In nanowire growth using vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism, controlling catalyst diffusion has been a key issue since VLS growth is essentially no longer feasible in the absence of catalyst on the tip. Here the authors demonstrate the controllability of catalyst diffusion on MgO nanowire growth by ambient pressure an…
Lignocellulosic materials can significantly contribute to the development of composites, since it is possible to chemically and/or physically modify their main components, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. This may result in materials more stable and with more uniform properties. It has previously been shown that…
Comprehensive three-dimensional dissipative particle dynamics simulations are carried out to elucidate the diffusion mechanism of a strongly adsorbed polymer chain on a solid surface in dilute solutions. We find Rouse and reptation dynamics for polymer chain diffusing on smooth and rough surfaces (with obstacles or st…
The authors found that the level of amorphization or structural disorder in boron carbide is higher when induced by dynamic indentation compared to static indentation. Visible and uv Raman spectroscopies indicate that sp2-bonded aromatic carbon clusters were formed, consistent with the detected photoluminescence spect…
Abstract The effects of nano and micro roughness as well as the chemical composition of surface treatments on hydrophobicity and self‐cleaning properties of the coated surfaces were studied theoretically and experimentally. Accordingly, relationships were derived between the interfacial adhesion strength of the liquid…
Highly homogeneous, ultrathin films of copper nitride $({\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}\mathrm{N})$ have been grown on Fe(001) at room temperature using a Cu evaporator and a radio-frequency plasma source to obtain atomic nitrogen in a UHV environment. ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}\mathrm{N}$ is a semiconductor with the valence band edge at $…
The control of nanocrystal formation in amorphous alloys is of particular importance for the development of advanced nanocrystalline materials. In the present study, the authors succeeded in controlling α-Fe and Nd2Fe14B nanocrystallization processes in amorphous Nd9Fe85B6 by a combination of severe plastic deformatio…
Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the ferroelectric tetragonal to paraelectric cubic phase transition Tc in undoped BaTiO3 (BT) and (Ba0.92A0.08)TiO3 [where A=Ca (BCT), Sr (BST), and Pb (BPT)]. In BT and BPT, mode characteristic of the tetragonal phase at 303 and 710cm−1 persisted until >50°C above Tc,…
A simple lithographic method is developed to generate large-area antireflective subwavelength structures (SWSs), in which the metal island films are used as masks. Using magnetron sputter deposition, stochastically arranged Ag islands were fabricated on Si substrates with dimensions controlled in the range of 50∼400nm…
We have investigated electronic transport of few-layer graphene (FLG) connected to superconducting electrodes. The device is prepared by mechanical exfoliation of graphite. A small mesa of FLG is connected to two tungsten electrodes, separated by 2.5 μm, grown by focused ion beam. Whereas the tungsten electrodes are s…
The authors report here the enhanced luminescence properties of SrSi2O2N2 doped with Eu and M (M=Ce, Dy, and Mn). The Eu and Eu, Mn-codoped powders were prepared by a solid state reaction at temperatures between 1400 and 1600°C under H2 (25%)–N2 (75%) atmosphere. The Eu, M-codoped Sr1−x−ySi2N2O2 phosphors have the mon…
Evidence of ``twofold'' electromagnetic (EM) enhancement in surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) that exhibits a SERRS enhancement factor of up to ${10}^{14}$ has been analyzed by comparing SERRS spectra and plasmon resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra. We identified that SERRS spectral variations are…
We study the Coulomb drag between two single graphene sheets in intrinsic and extrinsic graphene systems with no interlayer tunneling. The general expression for the nonlinear susceptibility appropriate for single-layer graphene systems is derived using the diagrammatic perturbation theory, and the corresponding exact…
Bi-doped germanium silicate glass is prepared and their optical properties are investigated. The glass sample shows broadband and flat emission characteristics compared with germanate glass. The single-pass optical amplification was measured on a traditional two-wave mixing configuration. Ultrabroadband optical amplif…
Abstract Measured densities of films, consisting of only stereo‐complex (sc) crystals of poly( l ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly( d ‐lactic acid) (PDLA), are sometimes significantly higher than the density of the sc‐crystal calculated on the basis of the previously proposed triclinic and trigonal unit cells. In this wor…
Ultrathin films of highly monodispersed luminescent Si nanoparticles are directly integrated on polycrystalline Si solar cells. The authors monitor the open-circuit voltage and the short circuit current. The results demonstrate that films of 1nm blue luminescent or 2.85nm red luminescent Si nanoparticles produce large…
Room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in Fe-doped PbTiO3 nanocrystals. The magnetism of the nanocrystals develops from diamagnetism to ferromagnetism and the paramagnetism on increasing nominal Fe doping concentration from 0to4mol%. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high-resolution TEM data indica…
This letter reports that adding nanoparticles in the negative dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal (LC) cell can exhibit the properties of vertical alignment without using alignment layers. The electro-optical properties of this nanoparticles-induced vertical alignment in the LC cell are very similar to the conventio…
Magnetoelectric effects are investigated ab initio at the interface between half-metallic and ferroelectric prototypes: Heusler Co2MnSi and perovskite BaTiO3. For the Co-termination ferroelectricity develops in BaTiO3 down to nanometer thicknesses, whereas for the MnSi termination a paraelectric and a ferroelectric st…
An electrical study of thin VO2 films in the vicinity of the structural phase transition at 68°C shows (a) that the electrical resistance R follows log(R)∝−T over the T range, 20<T<80°C covering both sides of the structural transition, and (b) a history dependent hysteresis loop in R upon thermal cycling…
