Polybenz‐3,1‐oxazinone‐4 (PBOZ) films are prepared via the thermal rearrangement of poly[(methylene‐bis‐anthranilamide) 4,4′‐diphenyloxidicarboxylic acid] (PAA) films by heating to 300 °C. PAA is synthesized by low‐temperature polycondensation. The PBOZ film exhibits excellent mechanical properties and a high glass‐tr…

The growth dynamics of 1D nanorods (NRs) composed of noble metals is ambiguous during glancing angle deposition (GLAD). The continuum equation (CE) model describes ballistic deposition limited by adatom diffusion, not verified in GLAD of noble metal NRs. In this work, GLAD is operated at Ts (substrate temperature) bel…

In this study, graphene field effect transistor arrays were fabricated, using solid-phase growth of graphene on a SiO2/Si substrate. Transfer-free fabrication was made possible by the fact that the graphene was grown not on a metal catalyst film, but on an insulating SiO2 substrate. Electrical isolation process was al…

By means of an envelope function analysis, we perform a numerical investigation of the conductance behavior of a graphene structure consisting of two regions (dots) connected to the entrance and exit leads through constrictions and separated by a potential barrier. We show that the conductance of the double dot depend…

Using silicotetraetilortosilicate (TEOS) mixed with aluminum tri-sec-butoxide (TSBAI) or aluminum cloaures mullite ceramics were created by the sol-gel method. The quantities used of each substance were those that led to obtain stoichiometric mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2). The experimental methodology used for obtaining mull…

Metallacarboranes are promising towards realizing room temperature hydrogen storage media because of the presence of both transition metal and carbon atoms. In metallacarborane clusters, the transition metal adsorbs hydrogen molecules and carbon can link these clusters to form metal organic framework, which can serve…

We report white light generation (WLG) in Tm3+/Ho3+/Yb3+ doped PbO-GeO2 glass under continuous-wave excitation at 980 nm. Intense blue (≈477 nm), green (≈545 nm), and red (≈ 658 nm) emissions were simultaneously observed at room temperature. The blue light is mainly due to the Tm3+ transition 1G4 → 3H6. The green emis…

We report on the voltage response of carbon nanotube devices to sub-terahertz (THz) radiation. The devices contain carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are over their length partially suspended and partially Van der Waals bonded to a SiO2 substrate, causing a difference in thermal contact. We observe a DC voltage upon expos…
