Highly transparent 8 mol% Y 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 (8Y) ceramics were fabricated by the hot isostatic pressing method. The transmission in a visible light region was comparable to that of a single crystal. In this work, the microstructural relationship between presintered and hot isostatic‐pressed material was examined. The tra…

Resonant photoemission at the Ti 2p and O 1s edges on a Nb-doped SrTiO(3) thin film revealed that the coherent state (CS) at the Fermi level (E(F)) had a mainly Ti 3d character whereas the incoherent in-gap state (IGS) positioned approximately 1.5 eV below E(F) had a mixed character of Ti 3d and O 2p states. This indi…

High-density, uniform diamond nanopillar arrays were fabricated by employing bias-assisted reactive ion etching in a hydrogen/argon plasma. Gold nanodots were employed as etching masks. The formation of nanopillar structure is associated with the directional physical etching/sputtering by ion bombardment and selective…

Deep-ultraviolet (DUV) solar-blind photodetectors based on high-quality cubic boron nitride (cBN) films with a metal/semiconductor/metal configuration were fabricated. The design of interdigitated circular electrodes enables high homogeneity of electric field between pads. The DUV photodetectors present a peak respons…

The present study was conducted to prepare and characterize chitosan nanoparticle loaded copper ions, and evaluate their antibacterial activity. Chitosan nanoparticles were prepared based on ionotropic gelation, and then the copper ions were loaded. The particle size, zeta potential and morphology were determined. Ant…

A molecular structural mechanics method has been implemented to investigate the vibrational behavior of single-layered graphene sheets. By adopting this approach, mode shapes and natural frequencies are obtained. Vibrational analysis is performed with different chirality and boundary conditions. Numerical results from…

We report on an investigation of spin-polarized secondary electron emission from the chemically inert system: graphene/Ni(111). An ordered passivation graphene layer (monolayer of graphite) was formed on Ni(111) surface via cracking of propylene gas. The spin polarization of secondary electrons obtained from this syst…

A quantum mechanical scattering theory for relativistic, highly focused electron beams near nanoscopic platelets is presented, revealing a new excitation mechanism due to the electron wave scattering from the platelet edges. Radiative electromagnetic excitations within the light cone are shown to arise, allowed by the…

$Ni Cl_2$-$4SC(NH_2)_2$ (known as DTN) is a spin-1 material with a strong single-ion anisotropy that is regarded as a new candidate for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of spin degrees of freedom. We present a systematic study of the low-energy excitation spectrum of DTN in the field-induced magnetically ordered phase…

During the course of atomic transport in a host material, impurity atoms need to surmount an energy barrier driven by thermodynamic bias or at ultra-low temperatures by quantum tunneling. In the present article we demonstrate using atomistic simulations that at ultra-low temperature transient inter-layer atomic transp…

We explore the occurrence of low-energy and low-temperature transient cluster burrowing leading to intact cluster inclusions. In particular, the anomalously fast (ballistic) Pt nanocluster implantation into Al and Ti substrates has been found by molecular dynamics simulations using a tight-binding many-body potential…

The recently observed multiferroic behavior in the s =1/2 chain cuprate LiVCuO 4 (≡LiCuVO 4 ) with edge-shared CuO 4 plaquettes and helical spin ordering does not agree with the existing theories such as a spin-current scenario. We argue that the effect can be consistently explained, if the exchange-induced electric p…

A simple one-step electrodeposition process is developed for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces on a series of substrates such as copper, titanium, iron, zinc, aluminum, and stannum. The hierarchical micro- and nanostructures endow these surfaces with excellent super-hydrophobicity and the resulting surfaces…

The charge distribution of the defect states at the reduced TiO(2)(110) surface is studied via a new method, the resonant photoelectron diffraction. The diffraction pattern from the defect state, excited at the Ti-2p-3d resonance, is analyzed in the forward scattering approach and on the basis of multiple scattering c…

An external magnetic field, $H$, applied parallel to a quasi two-dimensional system modifies quantitatively and qualitatively the density of states. Using a self-consistent numerical approach, we study how this affects the entropy, $S$, the free energy, $F$, and the magnetization, $M$, for different sheet carrier conc…
