Abstract We review recent experiments at Columbia on electronic transport in graphene nanostructures. We define the graphene nanostructures by e‐beam lithography followed by oxigen plasma etch. In this way we can pattern nanoribbons, rings, as well as other nanostructures. We use this technique to pattern graphene nan…

Size control of BaTiO3 in solid-state reaction between BaCO3 and TiO2 was demonstrated by varying the size of TiO2 and milling conditions of BaCO3. The smaller TiO2 particles had higher surface area, resulting in faster initial reaction. The mechanically milled BaCO3 particles accelerated the diusion process and decre…

We investigated the oxygen vacancies in Lu2SiO5 (LSO:Ce) by using first-principles pseudopotential calculations based on density functional theory. The results indicate that VO5 has the lowest formation energies compared with the other four oxygen vacancies belonging to the SiO4 tetrahedron. The oxygen vacancy can ind…
