The relationship between the conducting behavior and the degree of charge fluctuation in the β″-type BEDT-TTF salts is reviewed from the standpoints of vibrational spectroscopy and crystal structure. A group of β″-type ET salts demonstrates the best model compounds for achieving the above relationship because the two-…

Herein, redox reactions at chemically derivatized porous silicon (PSi) films are investigated. Passivation of the PSi matrix, by replacing metastable Si–H termini with nonpolar Si—C═C—R linkages, allows the electrochemical PSi device to operate in aqueous environments under oxidizing conditions (i.e., electron hole ac…

The surface structure is known to significantly affect the long-range capillary forces between hydrophobic surfaces in aqueous solutions. It is, however, not clear how small depressions in the surface will affect the interaction. To clarify this, we have used the AFM colloidal probe technique to measure interactions b…

Thin films of TiN were prepared via RF magnetron reactive sputtering at various deposition pressures. The characteristics of the plasmas were measured by optical emission spectroscopy to optimize the conditions for the deposition of TiN coatings. After deposition, the thin films were annealed in a closed furnace at se…

We introduce a new polarization conversion system (PCS) based on a liquid-crystal polarization grating (PG) and louvered wave plate. A simple arrangement of these elements laminated between two microlens arrays results in a compact and monolithic element, with the ability to nearly completely convert unpolarized input…

The valence band and core‐level X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to probe hydroxyapatite films formed on the surface of stainless steel. These films formed on steel may find application in medical implants. The key to the successful adhesion of the hydroxyapatite films is shown to be the initial formation of…

Abstract Single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising filler materials for advanced polymer composites, but the impressive properties that have been predicted theoretically have not been realized experimentally. This gap is generally attributed to aggregation and nonideal dispersion of the SWNTs. Here, nonionic…

Low fluorescence quantum yields and possible impacts on environments are the issue of the newly emerging fluorescent carbon dots (CDs). In this study, we report on the γ-irradiation effects on CDs in aqueous solutions. We found that CDs could be either easily decomposed to small molecules or enhanced in fluorescence q…

Abstract Hysteresis is induced in paraelectric (Ba,Sr)TiO 3 (BST) thin‐film capacitors by inserting an Al 2 O 3 barrier layer of a few nanometers in thickness between the BST layer and the electrode. The observed hysteresis is explained by ambipolar charge carrier injection through the Al 2 O 3 layer and charge storag…
