It is shown that the short-circuit photocurrent measured under illumination in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 epitaxial films is strongly dependent on the metal used as the top electrode. The magnitude of the photocurrent varies by more than 2 orders of magnitude from Pt (largest signal) to Al (smallest signal). The differences are for…

In this work, the in-fiber shock propagation in Dyneema® has been studied such that the shock propagated along the axis of one of the fiber directions. A fast moving precursor wave was detected that corresponded to the elastic wave velocity of the fibers suggesting that the fibers themselves were acting as wave guides…

Abstract To introduce thiol–ene chemistry in the modification of composites by ionic liquid (IL), a novel functional IL, 1‐methylimidazolium mercaptopropionate (MimMP), was synthesized and investigated as a modifier for styrene–butadiene rubber/silica composites. MimMP could be hydrogen‐bonded with silica and react wi…

Single-crystal Cu(001) layers, 4-1400 nm thick, were deposited on MgO(001) with and without a 2.5-nm-thick TiN(001) buffer layer. X-ray diffraction and reflection indicate that the TiN(001) surface suppresses Cu-dewetting, yielding a 4 × lower defect density and a 9 × smaller surface roughness than if grown on MgO(001…

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in antiferromagnetic borocarbide superconductor RNi2B2C (R = Dy, Ho, and Er) compounds have been investigated by measuring the temperature and field dependences of heat capacity. An inverse MCE was observed, which is attributed to the nature of the antiferromagnetic state under low magn…

Femtosecond laser pulses are focused on a thin film of Ge2Sb2Te5 phase-change material, and the transfer of the illuminated material to a nearby substrate is investigated. The size, shape, and phase-state of the fabricated pattern can be effectively controlled by the laser fluence and by the thickness of the Ge2Sb2Te5…

We report on the investigation of the potential application of different forms of amorphous carbon (a-C and a-C:H) as an antireflective coating for crystalline silicon solar cells. Polymeric-like carbon (PLC) and hydrogenated diamond-like carbon films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Tetrah…

A two-laser technique is used to investigate heat spreading along individual single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles in vacuum and air environments. A 532 nm laser focused on the center of a suspended SWCNT bundle is used as a local heat source, and a 633 nm laser is used to measure the spatial temperature profi…

In spin-mechanics, the magnetoelastic coupling in ferromagnetic/ferroelectric hybrid devices is exploited in order to realize an electric-voltage control of magnetization orientation. To this end, different voltage-induced elastic strain states are used to generate different magnetization orientations. In our approach…

An adaptive finite-element semi-smooth Newton solver for the Cahn–Hilliard model with double obstacle free energy is proposed. For this purpose, the governing system is discretized in time using a semi-implicit scheme, and the resulting time-discrete system is formulated as an optimal control problem with pointwise co…
