This paper describes a reliable method to selectively produce metastable α-form glycine crystals with a controlled size in batch cooling crystallization. Seeding had a large effect both on the polymorphism and the size distribution of the product crystals. In the case of sufficient seed loadings of the α -form crystal…

Structural dynamics and volume were measured as a function of both temperature and pressure for a propylene glycol and its oligomers (PPG), and the results compared with previous data on higher molecular weight polypropylene glycols. PPG is of special interest because the terminal groups form hydrogen bonds; thus, by…

By performing molecular dynamics simulations we have generated several forms of high density amorphous (HDA) water (ρ⩾1.1 g/cm3), either by pressurizing cubic ice or by quenching liquid water maintained under pressure. It is shown that the temperature of amorphization is a key variable in understanding the thermodynam…

We report on the characteristics of SiO2/n-GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures with β-Ga2O3 interlayers. β-Ga2O3 15 nm thick was grown by dry oxidation at 800 °C for 6 h, and 100-nm-thick SiO2 was then deposited by sputtering. Capacitance–voltage measurements show a low interface trap density of ∼3.9×1010 e…

We have achieved the size separation of DNA molecules on a biochip using an anodic porous alumina as a separation matrix in electrophoresis. The bottom of the microfluid channel on the chip was made of a porous alumina membrane that has uniform nanoscale pores on its surface. Since smaller molecules are much more freq…

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film waveguides with ridge structures have been fabricated on n-type (100) silicon substrates. The deposition of high-crystal-quality ZnO thin films on the lattice-mismatched silicon substrate was achieved by using the filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique. A ridge structure is defined on the Zn…

We discuss the influence of a uniform current, $\vec{j} $, on the magnetization dynamics of a ferromagnetic metal. We find that the magnon energy $ε(\vec{q})$ has a current-induced contribution proportional to $\vec{q}\cdot \vec{\cal J}$, where $\vec{\cal J}$ is the spin-current, and predict that collective dynamics w…
