Making good electrical contacts to nanodevice channels is crucial for device performance. Carbon-based nanomaterials are studied and compared to each other as the contact materials for graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) by atomistic quantum transport simulations. A monolayer graphene that has an AB stacking structure on the…

Block copolymers forming glassy spheres in the matrix of rubbery chains can exhibit elastomeric properties. It is well known that the spherical microdomains are arranged in the body-center cubic (bcc) lattice. However, recently, we have found packing in the face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice, which is easily transforme…

We have measured shot noise in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes of length L=1 μm and have found strong suppression of noise with increasing voltage. We conclude that the coupling of electron and phonon baths at temperatures Te and Tph is described at intermediate bias (20 mV<Vds≲200 mV) by heat flow equa…

Polyaniline (PANI) microtubes with a hexagonal cross-section are successfully synthesized by a self-assembly process in the presence of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (HQS) as a dopant and FeCl(3) as an oxidant. The wall thickness of the PANI/HQS microtubes can be adjusted by the content of the oxidant. It is prop…

The effect of titanium on magnesium nanoparticle formation is investigated in relation to the importance of Mg in hydrogen storage. Addition of Ti reduces the Mg-nanoparticle sizes in the range of 5–20 nm and leads to less protective Mg-oxide shells. This in return accelerates the evaporation of Mg that leads to hollo…

The pedogenic development of volcanic ash mantles within the interior U.S. Pacific Northwest is thought to be a function of the interaction between climatic regimes, plant communities, eolian reworking, and colluvial mixing with subsurface soil parent materials. Little research, however, quantitatively characterizes t…

Dy 53.8 Co 17.3 Al 28.9 bulk metallic glass with a diameter of 3 mm exhibits spin-glass behavior and large coercivity and remanence. Hydrogenation of Dy53.8Co17.3Al28.9 suppresses the magnetic transition temperature and removes coercivity and remanence because of the expansion of average interatomic distance. The adva…

The production of a cultured pearl is the result of a complex interplay between the donor and recipient oysters. However, there is a paucity of information on the relationship between donor and recipient oyster gene expression patterns and pearl quality. Shell matrix proteins affect not only the formation of the shell…

We report on the electronic properties of both amorphous and polycrystalline zinc-indium oxide thin films with similar degenerate electron concentrations just above the insulator-to-metal transition. The highest electron mobilities occur in amorphous oxide films deposited at 100 °C; for these, structural disorder is o…

A series of Fréchet dendronized poly(p-benzamide)s have been synthesized. To attach the dendron-functionalities to the poly(p-benzamide) backbone, a propargyl side chain was introduced to p-aminobenzoic acid. Then, copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was used to click a first generation (G(1)), respectively, a…

The 2π-steradian (full hemisphere) Si 2p and C 1s photoelectron intensity angular distributions (PIADs) of the 6H-SiC(0001) surface 4° off towards the [1\bar100] direction were measured. In a bulk crystal, pairs of mirrored local atomic sites with respect to the 1\bar100 planes exist. Thus, a sixfold symmetry is expec…

Electronic and magnetic properties of bilayer zigzag graphene nanoribbon (bZGNR) are studied using pseudopotential density functional method. The edge atoms in the top and bottom layers of bZGNR make a weak hybridization, which leads to electronic structures different from monolayer ZGNR. For asymmetric bZGNR, where t…
