We write the equation of phonon radiative transport (EPRT) and the Boltzmann transport equation by including an in-scattering term under a relaxation time approximation. The in-scattering term contains a phase function that is exactly analogous to the phase function in the equation of radiative transport (ERT), thereb…

The spectral shape and bandwidth of the emission of Er3+ ions in silica glass around 1.5 μm is strongly modified by the presence of a silver grating. The metallodielectric grating was made by a sequence of ion implantation in silica glass, dry etching, and silver sputter deposition. Spectral enhancements are observed…

The step line tension in electrochemical systems differs conceptually from the line tension on metals in the vacuum because it refers to different boundary conditions. A procedure is established for calculating the electrochemical line tension and is applied to a novel model of the interface comprising both a stepped…

Although boron-doped diamond (BDD) is itself quite stable and chemically inert, some electrochemical applications could require further improvement, and fluorination could be one of the most promising methods. In the present paper, a characterization of diamond film electrodes surface-modified by fluorine insertion, t…

Thin-film transistors based on aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated by directly growing highly ordered CNTs on silicon dioxide surface. The transistor shows a pronounced field effect. Electric transport through the aligned carbon nanotubes is dominated by the holes at room temperature. A hole mobility (μp)…

Heat capacity measurements were made on aqueous solutions of a triple-helical polysaccharide schizophyllan by precision adiabatic calorimetry over a wide range of concentrations 30.45-90.93 wt % at temperatures between 5 and 315 K. The heat capacity curves obtained were divided into four groups depending on the weight…

We report the results for laser site selective excitation spectroscopy of ${\mathrm{Eu}}^{3+}$-doped yttrium aluminum garnet. We identified four primary luminescent centers (A--D) from the ${}^{7}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{{F}_{0}}}^{5}{D}_{0}$ excitation spectra and, from the ${}^{5}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\…

In this work we correlate between O− electron stimulated desorption (ESD) from hydrogenated and bare polycrystalline diamond films exposed to thermally activated oxygen for incident electron energies in the 4–23 eV range and vibrational electron energy losses. By utilizing the previously established mechanism of low e…

Conjugated polymers and oligomers can serve as highly responsive fluorescent reporters for biosensor applications. However, their optical properties in aqueous media are highly dependent upon environmental conditions. The structure of the paracyclophane framework provides a platform for designing optical reporters tha…

Nanostructured gold/monolithic mesoporous silica assembly was synthesized by a sonochemical method. The optical absorption maximum of the as-prepared nanocomposite varies from the visible to near-infrared region, depending on the reduction rate of AuCl4− ions in solution. There exists a critical reduction rate of AuCl…

When a bubble rising in distilled water or in an aqueous pentanol-1 solution approached the air/water interface, rapid pulsations of its shape with a frequency of more than 1000 Hz were observed. In addition, the bubble bounced from the free surface, prior to its rupture or to the formation of a foam film. It is rathe…

We have used molecular dynamics methods to investigate the effects of cyclic chain architecture on the properties of dilute solutions. In order to include solvent effects in estimating these properties, we use a van der Waals scaling factor determined for each solvent by matching to the theta condition. We predict tha…

Methane is the simplest organic molecule, and like many supposedly simple molecular materials it has a rich phase diagram. While crystal structures could be determined for two of the solid phases, that of the low temperature phase III remained unsolved. Using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction and a direct-spa…
