Photoluminescence (PL) measurements have been carried out on Si quantum dots (QDs) with sizes of 2–4 nm embedded in Si oxide films. Conspicuous multiple PL peaks separated in energy by up to 104 meV are observed and attributed to optical transitions in discrete energy levels of Si QDs. A band-mixing model of direct an…

Thickness-dependent strain relaxation and its role on exciton resonance energies of epitaxial ZnO layers grown on 6H-SiC substrates have been studied. The magnitudes of strain were determined experimentally by x-ray diffraction measurements. The strain ratios under biaxial stresses (Δc/c0)/(Δa/a0) of epitaxial ZnO lay…

The giant single‐molecule {Mn 84 } (diameter ca. 4.3 nm), bridges the molecular (bottom‐up) and classical (top‐down) approaches to nanoscale magnetic materials. The cover shows the {Mn 84 } toroidal molecule as a bridge between the quantum ({Mn 4 } and {Mn 12 } clusters) and classical (a Co nanoparticle) worlds of mag…

A novel crystal growth method has been developed to grow single crystals of magnesium carbonate from molten sodium. Single crystals of magnesium carbonate with a size up to 1.5 mm were grown at 550 °C in a closed vessel consisting of an appropriate amount of magnesium carbonate powder, metallic sodium, and carbon tetr…

Self-assembly of diblock copolymers having a crystallizable block can yield particles of complex shapes. Here, particles have been obtained by mixing two solutions of poly( l -lactide)−poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly( d -lactide)−poly(ε-caprolactone) diblock copolymers, in a good solvent of polycaprolactone. We have pro…

TiO 2 : Co films have been grown in the rutile phase under varying oxygen growth pressures. Detailed microstructural analysis using transmission electron microscopy shows that reduced growth pressure increases the presence of cobalt clusters. The resistivity is found to follow a log(ρ)∼T−1/2 dependence over a wide tem…

In this letter, we report fluctuation microscopy studies of medium-range ordering in amorphous diamond-like carbon films and the effect of annealing on this ordering. Annealed and unannealed diamond-like carbon films have almost identical short-range order. Our fluctuation microscopy results, however, indicate the pre…

Mapping proton transfer: Disorder and proton transfer are important aspects in many hydrogen bonds. These phenomena can affect physical properties and the design of intermolecular interactions for crystal engineering. Variable-temperature X-ray diffraction (see Fourier map) is shown to be a highly appropriate tool for…

Room temperature ferromagnetic Fe- and Ni-doped TiO2 thin films were grown by the laser ablation on both LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates. Most of the films are pure anatase, and only the films of Ni content of 3.6% and 4.6% are rutile. Films on LaAlO3 substrates are more crystallized than films on SrTiO3 substrates resul…
