In this paper an oxygen sensor based on Ga 2 O 3 films was analyzed. We propose a sensor using a Pt–Ga 2 O 3 –Pt structure with a bottom Pt layer electrode and a mesh type Pt electrode atop the Ga 2 O 3 film. Ga 2 O 3 films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering from a powder target using Ar as the sputtering gas. A…

The deposition of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films at subatmospheric pressure has been achieved by the nanopulse plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. To realize this process, a high ion density and non-arcing plasma at subatmospheric pressure are required. A static induction (SI) thyristor with an inductive e…

Ferromagnetic Zn 1- x Cu x O (ZnO:Cu) films were epitaxially grown on n-GaN(0001)/Al 2 O 3 (0001) by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering at a substrate temperature as low as 700°C. X-ray diffraction θ-2θ scans, φ-scans, and surface morphology studies revealed the degree of crystallinity, epitaxiality, and grain size.…

A reflective-type polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal (PSCLC) cell was demonstrated at λ=1550 nm laser wavelength. It showed a high attenuation range (∼30 dB), a low operating voltage (∼12 V rms ), a highly efficient polarization-independent behavior and flat wavelength dependence in the range of 1525–1575 n…

Abstract The nonisothermal cold‐crystallization kinetics and subsequent melting behavior of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. The Avrami, Tobin, and Ozawa equations were applied to describe the kinetics of the crystallization process. Both the Avrami and T…

The structural determinants of the unusually low pK(a) values of Cys282 in human creatine kinase and Cys232 in alpha1-antitrypsin were studied computationally. We have demonstrated that hydrogen bonding to the cysteine residue is the prime determinant for both proteins. In the case of creatine kinase, the hydrogen bon…

Strain-induced band gap shifts that depend strongly on the chiral angle have been observed by optical spectroscopy in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Uniaxial and torsional strains are generated by changing the environment surrounding the SWCNTs, using the surrounding D2O ice temperature or the hydration stat…

The morphology and growth behavior of naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene is studied both experimentally and by computer simulations. We will show that the attachment energy morphology prediction for all compounds gives approximately the correct habit, but that this is merely coincidental. Our Monte Carlo simulatio…
