Nanoindentation is used to study the mechanical properties at the nanoscale of the ternary Agx(As0.33S0.67)100−x glassy system for 0 ≤ x ≤ 25. Direct evidence for phase separation of a Ag-poor and a Ag-rich phase in the composition range 2 ≤ x ≤ 20 is provided. The volume of the Ag-rich phase increases with x and perc…

We describe a photoresponse measurement study on a pyrene linked ZnS nanoparticles decorated single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) field-effect transistor (FET). We observed that the photocurrent response in the system is based on the semiconducting property of the SWNT. It was found that both the organic molecule link…

The helical flexoelectro-optic effect shows interesting in-plane electro-optic switching behavior due to flexoelectric coupling with applied electric fields. Previous understanding of the behavior has been generally based on an analytic approach that makes certain assumptions about the uniformity of the helical struct…

It is shown that the Mott criterion expressed by the simple relation a B(n c)1/3 ≈ 0.25 turns out to be quite successful in describing metal–insulator phase transitions not only in heavily doped semiconductors, but also in transition metal oxides such as VO2 and V2O3. It is found in this article that, in the case of a…

Abstract Multilayer films consisting of a core layer of nylon 6 sandwiched between two linear low‐density polyethylene layers were produced using a semi‐industrial cast film extrusion line. The core film was produced at different draw ratios from neat nylon and nylon/clay nanocomposite resins. The objective was to ass…

Deuteration of macromolecules is an important technique in neutron protein crystallography. Solvent deuteration of protein crystals is carried out by replacing water (H(2)O) with heavy water (D(2)O) prior to neutron diffraction experiments in order to diminish background noise. The effects of solvent deuteration on th…
