Flexible all-organic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) devices were fabricated by using highly transparent and conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene): p-toluene sulfonate (PEDOT:PTS) films, as electrode layers. These conductive PEDOT:PTS films have a high transparency up to 80%, and possess a very low shee…

A new ion-transfer-based mechanism is proposed for the growth of CuTCNQ nanowires within the confines of an anodic aluminum oxide template. Remarkably, Cu ions are found to move across the growing solid single-crystalline nanowire at a very high rate with macroscopic distance, as schematically illustrated in the figur…

A “misfit strain-temperature” phase diagram for BiFeO3 thin film was constructed based on the Landau–Devonshire theory with the mechanical substrate effect. It is found that the polarization instabilities result in the formation of the monoclinic phases in BiFeO3 thin films. The effective substrate lattice parameter h…

Excitation/emission polarization anisotropies (ρexc∕emm) of single CdSe nanowires (NWs) were studied for their size, frequency, and dielectric environment dependencies. Single NW optical experiments show strong ρexc dielectric environment dependencies for both thick and thin NWs in agreement with classical dielectric…

SiN x passivation films were deposited on carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD) at low substrate temperatures. Deposition at 330°C induced many defects in the CNT channels. The measurement of electrical properties revealed that p-type CNTFETs were converted…

We report Monte Carlo simulations of the self-assembly of supramolecular polymers based on a model of patchy particles. We find a first-order phase transition, characterized by hysteresis and nucleation, toward a solid bundle of polymers, of length much greater than the average gas phase length. We argue that the bund…

We perform a detailed investigation of the local atomic structure in highly magnetostrictive $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{-FeGa}$ melt-spun ribbons. By using extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis at the Fe and $\text{Ga}\text{ }K$ edges coupled to x-ray diffraction (XRD) and to ab initio full multiple…

A two-dimensional patterning method that allows for flexible designs is demonstrated by combining bottom-up diblock copolymer self-assembly with top-down electron beam lithography (EBL), which increases the applicability of block copolymer lithography to nanodevice fabrication. Both bent lamellae and concentric cylind…
