When reduced ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}(110)$ single crystals are oxidized at moderate temperatures (470--660 K), the surfaces restructure. Interstitial Ti atoms from the bulk diffuse to the surface where they react with gaseous oxygen and form new, added ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ layers. These are characterized by three structur…
SiO 2 and phosphosilicate glass (PSG) films containing Si nanocrystals (nc-Si) as small as a few nanometers were studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) and photoluminescence (PL), and the correlation between the two measurements was examined. It is shown that the incorporation of nc-Si in SiO2 results in the drastic…
Longitudinal and transverse giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effects are studied in FeCuNbSiB and FeCuNbSiB/Cu/FeCuNbSiB films. In regard to as-deposited single layer films, hardly any GMI effect can be detected, while for as-deposited sandwiched films, the maximum GMI ratios of 32% and 11% are obtained in longitudinal an…
A series of mono- and dinuclear lanthanum complexes of 15,31-dimethyl-3,11,19,27,33,35-hexaazapentacyclo[27.3.1.1.(5,9)1,(13,17). 1(21,25)]hexatriaconta-5,7,9(33),13,15,17(34),21,23,25(35),29,31, 1(36)-dodecaene-34,36-diol (24RBPyBC, L) have been defined in solution. Their ability to hydrolyze bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosp…
The synthesis of a novel water-soluble polymer drug carrier system based on biodegradable poly(ethylene glycol) block copolymer is described in this paper. The copolymer consisting of PEG blocks of molecular weight 2000 linked by means of an oligopeptide with amino end groups was prepared by interfacial polycondensati…
The dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of natural rubber/poly (methyl methacrylate) blends (NR/PMMA) with and without the addition of graft copolymer (NR-g-PMMA) have been investigated. Dynamic mechanical spectroscopy is used to examine the effect of compatibilizer loading on storage modulus (E′), loss modulus…
Four-probe resistance vs temperature and gate voltage are reported for an individual single-wall carbon nanotube rope before and after doping in situ with potassium. All the features in $R(T)$ from unoriented bulk material, before and after doping, are qualitatively reproduced by the rope data. The 5.3 K conductance o…
The surface molecular orientation of a liquid crystalline (LC) layer made up of semifluorinated (SF) single side groups [−CO−(CH 2 ) x - 1 −(CF 2 ) y F] (single SF groups) attached to polyisoprene homopolymer or the isoprene block of a styrene−isoprene diblock copolymer was determined by analyzing the partial electron…

We report a diffuse interface or phase field model for simulating electromigration and stress-induced void evolution in interconnect lines. Our approach is based on the introduction of an order parameter field to characterize the damaged state of the interconnect. The order parameter takes on distinct uniform values w…
An analysis of the Stokes and anti-Stokes resonant Raman spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT's) using different laser energies in the range $1.49<~{E}_{\mathrm{laser}}<~2.19$ eV shows major differences in the tangential band spectra for the Stokes and anti-Stokes processes for selected ${E}_{\mathrm{…
We have found quite a new type of transport phenomenon in an organic crystal α-(BEDT-TTF) 2 I 3 under high pressure. Essentially, it is a semimetal or a narrow gap semiconductor. But, the transport property is peculiar. The conductivity of this the carrier (hole) density and mobility change by a about 6 orders of magn…
We report how the structural arrangement of germanium nanowires optimizes surface stability and enables the formation of very thin free-standing crystalline wires. Ge nanowires consisting of a crystalline Ge core and an amorphous ${\mathrm{GeO}}_{2}$ sheath have been formed by laser ablation of a mixture of Ge and ${\…
Using empirical potential molecular dynamics we compute dynamical matrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a 4096 atom model of amorphous silicon and a set of models with voids of different sizes based on it. This information is then employed to study the localization properties of the low-energy vibrational states, ca…
We have investigated the crystal structure and the ferroelectric properties of BaTiO3 thin films with YBa2Cu3O7-d as the bottom and Au as the top electrode. Epitaxial heterostructures of YBa2Cu3O7-d and BaTiO3 were prepared by dc and rf sputtering, respectively. The crystal structure of the films was characterised by…
Using the photoluminescence Auger saturation phenomenon, we deduce the values of the absorption cross section of silicon nanocrystals in a wide range of energies. The very large variation of their values versus energy of the absorbed light is attributed to the enhanced optical transition oscillator strength but reduce…
A new technique, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), appears promising as a means of studying the dynamical behaviour of polymers. Real polymers are known to obey a number of scaling laws, and a simulation method should reproduce these if it is to be relied on. The present work is a study of the properties of polymer…
In this article we report on the temperature dependencies of the longitudinal and shear sound velocities in Ti4AlN3, Ti3Al1.1C1.8, and Ti3SiC2. The velocities are measured using a phase sensitive pulse-echo ultrasonic technique in the 90–300 K temperature range. At room temperature, Young’s, ERT, and shear, μRT, modul…
High-speed optical communication requires ultrafast all-optical processing and switching capabilities. The Kerr nonlinearity, an ultrafast optical nonlinearity, is often used as the basic switching mechanism. A practical, small device that can be switched with ~1-pJ energies requires a large Kerr effect with minimal l…
Single molecule confocal microscopy is used to study fluorescence intermittency of individual ZnS overcoated CdSe quantum dots (QDs) excited at 488 nm. The confocal apparatus permits the distribution of “on” and “off” times (i.e., periods of sustained fluorescence emission and darkness) to be measured over an unpreced…
