Using magnetron cosputtering of SiO2, Ge, and Si targets, Si-based SiO2:Ge:Si films were fabricated for exploring the influence of Si target proportion (PSi) and annealing temperature (Ta) on formation, local structure, and phonon properties of nanocrystalline Si1−xGex (nc-Si1−xGex). At low PSi and Ta higher than 800°…
The functionalization of mesoporous silica materials with alkyl peptidoamines by the co-condensation method was investigated. Alkylpeptidoamines were introduced via (aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES). Samples were prepared by using a nonionic fluorinated surfactant CF 3 (CF 2 ) 7 C 2 H 4 (OC 2 H 4 ) 9 OH. Results ob…
Er -doped and Er∕Yb codoped soda-silicate laser glasses with various concentrations of Er and Yb were fabricated. The absorption and the photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured and analyzed. For the Er- doped soda-slilicate glasses, the optimum Er concentration for the PL intensity at 1536nm turns out to be 0.5at…
A new software tool, the maximum pixel spectrum, detects rare events within a spectrum image data cube, such as that generated with electron-excited energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry in a scanning electron microscope. The maximum pixel spectrum is a member of a class of 'derived spectra' that are constructed from t…
Palladium nanoparticles were deposited using a sequential electroless deposition technique on the pore walls of nanoporous anodic alumina. For the particle deposition a Pd(NH3)42+ solution was soaked in the alumina membrane and a heated air flow was applied in order to reduce the palladium complex to palladium metal n…
A versatile Knudsen type effusion cell has been fabricated for growing nanostructures and epitaxial layers of metals and semiconductors. The cell provides excellent vacuum compatibility (10−10 mbar range during operation), efficient water cooling, uniform heating, and moderate input power consumption (100 W at 1000 °C…
The ion species ratios in low energy high flux deuterium plasma beams formed in a linear plasma generator were measured by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. And the species control in the plasma generator was evaluated by changing the operational parameters like neutral pressure, arc current, and axial magnetic confinem…
In this study, a two-step annealing method is advanced to produce high-quality ZnO films with excellent structural, electrical, and optical properties. The effects of oxygen and nitrogen annealing on the properties of undoped ZnO films are reversible to each other and are attributed to the creation and annihilation of…
We perform for the first time photoluminescence excitation (PLE) studies of individual nanocrystals (NCs) that reveal the structure of excited-state transitions not obscured by ensemble averaging. Single-NC PLE spectra strongly deviate from a traditional idealized picture of sharp, quasiatomic resonances. We detect on…
Some solid compounds can exist in two or more polymorphs with different atomic structures but the same chemical composition. Similar behavior has been observed for glasses and liquids, where the phenomenon is termed polyamorphism. In their Perspective, Yarger and Wolf highlight the reports by Katayama et al. and Tanak…
To reexamine the established "auxiliary donor" effect of thiophene in nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, we have prepared two isomeric donor-acceptor azo dyes, differing only in the position of the thiophene. Experimental analysis of these chromophores, including electric field-induced second harmonic generation (E…
We report the synthesis and spectral characterization of the first five members of an oligomeric series built from alternating p-connected 1,4-benzene and 1,4-pyridinium rings, 1[n]-4[n], n=1-5, with p-phenylene-bis-4,4'-(1-aryl-2,6-diphenylpyridinium) ("extended viologen") as the repeating unit. The lengths of these…
V 2 O 5 thin films were produced by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) over a wide temperature range, 30–500 °C. The effects of temperature and structural characteristics of the substrate on the growth, surface morphology, and local atomic structure of V2O5 films were probed with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spe…
Cobalt-doped ZnO (Zn1−xCoxO) thin films were fabricated by reactive magnetron cosputtering. The processing conditions were carefully designed to avoid the occurrence of Co precipitations. The films are c-axis oriented, and the solubility limit of Co in ZnO is less than 17%, determined by x-ray diffraction. X-ray photo…
A synergistic approach combining the experimental photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical electronic structure studies is used to demonstrate the existence of magnetic isomers as well as configurations having comparable binding energies, identical spins, and yet differing in the distribution of local moments (calle…
The effect of Cr doping on the charge-ordered (CO) state of the bilayered manganite LaSr2Mn2O is investigated by electronic transport and magnetic property measurements. With Cr doping, the metal-insulator transition disappears and the temperature dependence of resistivity ρ(T) exhibits semiconducting behavior. Both t…
Abstract The low‐temperature heat capacity of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) was measured from 5 to 330 K. The experimental heat capacity of solid PBT, below the glass transition, was linked to its approximate group and skeletal vibrational spectrum. The 21 skeletal vibrations were estimated with a general Tarasov…
We have designed and modeled new techniques, based on the 3ω method, to measure thermal conductivity of liquids (κl) and solids (κs) under hydrostatic pressure (P). The system involves a solid sample immersed in a liquid pressure medium, both of which have unknown thermal properties. The temperature (T) and P dependan…
Two different vacuum tight sample cells for in situ temperature dependent small angle scattering from liquids are presented in this article. In the first one, the sample fills a 1 mm thickness gap sealed on both sides by two thin parallel mica windows (volume 300 μl). In the second one, the liquid is injected into a 1…
A unique, simple, inexpensive, and one-step synthesis route to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with palladium nanoparticles using a simplified dc arc-discharge in solution is reported. Zero-loss energy filtered transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy confirm the presenc…
