Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are considered as a promising cold electron emission material owing to their negative electron affinity. BNNT field emitters show excellent oxidation endurance after high temperature thermal annealing of 600 °C in air ambient. There is no damage to the BNNTs after thermal annealing at a…

We demonstrate an analogue of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) in a magnetoelastic metamaterial system and experimentally realize nonlinear electromagnetic tuning of this EIT-like transmission. We study a single meta-molecule, consisting of two split-ring resonators (SRRs) and one closed-ring resonator,…

Iron chalcogenides are of great interest because they have the simplest structure in the Fe based superconductor family, and show low anisotropies, high upper critical fields and high critical current densities. These compounds can, therefore, be considered as reference materials to study the behaviour of all layered…

ABSTRACT The high interfacial tension between two immiscible phases in a polymer blend often prevents a homogenous stress distribution. Therefore, blends of Nylon 6 (Ny6) and polypropylene (PP) were compatibilized using two commercially available types of PP grafted with maleic anhydride (MAPP) with a low (∼2 %) and a…

The magnetoelectric transport behavior with respect to the thicknesses of ultrathin La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 films is investigated in detail. The metal-insulator phase transition, which has never been observed in bulk La0.9Sr0.1MnO3, is found in ultrathin films with thicknesses larger than 6 unit cells. Low-temperature resistiv…

We measure the in-plane thermal conductance of mesoporous Ge and SiGe thin films using the Raman-shift method and, based on a finite differences simulation accounting for the geometry of the sample, extract the in-plane thermal conductivity. For a suspended thin film of laser-sintered SiGe nanoparticles doped with pho…

ABSTRACT Preparation of zero‐dimensional and one‐dimensional nanostructures of polyaniline (PANI) were achieved by using swollen liquid crystals (SLCs) as ‘soft' templates. The monomer (aniline) was first entrapped in SLCs by replacing the oil phase (cyclohexane) with a mixture of aniline and cyclohexane. Zero‐dimensi…

We report on the characterization of Fe(Se,Te) grain boundary junctions fabricated on a 45° tilt symmetric bicrystal substrate. The junctions show critical current densities of the order of 104 A/cm2, showing a decay of about one order of magnitude with respect to the critical current density of the film, which is ver…

We report confinement of ferroelectric domain-wall motion at conducting-nanofilament wall in epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film on Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate. The BiFeO3 film exhibited well-defined ferroelectric response and unipolar resistive switching behavior. We artificially formed conducting-nanofilaments in the BiFeO3 vi…
