We calculate the free energies of unstable stacking fault (USF) configurations on the glide and shuffle slip planes in silicon as a function of temperature, using the recently developed Environment Dependent Interatomic Potential (EDIP). We employ the molecular dynamics (MD) adiabatic switching method with appropriate…
We discuss how simulations of mechanical properties of materials require descriptions at many different length scales --- from the nanoscale where an atomic description is appropriate, through a mesoscale where dislocation based descriptions may be useful, to macroscopic length scales. In some materials, such as nanoc…
Individual dendrimer molecules of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) from generation 10 (G10) to G5 were imaged by conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after staining with aqueous sodium phosphotungstate. The dendrimers were resolved as separate, beam-stable entities, and their sizes and distribution of sizes wer…
Various single layer reflective polarizers are introduced based on cholesteric liquid crystal materials containing one polymeric liquid crystal component and other non-reactive liquid crystals. A non-linear pitch gradient has been created during a process called polymerization induced molecular re-distribution. The po…
We report the results of a density-functional study of the diffusion of Pt dimers on the (111) surface of Pt. The calculated activation energy of 0.37 eV is in {\em exact} agreement with the recent experiment of Kyuno {\em et al.} \protect{[}Surf. Sci. {\bf 397}, 191 (1998)\protect{]}. Our calculations establish that…
This is a response to a recent paper by van Dongen, Uhrig, and E. Müller-Hartmann. We clarify the issues, which the above authors apparently did not fully appreciate, by referring to the microscopic foundations of Landau's Fermi Liquid Theory, its general application to the theory of metals and the theory of local Fer…
The low-temperature DC-transport properties of doped conducting polymers on the metallic side of the metal-insulator transition are analysed with modern localization-interaction theories. The DC conductivity at the lowest temperatures is governed by the 3D electron-electron interaction formula , while the magnetocondu…
Vacancy ordering was directly observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) at the heterointerface of GaSe/GaAs(100) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Ga2Se3 crystalline film forms immediately to the GaAs (100) substrate, acting as an intermediate layer with thickness of 1.6–3.2 nm between the Ga…
We report that the thermally activated conductivity in several fullerene systems obeys the Meyer–Nelder (MN) rule, σ=σ00eΔE/kT0e−ΔE/kT. We found that the MN conductivity σ00 and the characteristic energy kT0 have a strong correlation, which is in good agreement with the prediction of the model proposed by Crandall [R.…
We studied the vibrational modes of H-doped nanocrystalline Pd $\mathrm{H}/\mathrm{Pd}\ensuremath{\le}0.04)$ by neutron spectroscopy, using the small H content as a probe for a separate determination of the vibrations of Pd atoms at surfaces and/or grain boundaries. We find that these atoms are responsible for the add…
Thin film trilayer junction of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3-SrTiO3-La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 shows a factor of 9.7 change in resistance, in a magnetic field around 100 Oe at 14 K. The junction magnetoresistance is bias and temperature dependent. The energy scales associated with bias and temperature dependence are an order of magnitude ap…

Polycondensation of molecular adamantanoid [Ge4S10]4− precursors at a remarkably low temperature (50°C) affords the crystalline binary dichalcogenide δ-GeS2. Its crystal structure contains two interpenetrating cristobalite-like frameworks composed of adamantanoid [Ge4S6S4/2] building blocks. Rings containing 24 atoms…
When a film of poly[2-(4-phenylazophenyloxy)ethyl methacrylate] is subjected to irradiation with nonpolarized 436 nm light for n-π* excitation at an oblique incident angle with respect to a film surface, dichroism is induced as a result of the reorientation of azobenzene chromophores. The orientational direction is de…
We report a new stress-induced kinetically driven morphological instability for driven systems. The effect of stress on the interfacial mobility couples to stress variations along a perturbed planar growth front. Comparison of theory and experiment for solid phase epitaxy at a corrugated Si(001) interface, with no fre…
Carbon nitride (CN) thin films were prepared at 600 °C by rf plasma pulsed laser deposition. As we increased the magnitude of the negative dc bias voltage, the CN bonds were transformed from a mixture of sp2 C–N and sp3 C–N states into a CN phase predominated by tetrahedral CN bonds. A biasing threshold of this transf…
We have observed strong emission lines at 5.27 and 5.12 eV at room temperature in cathodoluminescence spectra from homoepitaxial diamond films grown by step-flow mode prepared with microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The temperature dependence of integrated intensity of the emission lines indicates th…
Optical absorption spectra of the -doped fluorophosphate glasses 75 (A = Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn), 75 and 58 have been recorded. The dipole strengths are parametrized in terms of three phenomenological Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters ( , 4 and 6). With the knowledge of these intensity parameters, the probability for spontaneou…
Na 0.5 K 0.5 NbO 3 thin films have been grown on LaAlO3(001) substrates using rf magnetron sputtering from a Na and K enriched target. X-ray diffraction showed that the films are epitaxial with mosaic broadening as narrow as 0.044°. Interdigital Au finger electrodes were photolithographically defined on the film surfa…
We report on the observation of luminescence during electron field emission on singlewall and multiwall carbon nanotubes. Spectra acquired at different emitted currents, as well as the dependence of the luminescence intensity with the current, show that the light emission is not due to blackbody radiation or to curren…
