A thermopower formula is derived for composites: [Formula: see text] (κ(i) and κ are the specific thermal conductivities, S(i) and S are the Seebeck coefficients of the phase i and the composite, respectively, and υ(i) is the volume fraction of the phase i). This formula can be applied for calculating the Seebeck coef…

We report on the electrical field control of ferromagnetism (FM) at room temperature in III-N dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) films. A GaMnN layer was grown on top of an n-GaN substrate and found to be almost always paramagnetic. However, when grown on a p-type GaN layer, a strong saturation magnetization (Ms) was…

Hydriding or oxidation of a metal nanoparticle starts on the surface and results in the formation of a hydride or oxide shell. Due to expansion of the shell, the strain in the metal core is tensile, and in principle it may induce the formation of a hollow structure (this hollow-formation mechanism is alternative to th…

Interaction of noise with nonlinear electrochemical kinetics involving the etching of porous silicon is studied experimentally. It is realized that by monotonically increasing the level of internal noise, one can tune the regularity of the spatial distribution of pores in silicon nanostructures. This regularity of the…

Co2FeSi is predicted to be a half-metallic ferromagnet with an extraordinary high magnetic moment and Curie temperature. However, a low tunnel magneto-resistance ratio, a lower spin polarization and a lower magnetic moment were experimentally observed in thin film samples. Consequently, thin Co 2FeSi films of differen…
