Abstract Single crystals of L‐Prolinium tartrate (C 5 H 10 NO 2 ) + (C 4 H 5 O 6 ) ‐ , a new organic non‐linear optical material of size: 15 × 10 × 10 mm 3 were grown using submerged seed solution growth method. Characterization of the crystals was made using single crystal X‐ray diffraction and density determination.…

In this paper a model of single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) interactions with thermal plasma is developed. Several effects such as momentum, charge and energy transfer between the SWNT and plasma are considered. It is shown that the SWNT charge and potential with respect to the plasma, as well as SWNT aspect ratio, de…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with high covalent bonding density of polymer layers have been prepared by a “grafting to” approach, where the benzyl chloride groups of styrene copolymers ( M n = 47 600) reacted with the alkyne groups on SWNTs under relatively mild conditions, resulting in a higher grafting eff…

The chlorination of ferrocene at 900 °C yields very interesting carbon hollow nanospheres (CHNSs) with diameters of ∼50−150 nm and ∼12−25 nm thick walls. X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy shows no traces of chlorine or iron and the π*/σ* ratio of the carbon bonding was quantified by electron energy-loss spectroscop…

Carbon nanostructures have received much attention for a wide range of applications. This paper reviews the historical role of plasmas in the gas-phase synthesis of carbon nanostructures and the present plasma technologies for industrial production purposes. It enumerates the advantages and disadvantages with respect…

The effect of fractal normal-phase clusters on vortex dynamics in a percolative superconductor is considered. The superconductor contains percolative superconducting cluster carrying a transport current and clusters of a normal phase, acting as pinning centers. A prototype of such a structure is YBCO film, containing…

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to examine single-asperity friction as a function of load, surface orientation, and sliding direction on individual crystalline grains of diamond in the wearless regime. Experimental and simulation conditions were designed…

The inter-Landau level transitions observed in far-infrared transmission experiments on few-layer graphene samples show a behaviour characteristic of the linear dispersion expected in graphene. This behaviour persists in relatively thick samples, and is qualitatively different from that of thin samples of bulk graphit…

The temporal evolution of step-edge fluctuations under electromigration conditions is analysed using a continuum Langevin model. If the electromigration driving force acts in the step up/down direction, and step-edge diffusion is the dominant mass-transport mechanism, we find that significant deviations from the usual…

We propose a new concept for the design of high-efficiency photocells based on ultra-thin (submicron) semiconductor films of controlled thickness. Using a microscopic model of a thin dielectric layer interacting with incident electromagnetic radiation we evaluate the efficiency of conversion of solar radiation into th…

Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCS) based on the nonlinear optical response of excitons to sequences of ultrafast pulses, has the potential to provide some unique insights into carrier dynamics in semiconductors. The most prominent feature of 2DCS, cross peaks, can best be understood using a sum-over-state…

The fundamentals of the energy level alignment at anode and cathode electrodes in organic electronics are described. We focus on two different models that treat weakly interacting organic/metal (and organic/organic) interfaces: the induced density of interfacial states model and the so-called integer charge transfer m…

High quality single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have been synthesized at large scales by the method of direct evaporation of carbon black and metallic catalyst mixtures, using induction thermal plasma technology. The processing system consists mainly of an RF plasma torch, which generates a plasma jet of extremely…

Under an in-plane magnetic field, the density of states of quasi two-dimensional carriers deviates from the occasionally stereotypic step-like form both quantitatively and qualitatively. For the first time, we study how this affects the spin-subband populations and the spin-polarization as functions of the temperature…

In response to the comment of Kenzelmann and Harris I show how the continuum theory of spiral multiferroics can be modified to describe general magnetic orders and discuss why the microscopic mechanism of magnetically-induced ferroelectricity usually makes such modifications unnecessary. This explains why the simple m…
