The high cohesive interaction between reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets usually makes them difficult to disperse, which limits their utilization in achieving effective hybridization with polymers. We report here a new two-step route for preparing non-aggregated and high-conductive RGO powders. Graphene oxide precurs…

The diatom silicified cell wall (frustule) contains pore arrays at the micro- to nanometer scale that display efficient luminescence within the visible spectrum. Morphometric analysis of the size and arrangement of pores was conducted to observe whether any correlation exists with the photoluminescence (PL) of two dia…

Heavily Nb-doped anatase TiO2 (TNO) thin films were prepared by pulsed dc magnetron sputtering using an Nb-doped TiO2 target. The as-grown films exhibit high resistivity whose resistance decreases by ~2 × 104-fold upon vacuum annealing. The ~40% Nb-doped anatase TiO2 film shows a low resistivity of 5.7 × 10−4 Ω cm and…

Spin-electromagnetic waves propagating in thin-film multilayered multiferroic structures containing a slot transmission line have been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The thin-film structure was composed of a ferrite film, a ferroelectric film, and a slot-line. It was shown that the spectrum of the…
