We calculate the expected finite frequency neutron-scattering intensity based on the two-sublattice collinear antiferromagnet found by recent neutron-scattering experiments as well as by theoretical analysis on the iron oxypnictide LaOFeAs. We consider two types of superexchange couplings between Fe atoms: nearest-nei…
A high performance liquid crystal display using combined fringe and in-plane horizontal electric fields is proposed. The strong electric fields cause more liquid crystals to reorient almost in plane above and between the pixel electrodes. As a result, the operation voltage is lower and transmittance is higher than tho…
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to measure the valence band offset at the ZnO/Zn0.85Mg0.15O heterojunction grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The valence band offset (ΔEV) is determined to be 0.13 eV. According to the experimental band gap of 3.68 eV for the Zn0.85Mg0.15O, the conduction band o…
Thickness dependence of structural and electrical properties of multiferroic Mn-doped BiFeO3 (BFMO) thin films, grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrates with a bottom electrode of SrRuO3, was investigated. Very good ferroelectric properties were obtained in the thicker BFMO films with a typical remanent polarization of ∼65 μC…
We present a novel optical technique that produces nanometer dimensional measurement sensitivity using a conventional bright-field optical microscope, by analyzing through-focus scanning-optical-microscope images obtained at different focus positions. In principle, this technique can be used to identify which dimensio…
Plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy has been shown to be a viable and practical method for producing high quality tin oxide, SnO2. Phase-pure epitaxial single crystalline SnO2 (101) thin films of 1μm in thickness were reproducibly grown on r-plane sapphire Al2O3 (101¯2) substrates. The SnO2 epitaxy progressed in th…
Nanoparticulate zinc oxide is regarded as one of the most promising inorganic materials for printable field-effect transistors (FETs), which work in the n-channel enhancement mode, due to the compatibility with solution, low-temperature, and high throughput processes. Since nanoparticulate films are composed of the na…
Abstract Born's long wave method is used to study the elastic properties of graphite and graphene. Starting from an empirical force constant model derived from full inplane phonon dispersions of graphite [Mohr et al., Phys. Rev. B 76 , 035439 (2007)] we calculate the tension coefficients of graphene. Extending the mod…
Abstract Well‐faceted hexagonal ZnO nanorods have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method at relative low temperature (90°C) without any catalysts or templates. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were grown in an aqueous solution that contained Zinc chloride (ZnCl 2 , Aldrich, purity 98%) and ammonia (25%). Most of th…
Classical and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out to investigate the effect of a different treatment of interatomic forces in modeling the structural properties of multicomponent glasses and melts. The simulated system is a soda-lime phosphosilicate composition with bioactive properties…
We propose a device for studying the Fermi-Hubbard model with long-range Coulomb interactions using an array of coupled quantum dots defined in a semiconductor two-dimensional electron-gas system. Bands above the lowest energy band are used to form the Hubbard model, so that a high average electron density may be used…
We report 75As-NQR/NMR studies on the oxygen-deficient iron(Fe)-based oxypnictide superconductors LaFeAsO_{0.6} (T_c=28 K) along with the results on LaFeAsO, LaFeAsO_{0.75}(T_c=20 K) and NdFeAsO_{0.6}(T_c=53 K). Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1 of 75As NQR at zero field on LaFeAsO_{0.6} has revealed a T^3 de…
Stable configurations, electronic structures, and magnetic behaviors for N, O, and F absorptions on graphene have been investigated by first-principles calculations. It is found that F atom is located just above the C atom, while both O and N atoms are located above the carbon-carbon bond. Strong interactions between…
The integrity of the basement membrane is essential for tissue cellular growth and is often altered in disease. In this work a method for noninvasively detecting the structural integrity of the basement membrane, based on the delivery of cationic iron-oxide nanoparticles, was developed. Cationic particles accumulate d…
Functionalization of nanoparticles or colloids is increasingly being used to develop customizable "atoms". Functionalization by attaching single strands of DNA allows for direct control of the binding between nanoparticles, since hybridization of double strands will only occur if the base sequences of single strands a…
We consider the energy spectrum of the planar quantum well which consisted of two ribbons of narrow-gap semiconductors and a graphene ribbon between ones. It is shown that the gapless mode appears only in case of inverted narrow-gap semiconductors. Spin splitting of the energy spectrum for a nonsymmetric quantum well…
Abstract Nanocrystalline samples of Zn 1‐x Mn x S (x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.04) were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and characterized for magnetism. EPR studies showed an evidence of ferromagnetism around room temperature. Hysterisis from vibrating sample magnetometer supports the observation. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH…
BACKGROUND: There is significant interest in using nanofibers in tissue engineering from stem cells. The transdifferentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into the hepatic lineage in a nanofibrous structure has not been reported. In this study, a three dimensional nanofibrous scaffold is introduced for differentiation of…
The coordination chemistry of porphyrins has traditionally involved the ability of the porphyrin's tetrapyrrolic core to accommodate metal ions of varying charges and sizes, and on the organometallic chemistry of the resulting metalloporphyrins. However, the organometallic chemistry of porphyrins is not necessarily re…
We have synthesized antiperovskite manganese nitrides Mn3(Cu0.6SixGe0.4−x)N, (x=0–0.2) and investigated their negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the temperature range of 80–300 K. We found that the transition temperature of NTE moves toward lower temperature region and as well the NTE operation-temperature window (ΔT…
