Abstract The inorganic–organic crosslinking polythiourethane/ZnS (PTU/ZnS) nanocomposites with high refractive index and transmittance were successfully prepared. The thiol‐capped ZnS nanoparticles with a diameter of about 5 nm were fabricated into the molecular chains of PTU via the formed covalent bonds between the…

The temperature dependence of the strain, electric field, and polarization of lead zirconate titanate ceramic under unipolar electric fields up to 1.3 kV mm−1 from −50 °C up to +200 °C is reported. An electrostrictive model is shown to describe the response to high levels of induced polarization and electric field bel…

The photoluminescence (PL) properties of properly annealed n -octadecylsiloxanes, which are newly recognized highly emissive hybrid materials reported recently by us (Nishimura, A.; Sagawa, N.; Uchino, T. J. Phys. Chem. C 2009, 113, 4260), with different cross-linking structures are investigated using steady-state and…

The stress response during Pb underpotential deposition on (111)-textured Au has been examined on a cantilever beam electrode in perchloric acid supporting electrolyte. We observe a sweep rate dependence for both the individual voltammetric waves and the stress response that we attribute to kinetically controlled surf…

Ab initio study reveals that strain can influence graphene’s ballistic conductance substantially; however, the effect of biaxial strain is significantly different from that of hydrostatic strain. For hydrostatic strain, tension increases conductance while compression decreases conductance. In contrast, when biaxial co…

Phase transitions in GeTe/SnSe and Ge2Se3/SnTe are investigated using time resolved x-ray diffraction. GeTe exhibits a structural transition from rhombohedral to the cubic phase at 300 °C, which is ∼100 °C lower than that of pure GeTe. This is facilitated by incorporation of Sn from SnSe. Sn migration is observed expl…

1,10-Phenanthroline mono-N-oxide (phenO) is a product of the decomposition of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(III), Fe(phen)(3)(3+), and has a slight autocatalytic effect on the overall reaction. The mechanism is proposed to involve Fe(phen)(3)(4+) as a minor intermediate. The addition of phenO significantly influences…

We observed the Shubnikov–de Haas and the Aharonov Bohm oscillations in a graphene nanoring structure of 1 μm in diameter and with a 125 nm channel width. We found a separation of 2ΔVg=17.5 V between electron and hole Landau levels in the plot of longitudinal resistance as a function of gate voltage and magnetic field…

Abstract Chain extension of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with bisphenol‐A dicyanate (BADCy) was studied using an internal mixer under reactive blending conditions. The reaction between PET and BADCy was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and chemical titration. With increasing amount of BADCy introdu…

Spin-glasslike (SGL) behavior and exchange bias (EB) effect have been reported in multiferroic Bi1/3Sr2/3FeO3 ceramics. Temperature dependence of magnetization and high field relaxation properties reveal the existence of SGL phases. After field cooling the sample from 350 to 10 K, exchange bias field (HEB), vertical m…

A broadband antireflective coating for silicon was fabricated by tailoring the compositions of SiNx and SiOxNy during conventional plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The coating’s refractive index was quasicontinuously graded, e.g., from 3.22 to 1.44 at 1550 nm. Over the 280–3300 nm wavelength range, the refle…
