A pinhole-type two-dimensional ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering set-up at a so-called medium-length beamline at SPring-8 is reported. A long sample-to-detector distance, 160.5 m, can be used at this beamline and a small-angle resolution of 0.25 µm(-1) was thereby achieved at an X-ray energy of 8 keV.

Titanium oxide (TiOx) modified with a thin layer of Al was used as an electron transporting layer in an inverted organic solar cell based on the P3HT/PCBM blend. The thin Al layer was shown to improve the TiOx surface properties, decreased the work-function of TiOx, increased the built-in voltage, and facilitated elec…

The objective of this work was to develop new coating materials based on poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO), which was grafted onto polysilazane (PSZ) by hydrosilylation. Three types of PEO with different molecular weights (350, 750, 2000 g/mol) were studied. The kinetics and yields of this reaction have been surveyed by (1)H…

We report the first direct measurement of transport properties of surface states in the topological insulator Bi(0.91)Sb(0.09) (111) from the weak-field Hall effect and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. We find that the holelike surface band displays an unexpectedly high mobility 23,000-85,000 cm(2)/V s, which is the hi…

A novel linear flux switching motor (LFSM) with simple passive segmented secondary (SSLFSM) is presented in this paper. In this motor, the armature and field winding concentrated coils are wound around mover (primary) teeth alternatively. The structure of this linear motor is different from other types of LFSMs presen…

Traditional bone grafting requires an open surgical approach to the graft application sites with the attendant complications of a large surgical scar, increased pain and a longer post-operative recovery. To overcome these limitations, there is a great need for the development of better bone graft substitutes. In this…

The optical properties of site-controlled single GaN quantum dots (QDs) embedded in nanowires are presented. These properties are largely determined by a strong carrier confinement due to the small size of the dots (0.5 ∼ 1 nm in height). The QDs emit in the deep-ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum and…

To determine the 3D conformation of proteins is a necessity to understand their functions or interactions with other molecules. It is commonly admitted that, when proteins fold from their primary linear structures to their final 3D conformations, they tend to choose the ones that minimize their free energy. To find th…
