To date, the only dopant available for bulk diamond with good controllability is boron, which acts as an acceptor and can be incorporated in relatively high concentrations, allowing the design of devices for electronic applications. This paper summarizes data on doping procedures and on optical and electrical properti…
We argue that the intrinsic glassy degrees of freedom in amorphous solids giving rise to the thermal conductivity plateau and the "boson peak" in the heat capacity at moderately low temperatures are directly connected to those motions giving rise to the two-level-like excitations seen at still lower temperatures. Thes…
Exceptionally pure epitaxial diamond layers have been grown by microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition, which have low boron doping, from 5 × 10 14 to 1 × 10 16 cm −3 , and the compensating n-type impurities are the lowest reported for any semiconducting diamond, <3 × 10 13 cm −3 . The hydrogen impurities that bin…
A spectroscopic Judd–Ofelt investigation has been performed on Er3+ in the doubly doped phosphate glass:Er3+, Yb3+ in order to assess its potential as a laser system. The standard Judd–Ofelt model was applied to the room-temperature absorption intensities of Er3+(4f11) transitions to determine the intensity parameters…
A temperature dependence for emission of Eu3+ in cubic nanocrystalline Y2O3:Eu3+ was studied in contrast with the polycrystalline powders. The emission intensity of Eu3+ decreased solely with elevated temperature under the excitation of a 580 nm light, while it had a maximum at a certain temperature under a 488 nm lig…
The electronic properties of chemical vapour deposited (CVD) diamond are reviewed based on data measured by transient and spectrally resolved photoconductivity experiments, photo-thermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) where substitutional nitrogen (P1-centre) and carbon defects…
We present first-principles calculations in the framework of density-functional theory and the pseudopotential approach, aiming to model the intermediate stages of the reduction of NO in the presence of MoO$_3$(010). In particular, we study the formation of dinitrosyl, which proves to be an important intermediate stag…
The dielectric constant of the incipient ferroelectric EuTiO3 exhibits a sharp decrease at about 5.5 K, at which temperature antiferromagnetic ordering of the Eu spins simultaneously appears, indicating coupling between the magnetism and dielectric properties. This may be attributed to the modification of the soft-pho…
Fullerene coalescence experimentally found in fullerene-embedded single-wall nanotubes under electron-beam irradiation or heat treatment is simulated by minimizing the classical action for many atom systems. The dynamical trajectory for forming a (5,5) C120 nanocapsule from two C60 fullerene molecules consists of ther…
The substitution of Mn in the III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors leads to a strong electron scattering on impurities. Besides the features induced in the valence band by the hybridization with the Mn d-states, also the conduction band is affected by the absence of the Mn s-states at its edge. Also the high concentr…
We investigate the compositional dependence of the total energy of the mixed crystals (Ga,Mn)As co-doped with As, Sn, and Zn. Using the ab initio LMTO-CPA method we find a correlation between the incorporation of acceptors (Mn, Zn) and donors (Sn, antisite As). In particular, the formation energy of As_Ga is reduced b…
In this letter, we report on a technique for the hierarchical assembly of nanofibers into crossbar nanostructures. An electrospinning process is used to create polymer-based nanofibers with diameters ranging from 10–180 nm and lengths of up to several centimeters. By controlling the electrostatic field and the polymer…
Nanocrystalline columnar-structured diamond films with column diameters less than 100 nm and thicknesses in the range of 1–5 μm were grown on silicon substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a microwave plasma reactor with purified methane and hydrogen used as the reactants. Uniform conformal nucleation densit…
Thick films of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) exhibiting in-plane preferred orientation have been produced by filter deposition from suspension in strong magnetic fields. We characterize the field-induced alignment with x-ray fiber diagrams and polarized Raman scattering, using a model which includes a completely…
We report on the photoluminescent characteristics of ZnO single crystal nanorods grown by catalyst-free metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. From photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the nanorods at 10 K, several PL peaks were observed at 3.376, 3.364, 3.360, and 3.359 eV. The PL peak at 3.376 eV is attributed to a free exc…
The oxidation of aqueous solutions of glycerol is described and discussed for Pd, Pt and Au nanoparticles supported on graphite and activated carbon. The oxidation in a batch reactor at 60 °C and 1 bar pressure using air as oxidant was initially investigated. Under these conditions, supported Pd and Pt catalysts give…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on Si3N4/Si substrates have been investigated as resistive gas sensors for NO2. Upon exposure to NO2, the electrical resistance of the CNTs was found to decrease. The maximum variation of resistance to NO2 was found at an operating temperat…
The filament structures of the self-polymers of RecA proteins from Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, their complexes with ATPgammaS, phage M13 single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and the tertiary complexes RecA::ATPgammaS::ssDNA were compared by small angle neutron scattering. A model was developed that allowed for…
The selective light reflection and turbidimetric property of concentrated aqueous solutions of (hydroxypropyl)cellulose (HPC), originating from their cholesteric mesophase structure and LCST-type phase behavior, respectively, are much affected by coexistence of inorganic salts therein. This is ascribed to a strong dep…
The oxovanadium(IV) sandwich-type POM catalyzes the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols by chiral hydroperoxides with very high catalytic efficiency (up to 42 000 TON), a potentially valuable oxidation for the development of sustainable processes. By using the sterically demanding, TADD…
