A method of low-angle mid-IR light scattering is shown to be applicable for the contactless and non-destructive inspection of the internal gettering process in CZ Si crystals. A classifcation of scattering inhomogeneities in initial crystals and crystals subjected to the getting process is presented.
Czochralski-grown boron-doped silicon crystals were studied by the techniques of the low-angle mid-IR-light scattering and electron-beam-induced current. The large-scale accumulations of electrically-active impurities detected in this material were found to be different in their nature and formation mechanisms from th…
An alkaline-type direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) using a natural clay electrolyte with non-platinum catalysts is proposed. So-called hydrotalcite clay, Mg–Al layered double hydroxide intercalated with CO₃²⁻, is shown to be a hydroxide ion conductor. An alkaline-type DEFC using this natural clay as the electrolyte and…
Abstract Cyclin A 2 is a prognostic indicator in early‐stage cancer. However, since most of peptide‐protein bindings do not produce an easily measurable output signal, this severely hinders homogeneous detection of protein using peptide as detection probe. Cyclin A 2 can be detected as low as 0.6 μ M using a well‐know…
We study the conductivity of a graphene strip taking into account electrostatically induced charge accumulation on its edges. Using a local dependency of the conductivity on the carrier concentration we find that the electrostatic size effect in doped graphene strip of the width of 0.5–3 μm can result in a significant…
The operation principles of nanoscale devices are based upon both electronic and mechanical properties of materials. Because these properties can be coupled, they need to be investigated simultaneously. At this moment, however, the electronic structure calculations with custom-made long-range mechanical distortions ar…
The spatial fluctuations of deformation are studied in the creep in Andrade's power law and the logarithmic phases, using paper samples. Measurements by the digital image correlation technique show that the relative strength of the strain rate fluctuations increases with time, in both creep regimes. In the Andrade cre…
We report our detailed investigation of high-resolution imaging using secondary electrons (SE) with a subnanometer probe in an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope, Hitachi HD2700C. This instrument also allows us to acquire the corresponding annular-dark-field (ADF) images simultaneously and separatel…
The strongly enhanced and localized optical fields that occur within the gaps between metallic nanostructures can be leveraged for a wide range of functionality in nanophotonic and optical metamaterial applications. Here, we introduce a means of precise control over these nanoscale gaps through the application of a mo…
The microporosity of two microporous polymer networks is investigated in detail. Both networks are based on a central spirobifluorene motif but have different linker groups, namely, imide and thiophene units. The microporosity of the networks is based on the "polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM)" design strategy.…
We elucidate on the low mobility and charge traps of the chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets by measuring and analyzing temperature dependent current-voltage characteristics. The RGO sheets were assembled between source and drain electrodes via dielectrophoresis. At low bias voltage the conduction is Ohmic…
An air bubble driven by ultrasound can become shape-unstable through a parametric instability. We report time-resolved optical observations of shape oscillations (mode n=2 to 6) of micron-sized single air bubbles. The observed mode number n was found to be linearly related to the ambient radius of the bubble. Above th…
Hierarchical dendritic gold microstrutures (HDGMs) with secondary and tertiary branches are directly electrodeposited on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate without the use of any templates, surfactants, or stabilizers. The effects of electrodeposition potential and HAuCl 4 concentration on the formation of HDGMs and…
We report the first observation of linear magnetoresistance (LMR) in multilayer epitaxial graphene grown on SiC. We show that multilayer epitaxial graphene exhibits large LMR from 2.2 K up to room temperature and that it can be best explained by a purely quantum mechanical model. We attribute the observation of LMR to…
Ag-capped Au nanopillar arrays on a resin supporter (see left upper figure), with a typical adjacent pillar tip gap of 10 nm, show obviously higher surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivity (right column in red) than that of the bare Au nanopillar array while using 10 nM R6G as probe molecules. The large-ar…
Thermal decomposition of citric acid, trans - and cis -aconitic acid has been studied using the TG-MS, TG-FTIR and DSC techniques. The measurements were carried out in an argon atmosphere over a temperature range of 293–673 K. The influence of the acid structures and configurational geometry on stability of the transi…
Abstract The detonation nanodiamond is a versatile low‐cost nanomaterial with tunable properties and surface chemistry. In this work, it is shown how the application of nanodiamond (ND) can greatly increase the performance of electrochemically active polymers, such as polyaniline (PANI). Symmetric supercapacitors cont…
Abstract An increasing number of applications using ultraviolet radiation have renewed interest in ultraviolet photodetector research. Particularly, solar‐blind photodetectors sensitive to only deep UV (<280 nm), have attracted growing attention because of their wide applicability. Among recent advances in UV detec…
p -type BiCuSeO, a layered oxyselenide composed of conductive (Cu2Se2)2− layers alternately stacked with insulating (Bi2O2)2+ layers, shows an enhancement of the electrical conductivity after substituting Bi3+ by Sr2+, from 470 S m−1 (BiCuSeO) to 4.8×104 S m−1 (Bi0.85Sr0.15CuSeO) at 293 K. Coupled to high Seebeck coef…
A unique Eu3+/Tb3+ luminescent self-referencing nanothermometer allowing absolute measurements in the 10–350 K temperature range and sub-micrometer spatial resolution is reported (see Figure). It has up to 4.9%·K−1 temperature sensitivity and high photostability for long-term use. The combination of molecular thermome…
