The photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation (PLE) properties of Sn-implanted SiO2 layers thermally grown on crystalline Si have been investigated and compared with those from Ge- and Si-implanted SiO2 layers. In detail, the violet PL of Sn-implanted SiO2 layers is approximately two and 20 times higher than those of G…
Several alkenyl diphenyldiacetylene liquid crystals were synthesized and their physical properties evaluated. The introduction of a double bond in the side chain leads to an unexpectedly wide nematic range and an extraordinarily large figure of merit at elevated temperatures. These liquid crystals are particularly att…
The kinetic behavior of quasicrystalline phase formation in amorphous Zr65Al7.5Cu12.5Ni10Ag5 alloys has been studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffractometry, and transmission electron microscopy. DSC trace obtained during continuous heating from 473 to 873 K shows two distinct exotherms…
Nanoparticles of Eu2O3 and Tb2O3 have been prepared using ultrasound radiation and were deposited sonochemically on microspherical alumina particles. In a different sonochemical reaction Eu2O3 and Tb2O3 were doped into nanophased alumina particles. For both systems the decay times of the fluorescence was measured. The…
We report structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties of compositionally graded (Pb,La)TiO3 thin films on LaNiO3/SiO2/Si substrates, where all the films were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The crystalline orientation and surface morphology of the graded films were closely related to the deposition sequenc…
Highly (0001)-oriented YMnO3 thin films on Si(100) substrates were obtained by using a stable precursor solution and rapid thermal annealing at a low temperature of 650 °C in a chemical solution deposition process. Temperature-dependent capacitance–voltage (C–V) and current–voltage (I–V) characteristics were discussed…
Measurements using TGA, SEM, Raman spectroscopy and XRD reveal that diamond oxidizes at around 750 K through oxygen impinging into the densely packed {111} planes throughout the course of the reaction. It is also found that diamond graphitizes under vacuum at about 1100 K without orientation preference, which also occ…
Employing quartz crystal resonators, we have measured the elastic compliance of thin polymers films doped with an azobenzene dye. From a comparison of the shifts of resonance frequency on different acoustic overtones of the resonator, the films’ elastic compliance was derived. Upon irradiation with ultraviolett light…
The connectivity of the potential energy landscape in supercooled atomic liquids is investigated through a calculation of the instantaneous normal modes spectrum and a detailed analysis of the unstable directions in configuration space. We confirm the hypothesis that the mode-coupling critical temperature is the T at…
Ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films deposited on metal foil substrates are suitable for developing a wide range of applications. In this letter, we report on PZT films deposited on a variety of foils, including titanium, stainless steel, brass, and nickel alloys, using sol–gel processing. The dielec…
The pyroelectric coefficient and pyroelectric infrared response in the sol–gel derived Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 thin films have been studied for possible infrared detector applications. The measured pyroelectric coefficient is larger than 3.1×10−4 C/m2 K at temperatures ranging from 10 to 26 °C and reaches the maximum value of…
All-solid-state electrochromic reflectance devices for thermal emittance modulation were designed for operation in the spectral region from mid- to far-infrared wavelengths (2–40 μm). All device constituent layers were grown by magnetron sputtering. The electrochromic (polycrystalline WO3), ion conductor (Ta2O5), and…
Dense and entirely nanocrystalline diamond–SiC ceramics were synthesized by the infiltration of liquid Si into the nanodiamond body under high-pressure (77 kbar) and high-temperature (1400–2000 °C) conditions. Based on x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy observations, a model of as-synthesized mater…
A reflective polarizer consisting of two layers of 190 nm period metal gratings was fabricated using nanoimprint lithography. Measurements with a He–Ne laser (wavelength=632.8 nm) showed that at normal incidence, this polarizer reflects light polarized perpendicular to the grating lines (transverse magnetic polarizati…
Magnetization of polycrystalline La1−xSrxMnO3 samples with x=0.13 and x=0.16 has been measured as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. Using the gathered data and the thermodynamic Maxwell’s relation, changes of the magnetic contribution to entropy under influence of the magnetic field, allowing to e…
Key circumstance of radical progress for technology of XXI century is the development of a technique which provides controllable producing three-dimensional patterns incorporating regions of nanometer sizes and required physical and chemical properties. Our paper for the first time proposes the method of purposeful di…
We present a fully three-dimensional theoretical study of the extraordinary transmission of light through subwavelength hole arrays in optically thick metal films. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data. An analytical minimal model is also developed, which conclusively shows that the enhancement of transmis…
We show that an electrical shift current is generated when electrons are photoexcited from the valence to conduction bands on a BN nanotube. This photocurrent follows the light pulse envelope and its symmetry is controlled by the atomic structure of the nanotube. We find that the shift current has an intrinsic quantum…
An insulator-to-metal transition below 240 K is induced by applying a 7 T magnetic field in Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 thin films grown by the pulsed laser deposition technique on [100]-SrTiO3 substrates. This value of the melting magnetic field, much lower that the one required in bulk (∼20 T), is assumed to be an effect of the…
Simulations of the kinetic friction due to a layer of adsorbed molecules between two crystalline surfaces are presented. The adsorbed layer naturally produces friction that is consistent with Amontons' laws and insensitive to parameters that are not controlled in experiments. The kinetic friction rises logarithmically…
