Sol-gel derived PbZrO3 (PZ) thin films have been deposited on Pt(111)∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrate and according to the pseudotetragonal symmetry of PZ, the relatively preferred (110)t oriented phase formation has been noticed. The room temperature P-E hysteresis loops have been observed to be slim by nature. The slim hystere…

In a previous paper analytical equations were derived for the packing fraction of crystalline structures consisting of bimodal randomly placed hard spheres [H. J. H. Brouwers, Phys. Rev. E 76, 041304 (2007)]. The bimodal packing fraction was derived for the three crystalline cubic systems: viz., face-centered cubic, b…

This paper describes the spectral broadening of cholesteric liquid crystal film prepared from a blend comprising a cross-linkable liquid crystal polymer and a non-cross-linkable low-molecular-weight liquid crystal. The spectral broadening arises from the formation of gradient pitch across the film thickness. It is sho…

The structure and the rigidity of a forming biopolymer film were determined using concurrent x-ray diffraction and ultrasonic reflection measurements. Film formation of a xylan solution (de-ionized water, 10g∕l xylan, 4g∕l glycerol) was studied during water evaporation at 24(±2)°C, 37(±5)%RH. X-ray diffraction (XRD) d…

We study the diffusion anisotropy (DA) of point defects in fcc and bcc metals in the presence of an applied biaxial stress. The DA depends sensitively on both the crystalline structure and the crystallographic direction in which the stress is applied. For example, interstitials in fcc metals diffuse faster in the plan…

This is a case report of a 63-year-old man post renal transplant who developed eruptive keloids, many of which developed with no history of previous trauma. Reports of spontaneous keloids are rare in the literature, and given his history of renal failure, we have considered a connection with nephrogenic systemic fibro…

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies and magnetic measurements were carried out on single crystals of multiferroic DyMnO3 in hexagonal as well as orthorhombic structures. The interesting effect of strontium dilution on the frustrated antiferromagnetism of DyMnO3 is also probed using EPR. The line shapes are f…

We investigate the exchange bias phenomenon in the layered cobaltite Sr1.5Pr0.5CoO4 by using magnetometry. The exchange bias is strongly dependent on the cooling magnetic field as well as the measuring field. These results suggest that the exchange coupling at the interfaces between the ferromagnetic (FM) regions and…

Abstract The electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power, and dielectric properties of polyaniline doped by boric acid (PANI‐B) have been investigated. The room temperature electrical conductivity of PANI‐B was found to be 1.02 × 10 −4 S cm −1 . The thermoelectric power factor for the polymer was found to be 0.64 µW…

This work presents ab initio study of strain-induced modulation of band structure of Si. It is shown that at straining pressures >12GPa, band structure of Si can be turned from indirect to direct. Both the bottommost conduction band and topmost valence band are located at the Γ point. The conduction band minimu…

Abstract Homoepitaxial ZnO films deposited on annealed hydrothermal O‐face ZnO single crystals show superior structural quality. This is demonstrated by narrow ZnO(00.2) rocking curves with FWHM of typically 23 to 35 arcsec, and nearly dislocation‐free TEM cross sections. Nominally undoped ZnO films indicate a minor i…

Convex and concave nanodots were created on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) in ambient air by applying a voltage pulse between a metal-coated atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and the sample surface. Using a linear scan with a positive substrate bias, nanoscale lines were also etched on the HOPG surface. Dep…
