A simple thermal treatment has been used to produce a variety of elongated single crystalline magnesium oxide nanostructures. Incipient evaporation of a magnesium diboride starting powder combined with a mixed oxygen/argon process gas provided the constituents for nanostructure growth. Electron diffraction and energy…

Abstract Adhesion of dense linear polymer chains containing a small number of randomly distributed sticker groups (ϕ X ) to a solid substrate containing receptor groups (ϕ Y ) has been analyzed by a single‐chain scaling approach. An entanglement sink probability (ESP) model motivated by vector percolation explains the…

Composite thin films of (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)1−x:(MgO)x (x=0–0.5) were grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by a metalorganic aerosol deposition technique. A columnar growth of the films with the predominance of (111)- and (1̄10)-orientation was observed. Pure films (x=0) show a Curie temperature of TC=362 K, a metallic behavi…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of lithium metasilicate $({\mathrm{Li}}_{2}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{3})$ in the glassy and supercooled liquid states have been performed to illustrate the decay with time of the cages that confine individual ${\mathrm{Li}}^{+}$ ions before they hop out to diffuse cooperatively with each othe…

We have measured the site-specific valence electronic structure of $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ by using a spatially modulated x-ray standing wave as the excitation source for photoemission. Contributions to the valence-band density of states from oxygen and iron ions are separa…

The loss factor (tan δ) of ferroelectric material at microwaves and the tunability (n) defined as a ratio of the dielectric permittivity at zero dc field to the dielectric permittivity at the given field are strongly connected with the softness of so-called ferroelectric soft mode. The loss factor and the tunability a…

a- and b-axis-oriented epitaxial Bi4Ti3O12 films were prepared on (101)TiO2 (rutile) substrates at 630 °C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and their perfect epitaxial growths were confirmed by several x-ray diffraction measurements. As the bottom electrode, (101)-oriented conductive materials with the same ru…

The Heusler alloys are a group of magnetic materials that will form essential components in hybrid, ferromagnet–semiconductor devices that utilize spin injection. We demonstrate that such an alloy, Co2MnGa:GaAs(001) is ferromagnetic at 300 K and has controllable magnetic properties. A weak in-plane uniaxial anisotropy…

We investigate the electro-optical properties of polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystals produced by in situ photopolymerization technique using Gaussian laser beam. The distribution of refractive index in such structure under the action of a homogeneous electric field reveals a non-homogeneous lens-like character,…

Based on first-principles theoretical calculations, we find that on pristine single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT's), the dissociative adsorption of ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ molecules is severely suppressed due to very high energy barriers of about 3 eV, while H atoms have low-energy barriers less than 0.3 eV. On Li-doped SWN…

Nanoclusters of crystalline SnO2 have been grown in glass, starting from tin-doped silica prepared by a sol–gel method. Based upon a particular choice of molecular precursors, nanocrystallites with a mean radius of about 1 nm and a quite narrow size dispersion were obtained, resulting in wide-band-gap (>4 eV) q…

Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT's) have been studied by Raman scattering using different excitation wavelengths and their spectra compared to those of single wall nanotubes (SWNT's) and ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$-SWNT peapods.

We have investigated the thermodynamic and kinetic barriers involved in the synthesis of MgB2 films. This work refines our initial conjectures predicting optimal MgB2 thin film growth conditions as a consequence of the unusually large kinetic barrier to MgB2 decomposition. The small Mg sticking coefficient at temperat…

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy in a single-crystal Co37Ni34Al29 ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy has been investigated. The prestrain was applied to the parent phase in order to nucleate the specific variant in the sample cooled down through the martensitic transformation temperature. The applied magnetic field fac…

The use of oxide materials in oxide electronics requires their controlled epitaxial growth. Recently, it was shown that Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) allows to monitor the growth of oxide thin films even at high oxygen pressure.
