We investigated the influence of grinding as a pretreatment prior to the emitter film formation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the field emission and the geometric properties of SWNTs. Field emission from emitter films composed of ground SWNTs was found to be dramatically enhanced as well as to be homoge…

Ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon-phonon interaction and thermoelastic relaxation are studied in Lanthanum Monochalcogenides in <110> direction at different higher temperatures. For evaluation of ultrasonic absorption coefficients the second and third order elastic constants (SOEC) and (TOEC) are also calculated. S…

Photoluminescence and Raman scattering experiments were performed on Si/SiO2 superlattices grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on Si, quartz and glass substrates. Increasing the Si layer thickness in the Si/SiO2 superlattice gave rise to an increased photoluminescence signal and a Raman signature for nanocry…

Silk fibroin is a simple protein expected to have functional applications in medicine and bioelectronics. The primary structure of this protein is quite simple, and the main secondary structures are β-sheet crystals and amorphous random coils. In the present study, we investigated pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of fibr…

The recently discovered superconductor MgCNi 3 crystallizes in the classical cubic perovskite structure. The electronic structures of the MgCNi 3- x M x (M = Co, Cu; x = 0, 0.5, 1.0) system have been calculated using the self-consistent tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method. The calculations showed that the F…

Iron containing diamond-like amorphous carbon (a-C:Fe) films were deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique. The influences of Fe content and substrate bias on the surface energy of the films were investigated. The surface energy of a-C:Fe films was determined by the contact angle measurement. Atomic force m…

We have simulated the size dependence of domain patterns in a two-dimensional (square shaped) constrained ferroelectric system by means of a time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau model. The theory incorporates elastic strain in the form of an effective long-range nonlocal interaction of the polarization. A nonferroelectric l…

The properties and mechanism of the magnetic phase transition of the perovskite-type Ti oxides, which is driven by the Ti-O-Ti bond angle distortion, are studied theoretically by using the effective spin and pseudospin Hamiltonian with strong Coulomb repulsion. It is shown that the A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM(A)) to…

Abstract The electron emission yields of insulators irradiated with ultra‐short pulsed X‐ray and electron beams differ significantly from those of metals. The main experimental results are reviewed and it is shown that the use of simple models for the transport and for the escape of the generated secondary electrons a…

The dependence of the permittivity of porous alumina on the microstructure was studied. Three different algebraic mixing laws inaccurately predicted the measured effective permittivity of the three-phase material, which was alumina, air, and water. Finite-difference electrostatic simulations of physically realistic mi…

We report on photoinduced second-harmonic generation (SHG) in chalcogenide glasses. Fundamental and second-harmonic waves from a nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser were used to induce second-order nonlinearity in chalcogenide glasses. The magnitude of SHG in 20G?20A?60S glass was 10(4) larger than that of tellurite glass…

A new ligand (H2LOH) obtained from the Schiff base condensation of 4-(diethylamino)salicylaldehyde with 1,3-diamino-2-propanol is reported, which yields two different copper(II) complexes: CuLOH and Cu2LO(AcO). Crystal data are as follows. CuLOH*EtOH: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 17.810(2) A, b = 8.515(1) A, c = 18.912(2)…

The interplay between quarter-filled and half-filled umklapp scattering has been examined by applying the renormalization group method to a one-dimensional quarter-filled electron system with dimerization, on-site (U) and nearest-neighbor (V) repulsive interactions. The phase diagram on the U-V plane is obtained at ab…
