Oriented polycrystalline BiFeO3 (BFO) films are deposited on single crystal LaAlO3 (001) substrates by nebulized spray pyrolysis technique at low temperature of ∼300°C. Annealing of the as deposited films in air and oxygen at ∼550°C for 1h is found to produce crystallization and BFO phase formation. X-ray diffraction…

High-voltage vacuum insulator failure is generally due to surface flashover rather than insulator bulk breakdown. Vacuum surface flashover is widely believed to be initiated by a secondary electron emission avalanche along the vacuum-insulator interface. This process requires a physical mechanism to cause secondary el…

Abstract The amino substituted gallatetrahedranes described herein, Ga 4 (tmp) 4 [tmp = 2,2,6,6‐(tetramethylpiperidino)] and Ga 4 [N(SiMe 3 )dipp] 4 (dipp = 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl), are the first oligomeric gallium(I) amides to be reported. These compounds are formed in a facile manner from “GaI”. A new hexagallane wit…

The wetting of amorphous poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces by water has been studied using molecular dynamics simulations. PDMS surfaces were generated by compressing a long PDMS chain between two elastic boundaries at atmospheric pressure. Oxidation of the PDMS surface, achieved in real systems by exposure to ai…

Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy experiments have been performed in a polyimide (PI) in order to measure its electrical conductivity from 200to400°C. The high temperature static (dc) conductivity in PI appears as superimposed by electrode polarization due to the building up of thin space-charge capacitor layers at t…

We present calculations of the laser-induced force between metallic nanospheres, similar and dissimilar in character, and that between a metallic nanosphere and a planar surface. When the separation between these objects is in the 0.5-2 nm range, we find very strong resonances in the laser-induced force associated wit…

The availability of well defined inorganic nanocrystals allows the construction of aligned structures with characteristic architectural elements in the nanometer range, the mesoscale. Contrary to alignment driven by external conditions and fields, we focus on strict "self-effects", where the organization is already en…

The amorphous carbon film/n-Si (a-C∕Si) junctions have been fabricated by magnetron sputtering. The results show that these junctions have good rectifying properties and high ammonia (NH3) gas sensitivity. For a given reverse bias voltage, the resistance of the junction can increase by 100 times rapidly when exposed t…
