In this letter, we report the observation of backward stimulated Mie scattering in a suspension of CdSe/Cds/ZnS nanocrystals in chloroform, pump by 816-nm or 1064-nm nanosecond laser pulses. The observed stimulated scattering exhibits the features of no frequency-shift, low pump threshold requirement, and easy control…

Density functional theory calculations found that spin density distributions of platinum clusters adsorbed on nanometer-size defective graphene patches with zigzag edges deviate strongly from those in the corresponding bare clusters, due to strong Pt-C interactions. In contrast, platinum clusters on the pristine patch…

Different surface structure of spacer fabric implies different spacer yarn arrangement and therefore the compression resistance of fabric. The spacer yarns' arrangement modeling of warp knitted spacer fabrics having identical parameters (thickness, density, material etc.) but different surface structures on double-nee…

Titania (anatase) nanoparticles were successfully PEGylated through the use of catechol (dopamine)-terminated PEG derivatives. The resulting materials were characterized by excellent stability at neutral pH and extremely low toxicity (phagocytic and nonphagocytic cell lines). In particular, we focused on the compariso…

The circular transfer length method was employed to extract the specific contact resistivity, ρc of GeTe (amorphous and crystalline state) with metals (Ni, W, TiW) to quantify the series contact resistance. The ρc of amorphous-GeTe with metals was also determined for different annealing conditions. Higher metal work f…

TEM analysis of nanoparticle dispersions in solution has previously been limited, in the main, to the measurement of primary particle size due to the drying effects that occur during sample preparation. We show that solutions prepared for TEM by plunge freezing specimen grids coated with a blotted solution is a sensit…

Strong and stable blue photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature has been observed from amorphous oxidized silicon nitride (a-SiNx:O) films with Ag nanoparticles inserted between a-SiNx:O films and Si substrates. The resonant excitation of localized surface plasmons (LSPs) with the emission of a-SiNx:O films has resu…

We report the quantum capacitance of a monolayer graphene device in an external perpendicular magnetic field including the effects of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI). The SOI mixes the spin up and spin down states of neighbouring Landau levels into two (unequally spaced) energy branches. In order to investigate th…

We report on electrical properties and the generation of the E4 defect in pulsed-laser deposited MgxZn1−xO thin films irradiated with 2.25 MeV protons. Whereas the electrical properties of the Schottky diodes as well as the net doping density of the samples did not change due to irradiation, the concentration of the E…

The study investigated the chemical doping effect of Li in the Fe(Se,Te) system. With the addition of Li, the NiAs phase was precipitated, which resulted in worse superconductivity in FeSe samples. The XRD results indicated that chemical stress was found in the FeTe system which showed no superconductivity by doping L…

The thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes with Stone-Wales (SW) defects was investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method. The defect effects were analyzed by the temperature profile and local thermal resistance of the nanotubes with one or more SW defects and further compared with perfect tubes. The…

Superprotonic conduction in the LiH2PO4 (LDP) system has been studied by means of impedance spectroscopy. A dielectric dispersion associated with room-temperature superionic conduction is manifested, as the temperature-dependent dielectric constant displays a broad peak shifting toward the high temperatures with incre…

Silver citrate solution was irradiated by monochromatic light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Under visible-light irradiation, a characteristic peak (Abs hex ) was observed in the absorption spectrum above a certain value of fluence (Φ thres ). The formation of hexagonal silver nanoprisms was confirmed by transmiss…

Surface passivation of nanoporous crystalline silicon can reduce its thermal conductivity. This was established using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The porosity varied from 8% to 38% while the pore diameter ranged from 1.74 to 2.93 nm. Hydrogen and oxygen passivation reduced thermal conductivity by 11% t…

We present few-layer graphene synthesis by negative carbon cluster ion implantation with C1, C2, and C4 at energies below 20 keV. The small C-clusters were produced by a source of negative ion by cesium sputtering with medium beam current. We show that the nonlinear effect in cluster-induced damage is favorable for gr…

Abstract To investigate their memory behaviours, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were embedded in the floating gate of a hybrid metal–insulator–semiconductor structure using layer-by-layer deposition, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as the dielectric. Unlike longer SWCNT-based structures, shortened SWCNTs we…
