In this work, the Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by a colloidal method. TEM images reveal that Fe3O4 MNPs are spherical in shape with a narrow size distribution in the range of 6–7 nm. These MNPs were used in the fabrication of two types of n-GaAs-based structures: (i) Fe3O4/n-GaAs (reference); a…

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is widely used at every synchrotron to characterize the electronic structure of materials. For XAS on dilute samples, the partial fluorescence yield (PFY) from the element of interest is typically recorded as a measure of absorption. This requires an X-ray detector with sufficient s…

We propose a flexible stretchable energy harvesting device by implementing permselective pores on a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) sheet for the direct energy conversion of pressure to electrical power. The devices consist of five layers of PDMS, giving full flexibility to the devices. From current–voltage ( I – V ) me…
