaction between colloidal disks and flat walls, with homeotropic boundary conditions, is always repulsive. These repulsions may be turned into strong attractions at structured or sculpted walls, with cavi…
Abstract The effect of the triblock copolymer poly[styrene‐ b ‐(ethylene‐ co ‐butylene)‐ b ‐styrene] (SEBS) on the formation of the space charge of immiscible low‐density polyethylene (LDPE)/polystyrene (PS) blends was investigated. Blends of 70/30 (wt %) LDPE/PS were prepared through melt blending in an internal mixe…
The effect of oxidation on charge transport and retention within a sheet of silicon (Si) nanocrystals was investigated with an electrostatic force microscope. Single layers of nanocrystals with smooth and abrupt Si/SiO2 interfaces were prepared by thermal crystallization of thin amorphous Si layers, followed by an oxi…
Forced convective jet applied onto carbon arc plasma has significant effects on the formation of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes mixed with multishelled nanoparticles produced by the “arc in water” method. There is an optimized flow rate of the convective jet that leads to the highe…
The growth of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) mediated by metal nanoparticles is considered within (i) the surface diffusion growth kinetics model coupled with (ii) a thermal model taking into account heat release of carbon adsorption-desorption on nanotube surface and carbon incorporation into the nanotube wall…
Aging characteristics of 0.2(PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)-0.8(PbZr0.475Ti0.525O3) multilayer ceramic actuators have been investigated by applying rectified ac bias. Multilayer ceramic actuators 5×5×5 mm3 in size were fabricated by tape-casting methods. X-ray diffraction analyses were performed to compare crystalline structures and…
The crystal structure of [C(6)H(5)NH(CH(3))(2)](2)Te(2)I(10) consists of the N,N-dimethylanilinium cation and a hitherto unreported tellurium iodide anion Te(2)I(10)(2)(-) [crystal data: C(8)H(12)NTeI(5), monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.4787(2) A, b = 14.2874(3) A, c = 13.6869(3) A, beta = 95.1918(8) degrees, V = 1845.96(7…
Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of freshly etched and ambient-aged porous silicon specimens have been measured and analyzed to extract spectral contributions due to quantum confinement (QC) and non-QC effects. It is shown that all spectra can be deconvolved into five Gaussian bands with typical peak energies 1.59, 1.76…
The first slipped pseudo-quadruple-decker complex of phthalocyanines was formed unexpectedly upon treatment of the protonated double-decker SmIIIH(Pc)[Pc(alpha-OC4H9)8] with NaOH. The supramolecular structure contains two double-decker units linked by two sodium ions by an extremely rare coordination mode of phthalocy…
Biaxial strain during nucleation influences phase separation into ferromagnetic (metallic) and nonferromagnetic (insulating) regions and that, in turn, markedly affects the electric transport of a manganite film. A 40-nm-thick La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 film, coherently constrained by a (001)LaAlO3 substrate, possesses a notice…
