A straightforward and inexpensive solution-based method to coat cylindrical microcavities with silicon nanocrystals is described. By using this method, high-quality films of oxide-embedded silicon nanocrystals (Si-ncs) were formed on the inner wall of hollow glass fibers. The resulting films were uniform and crack-fre…

Abstract We report on a DC magnetic field sensor that utilizes magnetoelectric (ME) laminate composites. It consists of a ring‐dot piezoelectric transformer laminated to a magnetostrictive disc. When a constant voltage is applied to the ring section of the piezoelectric layer at resonance, a stress is induced in the d…

Multilayered metal-insulator-metal structures with BiFeO3 and Ba0.25Sr0.75TiO3 thin films were fabricated by chemical solution deposition to reduce the leakage current through the capacitor stack. The Ba0.25Sr0.75TiO3 layer does not influence the crystalline structure of BiFeO3 and was recognized as rhombohedral by Ra…

In this letter, the excitonic emissions from ZnO epilayers were studied by depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) microanalysis. An excellent agreement between the redshift of the experimental depth-resolved CL emission and theoretically simulated values was observed, which clearly identified its origin to be the str…

The conductor and ground shield layers of shielded distribution cable provide a smooth interface between conductors and insulation. Their semiconducting nature causes attenuation of high frequencies which propagate down the cable, as the high frequency displacement current flows through the shield layers and, in the c…

Orthorhombic HoMnO3 films with well-aligned crystallographic orientations were deposited on LaAlO3(110) single crystal substrates by using pulsed laser deposition. The nearly perfect b-axis-oriented films provide the opportunity of investigating the orientation-dependent physical property of this material. The tempera…

Abstract A new type of polymeric hybrid coating is created by layer‐by‐layer deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) onto nano‐patterned polymer brushes (NPB). The PEM is a hydrogen‐bonded multilayer consisting of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(acrylamide) and the NPB is derived from a surface reactive rod‐coil b…

Monitoring the kinetics of hydrolysis and condensation of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy-silane (γ-GPS) was carried out by NMR spectroscopy (29Si–, 13C–, and 1H–). The course of these reactions was followed in 2 wt% aqueous dilution conditions (26% D2O/74% H2O), pH 5.4, and temperatures of 26, 50, and 70°C. At ambient te…

We herein report an anomalous thermal hysteresis in dielectric permittivity in CaCu3Ti4O12. The anomalous behavior was well explained in terms of the low-temperature Maxwell–Wagner relaxation induced by frozen carriers. A multirelaxation mechanism, i.e., the coupling of the dipole relaxation to the frozen carrier-indu…

The stress evolution in nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films deposited at different temperatures (from 800to400°C) was investigated. Results showed that the intrinsic stress gradually changed from tensile to compressive with decreasing deposition temperature. Most importantly, the intrinsic stress can be tailored to ze…
