In this study, we prepared microscale periodic rough structures consisting of parallel strips on a silicon surface. The width of each strip was equal to the gap between the strips, and the silicon surface was silanized with perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane. We studied the wetting characteristics of water drops as they ad…

Using an electron microprobe, we measured and characterized the Nd 3+ ion diffusion across a boundary between Nd doped and undoped ceramic yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) for different temperature ramps and hold times and temperatures. The results show significant Nd ion diffusion on the order of micrometres to tens of…

With the combination of the Fourier synthesis method and the time-dependent linear stability analysis, a simple model was developed to describe the dynamic evolution of the initial interface instability. By using this simple model, the early instability stage of a planar interface during directional solidification of…

Cu doped ZnO and MgZnO ceramics were created via a process of cold pressing and annealing, and their optical properties and phonon dynamics were studied. It was found that the ceramics exhibit infrared absorption peak energies at 5783 and 5822 cm−1, indicative of intraband transitions in a substitutional Cu ion of oxi…

We report bidirectional direct-current electroluminescence (EL) from i-MgxZn1−xO/n-ZnO/SiOx double-barrier heterostructures on Si. When the heterostructure-based device is forward biased with negative voltage applied on Si, ultraviolet (UV) emission is more intense than visible emissions. The visible emissions appear…

For materials containing fluorine, it has been generally accepted that fluorinated segments or end groups tend to aggregate in the outer surface because of the low surface energy, which endows the fluorinated materials with special surface properties such as self-cleaning, superhydrophobicity, and so forth. However, f…

Recent experimental and computational advances have clearly established the importance of the linear alkylthiolate−Au−alkylthiolate (RS−Au−SR) complex at the interface between the thiolate groups and the gold surface. By using density functional theory-based first principles method, here we show that the elementary di…

We investigate the behavior of liquid crystal dynamic flow in a cell with a bidirectional alignment (BDA) surface. Numerical simulations show that with a BDA surface having a pitch comparable to the cell gap d, the liquid crystal dynamic flow direction can be controlled by the driving voltage. Such an effect can be ap…
