Ni-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) is one of the most common techniques for the growth of carbon nanofibres/nanotubes (CNFs/CNTs). However, some fundamental issues related to the catalytic growth of CNFs/CNTs, such as the low-limit growth temperature, the limiting steps and the state of Ni, are still…

We have investigated the molecular orientation and magnetic properties of vanadyl phthalocyanine (VOPc) deposited on ferromagnetic Fe, Co, and Ni films, which were epitaxially grown on Cu(001) using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. The results reveal that the VOPc framework lies fla…

Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST) phase change nanowires have been fabricated using a top-down spacer etch process. This approach enables controls over the dimension and location of the nanowires without affecting the electrical properties. Phase change devices based on these nanowires have been used to systematically investigate…

We investigated the interface between hexagonal ZnO films and cubic MgO (001) substrates, fabricated via molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy revealed that growth follows the single [0001] direction when the temperature of the substrate is above 200 °C, while when t…

Low-loss lenses are required for submillimeter astronomical applications, such as instrumentation for CCAT, a 25 m diameter telescope to be built at an elevation of 18,400 ft in Chile. Silicon is a leading candidate for dielectric lenses due to its low transmission loss and high index of refraction; however, the latte…

We demonstrated an efficient and robust approach for the preparation of polymer/quantum dot (QD) nanocomposite thin films in nonpolar media. By employing photopolymerization based on the thiol-ene reaction, thiol-containing polymer with affinity groups for CdSe@CdS QDs was produced for the buildup of the polymer/CdSe@…

Attaching a self-complementary zwitterionic supramolecular binding site to the amino groups of polyethyleneimine leads to a pH switchable hydrogel as dimerization of the zwitterions introduces additional crosslinks between the polymer chains. This gel responds to both the addition of either acid or base, as only the z…
