A detailed Rietveld analysis of x-ray data, collected at room temperature, was done on ceramics with controlled grain size between 100nm and 4μm for (PbMg1∕3Nb2∕3O3)0.80–(PbTiO3)0.20 (PMN-PT20), i.e., a compound at the border of the so-called morphotropic phase boundary. With size reduction the polarization rotates wi…

Room-temperature photoluminescence has been studied in n-type bulk ZnO crystals representing three different growth methods and having free-carrier concentrations (n) ranging from 1013to1018cm−3. The near-band-edge emission has both free-exciton and free-exciton-phonon contributions, with the strength of the phonon co…

We have simulated the structure of amorphous zircon using classical molecular dynamics simulations with a partial-charge model. We present detailed structural characterizations of the simulated high and low density amorphous zircon, and compare our results with available neutron diffraction, EXAFS, NMR and other exper…

Abstract Precipitation of the polymorphic compound L‐glutamic acid was initiated by premixing aqueous solutions of sodium L‐glutamate and sulfuric acid. Samples of the supersaturated solution were either subjected to vigorous post‐stirring or left under quiescent conditions. For low supersaturation (S ≤ 13) without po…

The authors demonstrate the ability of multiwall carbon nanotubes to generate photocurrents in the near ultraviolet and visible spectral ranges using electrochemical photocurrent measurements. The photogenerated current depends on the excitation wavelength similar to that for single wall carbon nanotubes. Its intensit…

Abstract Flexible polyurethane foam scrap was chemically decomposed via glycolysis. Optimal reaction conditions for glycolysis were determined: temperature, 220°C, polyurethane/glycol ratio, 1:1; reaction time, 2.5 hr; diethylene glycol or dipropylene glycol as reagents. Two types of polyurethane scrap were tested; bo…

The authors report a simple method to significantly enhance the photoluminescence (PL) of SiNx films by incorporating a SiO2 buffer and annealing treatment under N2 protection. Strong visible PL is achieved with annealing temperature above 650°C. Optimal PL is obtained at 800°C. The composition and structure analysis…

Gold nanocrystals of different shapes have been made by a wet chemical approach based on a two-step, seed-mediated synthesis. In this paper, we demonstrate a one-step synthetic method for achieving simple and systematic control over the shape of gold nanoparticles. Gold nanowires, which have been prepared by multi-ste…

Photoluminescence (PL) dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been studied by the femtosecond excitation correlation method with a 150 fs time resolution. The SWNT samples were synthesized by different methods and suspended in gelatin films or D2O solutions. The PL dynamics of SWNTs depends on the loca…

Abstract A temperature‐sensitive polymer, poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) [poly(NIPAM)], was tested to flocculate kaolinite clay suspensions. Settling tests at both room temperature and 40°C were carried out. The results show that settling at 40°C resulted in significantly higher settling rates and smaller sediment volume…

We assess two newly developed exchange-correlation functionals on four bulk phases of zinc oxide (ZnO) and compare results with conventional local density and the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof realization of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The two functionals assessed are the Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria, a n…
