Li Nb O 3 ∕ Nb -doped SrTiO3 heterojunction was fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. The current-voltage curve of this heterojunction shows good rectifying property and changes with temperature dramatically. For the forward bias, the conduction mechanism changes from Ohmic-like for the low bias voltages to space cha…

The lattice structure of (110)-oriented BiFeO3 epitaxial thin layers has been identified by synchrotron x-ray diffraction. By using (221) and (221¯) peaks in the (HHL) zone, a ground state monoclinic Mb phase has been observed with lattice parameters of (β;am∕√2andcm)=(89.35°;3.985and3.888Å). These results demonstrate…

The authors measure the temperature dependence of the first absorption feature (dE∕dT) for different sizes of CdSe∕ZnS nanocrystals. In contrast to previous experiments, they find that dE∕dT is experimentally identical for all nanocrystal sizes considered and agrees well with the bulk CdSe value. They show that a firs…

Using combined microscopy and optical characterizations, the authors demonstrate effective Er doping into freestanding ZnO nanowires via ion implantation. The Er atoms are observed to take the substitutional sites in ZnO without causing obvious distortion to the host lattice. While the band gap threshold of the Er dop…

Twin boundaries (TBs) in ultra-fine grained (UFG) copper prepared by powder metallurgy were investigated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and geometric phase analysis (GPA). Specimens were analyzed both before and after mechanical deformation (compression of 40%) and emphasis placed on th…

Grain boundaries are known to be sources and sinks for bulk vacancies, but the exchange that occurs between the grain boundary and the bulk under a low stress is still obscure. In the present paper, it is shown that grain boundaries may act as sources to emit vacancies when an anelastic deformation occurs under a comp…

The strengthening mechanisms in bimetallic Cu/Ni thin layers are investigated using a hybrid approach that links the parametric dislocation dynamics method with ab initio calculations. The hybrid approach is an extension of the Peierls–Nabarro (PN) model to bimaterials, where the dislocation spreading over the interfa…

Abstract The gelation rates of poly(3‐alkyl thiophenes) (P3AT) are strongly dependent on the pendent alkyl chain length. Poly(3‐hexyl thiophene (P3HT) gels at higher isothermal temperatures than that of poly(3‐dodecyl thiophene), (P3DDT). Gelation rate has been expressed as a combination of a temperature dependent fun…

Magnetic field-induced entropy change has been experimentally studied for phase-separated manganites Eu0.55Sr0.45MnO3 and La0.27Nd0.40Ca0.33 MnO3. The entropy derived from the measured heat capacity exhibits a significant decrease under applied field in a broad temperature range below Curie temperature, and the maximu…

A series of molecular dynamics simulations using the embedded atom method is conducted to investigate crack propagation under mode I loading in a Ni single crystal with and without defects. The crack system (0 0 1)[1 0 0] in a slab of 160 000 atoms was studied. Defects consisting of lines of vacancies were introduced…
