Abstract We studied the effects of added metallic elements in Ag‐alloy layers of indium‐tin‐oxide (ITO)/Ag‐alloy/ITO transparent conductive multilayer system on the durability against heat. When Ag film was heat treated, agglomeration occurred due to the surface diffusion of the Ag atoms. This caused an increase in th…

In situ observation on dehydrogenation of MgH2 was performed by using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The dehydrogenation of MgH2 with 1 mol % Nb2O5 and formation of nanosized Mg particles were observed at 150 °C. Nb2O5 was not confirmed in diffraction patterns and TEM images probably due to wide dispersion. O…

First-principles calculations were used to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of surface-passivated ZnO graphitic sheets. The results show that ZnO graphitic sheet with hydrogenation on both O and Zn atoms exhibits indirect band gap, while ZnO graphitic sheet is found to be metallic for hydrogenation o…

ZnO nanorods and nanowires fabricated from solution methods exhibit poor optical properties. Using hydrothermal post-treatment in pure water, the green emission can be significantly suppressed at 250 °C and completely eliminated at 350 °C. Meanwhile, the near-band-edge UV radiative recombination efficiency is greatly…

Epitaxial NaNbO3 thin films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on cubic (00l) MgO substrate with epitaxial (La0.5Sr0.5)CoO3 buffer layer. Micro-Raman spectroscopy studies revealed that the ferroelectric Q phase (Pmc21, Z=4) is stable in a 250-nm-thick film in contrast to the antiferroelectric phase P (Pbma, Z=…

PbSe/CdSe core/shell nanocrystals with quantum yield of 70% were obtained by the "successive ion layer adsorption and reaction" technology in solution. The thickness of the CdSe shell was exactly controlled. A series of spectral red shifts with the CdSe shell growth were observed, which was attributed to the combined…

We show that in oxide thin films of spiral antiferromagnetic orthorhombic TbMnO3, ferromagnetism emerges resulting from epitaxially induced strain. The unit cell volume can be tuned (contracting up to a 2%) by varying thickness and deposition conditions; it is found that the ferromagnetic response correlates with the…

Photoconductivity relaxation in rf magnetron sputtered ZnO thin films integrated with ultrathin tin metal overlayer is investigated. Charge carriers induced at the ZnO-metal interface by the tin metal overlayer compensates the surface lying trap centers and leads to the enhanced photoresponse. On termination of ultrav…
