Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and rheological measurements were performed on aqueous silk fibroin solutions extracted from the middle division of Bombyx mori silkworm over a wide range of polymer concentration C from 0.08 to 27.5 wt %. DLS results obtained in the dilute region of C less than 1 wt % are consistent wit…
In this paper, we investigate the low frequency Raman spectra of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT's) prepared by the electric arc method. Low frequency Raman modes are unambiguously identified on purified samples thanks to the small internal diameter of the MWNT's. We propose a model to describe these modes. They or…
We have studied the adsorption of Hg atoms onto gold and silver nanoparticles by optical spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Mercury adsorption induces a blue shift of the surface plasmon mode of gold and silver nanoparticles. Two tren…
In the present study, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, photoluminescence, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques were used to study the effect of 120 MeV Ag9+107 ion irradiation on nanocrystalline Cu2O thin films grown by the activated reactive evaporation technique. The infl…
We show that a layered material, with alternating layers having negative permittivity (ε<0) and negative permeability (μ<0), responds to electromagnetic fields in many ways like a homogeneous left-handed material with ε<0 and μ<0. In particular, such a layered structure supports electromagn…
Electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) is performed with multiwalled carbon nanotube emitters that are assembled to atomic force microscope cantilevers through nanorobotic manipulations. A typical experiment shows that under 120 V bias, field emission current 2 μA occurs from a nanotube emitter. In comparison with co…
We present results for electronic transport measurements on large three-dimensional arrays of CdSe nanocrystals. In response to a step in the applied voltage, we observe a power-law decay of the current over five orders of magnitude in time. Furthermore, we observe no steady-state dark current for fields up to ${10}^{…
Electromigration in on-chip Cu interconnections with a selective electroless metal coating, CoWP, CoSnP, or Pd, on the top surface of Cu damascene lines has been investigated. The 10–20 nm thick metal cap significantly improves electromigration lifetime by providing protection against interface diffusion of Cu which h…
We report herein the mechanism of the photochemical ligand substitution reactions of a series of fac-[Re(X(2)bpy)(CO)(3)(PR(3))](+) complexes (1) and the properties of their triplet ligand-field ((3)LF) excited states. The reason for the photostability of the rhenium complexes [Re(X(2)bpy)(CO)(3)(py)](+) (3) and [Re(X…
The nature of liquid structures with their changing behaviors remains an unsolved fundamental problem in many fields of science and technology. It has been widely accepted that liquid structures change gradually with temperature and/or pressure. With x-ray diffraction in the melt In-Sn80, however, we have confirmed th…
We have carried out a detailed Rietveld analysis of x-ray powder diffraction data of Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 (PZT) compositions across the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region (x=0.515, 0.520, 0.525, 0.530). It is shown that the structure of PZT is pure tetragonal for x⩽0.515 with space group P4mm. In the MPB region, 0.515…
The technologically important problem of predicting Auger recombination lifetimes in semiconductors is addressed by means of a fully first--principles formalism. The calculations employ highly precise energy bands and wave functions provided by the full--potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) code based on…
We study mechanism of magnetic energy transport, motivated by recent measurements of the thermal conductivity in low dimensional quantum magnets. We point out a possible mechanism of enhancement of the thermal conductivity in gapped magnetic system, where the magnetic energy transport plays a crucial role. This mechan…
The isothermal crystallization of thin amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 films, sandwiched between Si3N4 dielectric layers, was followed in real time using in situ transmission electron microscopy. A temperature-dependent incubation time is observed. After this incubation time, the crystallization is found to follow Johnson–Mehl–Av…
We have studied the thermoelectric properties of the stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric Heusler compounds ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{V}}_{1+x}M$ $(M=\mathrm{Al},$ Ga) between 10 and 300 K. Seebeck coefficient (S) measurements indicate that stoichiometric ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}\mathrm{VAl}$ and ${\mathrm{…
Randomly oriented and vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition varying the growth temperature between 550 °C and 850 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to investigate the growth process and in particular the role of the Ni catalyst. It was found that a catalyti…
The critical fusion reactor design issue of tritium codeposition in tokamaks with carbon as wall material is closely linked with the plasma chemistry involving hydrocarbons. A complete set of cross sections for all important electron- and proton-impact processes with CHy (y=1–4) hydrocarbon impurities and their ions C…
The present work is essentially focused on the study of optical and structural properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films (a-Si:H) prepared by radio-frequency cathodic sputtering. We examine separately the influence of hydrogen partial pressure during film deposition, and the effect of post-deposition the…
The first detection and characterization of the interactions between the f-electronic systems in the dinuclear complexes of paramagnetic trivalent Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb ions with phthalocyanine ligands are presented. The molar magnetic susceptibilities, chi(m), were measured for PcLnPcLnPc* ([Ln, Ln]; Pc = dianio…
The adsorption of CO and the electrochemical oxidation of a CO adlayer on stepped Pt electrodes, Pt(443), Pt(332), and Pt(322), has been studied using in situ infrared reflection−absorption spectroscopy (IRAS). Coverage-dependent and potential-dependent spectra of CO adlayers on stepped Pt surfaces are reported. Infra…
