The oxide ion conductivity of apatite‐type lanthanum silicates has been enhanced by cation doping into both La and Si sites. The Sr and Nd fill vacancies on the La site by creating excess oxide ions and increasing the conductivity. Al and Mg, which substitute for Si at a fixed oxygen content, result in an enhancement…

Here, a novel method for testing ultra‐high‐temperature ceramics (UHTC) at a high temperature, rapidly, at a low cost is introduced. A self‐supported, self‐heated ribbon specimen is used with a table‐top apparatus to achieve the necessary high temperatures. This method enables a large temperature–time–composition para…

Nearly monodisperse PbWO 4 and CaWO 4 microspheres have been synthesized in large scale by a surfactant-assisted solution route, in which either sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDS) or cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) is used. By controlling the solution reaction conditions, such as temperature, surfactant, and…

We report a computational first-principles study of positron trapping at vacancy defects in metals and semiconductors. The main emphasis is on the energetics of the trapping process including the interplay between the positron state and the defect's ionic structure and on the ensuing annihilation characteristics of th…

We investigate the spin state of LaCoO3 using state-of-the-art photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio band structure calculations. The GGA+U calculations provide a good description of the ground state for the experimentally estimated value of electron correlation strength, U. In addition to the correlation effect, s…

Here we report the magnetic and heat capacity studies of the double perovskite com-pounds Ba2SmRuO6 and Ba2DyRuO6. Antiferromagnetic transitions are inferred at 54 K and 47 K in Ba2SmRuO6 and Ba2DyRuO6, respectively in the magnetization measure-ments. Heat capacity measurements show large jumps at the corresponding te…

We demonstrate light emitting devices (LEDs) with a broad spectral emission generated by electroluminescence from a mixed-monolayer of red, green, and blue emitting colloidal quantum dots (QDs) in a hybrid organic/inorganic structure. The colloidal QDs are reproducibly synthesized and yield high luminescence efficienc…

Mastery over the shape of a nanostructure enables control over its properties and usefulness for a given application. By controlling the crystallinity of the seeds from which nanostructures grow and the rate of atomic addition to seeds, we selectively produced pentagonal nanowires, cuboctahedra, nanocubes, nanobars, b…

We propose a mechanical model of a penetrator equipped with a jet thruster. Using analytical and numerical methods we determine the optimum burning programs and compared the obtained results with more simple burning programs for controlling motion of a penetrator. We demonstrate that using a jet thruster bears a consi…

An array of identical carbon nanotubes mounted on a metallic plate in the presence of a vertical electric field executes collective vibrations parallel to the metallic plate. The dispersion relation for these vibrations is deduced. The characteristic parameters are the length, radius and Young's modulus of the tubes,…

The formation of thin alumina films directly on Si is reported. Galvanostatic and potentiostatic anodization in two- and three- electrode cell configurations are compared. Control of the electrode potential with a 3-electrode setup provides faster pore formation and organization than with control of the cell potential…

Material tensors are identified in ferroelectric nanostructures via the use of first-principles-based simulations and analytical developments. In particular, one of such tensors represents a form of electromechanical coupling occurring at the nanoscale, while another tensor can be considered as analogous of dielectric…
