An ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF 4 ]) solution system has been designed for the morphogenesis and crystallization of Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures at low temperature and ambient atmosphere. Uniform Bi 2 S 3 flowers with a size of 3−5 μm, which are composed of nanowires with a diameter…
Doped Heusler compounds Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$Al with varying Cr to Fe ratio $x$ were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The electronic structure of the ordered, doped Heusler compound Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$Al ($x=n/4, n=0,1,2,3,4)$ was calculated using different types of band structure calculations. T…
Abstract Polystyrene (PS)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites were prepared by solution mixing, followed by film casting. The effects of ZnO nanoparticles on the physical properties of PS were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed that ZnO nanop…
A metamaterial 1:4 series power divider that provides equal power split to all four output ports over a large bandwidth is presented, which can be extended to an arbitrary number of output ports. The divider comprises four nonradiating metamaterial lines in series, incurring a zero insertion phase over a large bandwid…
We have studied the changes in physical and chemical properties of cationic poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride) brushes after collapse driven by ion-pairing interactions in the presence of ClO 4 - anions. Results derived from the quartz crystal microbalance technique, atomic force microscopy, Four…
Germania-glass-based core silica glass cladding single-mode fibers (/spl Delta/n up to 0.143) with a minimum loss of 20 dB/km at 1.9 /spl mu/m were fabricated by the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) method. The fibers exhibit strong photorefractivity with the type-IIa-induced refractive-index modulation of 2/…
The perovskite solid solution system (1-x)BiScO3-(x)PbTiO3 represents an interesting new family of high-temperature piezoelectric materials. Compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (x approximately 0.64) have been reported to have high Curie temperatures (Tc > 450 degrees C) and good piezoelectric coefficien…
Because modern society is strongly dependent on a reliable power supply, there is an urgent need to develop more reliable high voltage insulators. While porcelain and glass have dominated insulator materials for a long period of time, there is renewed interest in polymeric and semiconducting glaze insulators. This pap…
Self-consistent quantum simulations are used to explore the high-frequency performance potential of carbon nantube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). The cutoff frequency expected for a recently reported CNT Schottky-barrier FET is well below the performance limit, due to the large parasitic capacitance between elect…
The target donor-acceptor compound forms an acridinium-like, locally excited (LE) singlet state on illumination with blue or near-UV light. This LE state undergoes rapid charge transfer from the acridinium ion to the orthogonally sited mesityl group in polar solution. The resultant charge-transfer (CT) state fluoresce…
The structural phase transformation in the La2/3Ba1/3MnO3 perovskite manganite was studied by ultrasound, neutron diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. Minima of the velocity and maxima of the decrement of the ultrasound point out the structural transition temperature Ts=200 K. The hysteretic temperature beh…
We report experimental study of spin transport in all-metal nanowire spin valve structures. The nanowires have a diameter of 50 nm and consist of three layers - cobalt, copper and nickel. Based on the experimental observations, we conclude that the primary spin relxation mechanism in the paramagnet copper is the Ellio…
The classical drift diffusion (DD) model of spin transport treats spin relaxation via an empirical parameter known as the ``spin diffusion length''. According to this model, the ensemble averaged spin of electrons drifting and diffusing in a solid decays exponentially with distance due to spin dephasing interactions.…
The Riemannian geometry of elastica in one and two dimensions is considered. An example is given of the deflexion or Frenet curvature of the elastic filament rod where the Riemannian curvature vanishes, since the curve is one dimensional. However the Frenet curvature scalar appears on the Levi-Civita-Christoffel symbo…
This paper examines the properties of the self-energy operator in lattice-matched semiconductor heterostructures, focusing on nonanalytic behavior at small values of the crystal momentum, which gives rise to long-range Coulomb potentials. A nonlinear response theory is developed for nonlocal spin-dependent perturbing…
In this paper a multi-band envelope-function Hamiltonian for lattice-matched semiconductor heterostructures is derived from first-principles norm-conserving pseudopotentials. The theory is applicable to isovalent or heterovalent heterostructures with macroscopically neutral interfaces and no spontaneous bulk polarizat…
Pure noble metals are typically considered to be the materials of choice for a near-field superlens that allows subwavelength resolution by recovering both propagating and evanescent waves. However, a superlens based on bulk metal can operate only at a single frequency for a given dielectric host. In this paper, it is…
We report two-dimensional (2D) electron and hole gases induced at the surface of graphite by the electric field effect. The 2D gases reside within a few near-surface atomic layers and exhibit mobilities up to 15 000 and $60\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}000\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}∕\mathrm{V}\phantom{\r…
Three pyrazolone-based ligands, namely 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(1-naphthoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HL1), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-dimethylaminobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HL2), and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-cyanobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HL3), were synthesized by introducing electron-poor or electron-rich aryl substituents at the 4-position o…
Using atomistic, semiempirical pseudopotential calculations, we show that if one assumes the simplest form of a surface state in a CdSe nanocrystal--an unpassivated surface anion site--one can explain theoretically several puzzling aspects regarding the observed temperature dependence of the radiative decay of exciton…
