Mn thin films were deposited in situ on molecular beam epitaxy grown GaAs(001) surfaces at 0 °C. Postgrowth anneals of the Mn/GaAs samples were done at 200, 300, and 400 °C for times ranging from 0.5 to 30 h. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy show that for…

We present results from kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of diffusion in a model glass former. We find that the diffusion constants obtained from KMC simulations have Arrhenius temperature dependence, while the correct behavior, obtained from molecular dynamics simulations, can be super-Arrhenius. We conclude tha…

At sufficiently high frequency and low temperature, the dielectric responses of glassy, crystalline, and molten ionic conductors all invariably exhibit nearly constant loss. This ubiquitous characteristic occurs in the short-time regime when the ions are still caged, indicating that it could be a determining factor of…

The hydrogen storage performance of body-centered cubic (bcc) phase Ti–20Cr–12Mn–24V–5Fe alloy is reported. It was found that the alloy has better activation property, flatter hydrogen absorption–desorption pressure plateau, lower cost, and larger hydrogen storage capacity. Compared to as-cast sample, the pressure pla…

Abstract Rice hulls, a byproduct of the rice industry, contain 60–90% silica and are unique within nature. The annual worldwide output of rice‐hull‐derived silica is more than 3.2 million tons, which poses environmental concerns because of disposal issues.

We report an alternative technique which utilizes fast-proton irradiation prior to electrochemical etching for three-dimensional microfabrication in bulk p-type silicon. The proton-induced damage increases the resistivity of the irradiated regions and acts as an etch stop for porous silicon formation. A raised structu…
