Work function engineering of graphene facilitates its application as a transparent electrode material in organic electronic devices. Toward this end, we demonstrate the dependence of the work function of plasma-fluorinated epitaxial graphene on the polarity of carbon-fluorine bonds which is controlled by the nature of…

Abstract Raman scattering from binary Ge x Se 100 − x glasses excited using 1064 nm radiation display vibrational modes whose linewidths significantly exceed those observed using 647 nm radiation. In these glasses, 1064 nm radiation excites midgap states while 647 nm radiation excites conduction band tail states. Pres…

We report a study on the desorption properties, crystallography and chemical state of MgH2 and 1 mol% Nb2O5 ball-milled composites. Desorption temperatures of the composites decreased with increase of ball-milling time. Size of MgH2 crystallites decreased during ball-milling. Reduction of Nb2O5 after ball-milling was…

Abstract The aim of this study was to prepare polyvinyl alcohol/carbon nanotube (PVA/CNT) conductive nanofibers by the electrospinning process. Prior to composite preparation, carbon nanotubes are dispersed homogeneously in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and mixed with a PVA solution. A series of PVA/CNT films and nanof…

Lanthanum doping for calcium in CaFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ results in negative thermal expansion that can be exceptionally large. The behavior is unusual among Fe-As materials, and is presumably associated with the close proximity of CaFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ to a structural phase instability.

We experimentally investigate the nonlinear response of two-dimensional periodic arrays composed of gold nanopatches on silicon substrate, functionalized by means of a conjugated rigid thiol. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) response is empirically evaluated using a laser source operating in the visible sp…

The development of quasi-1D Co 3 O 4 /ZnO nanocomposites by a two-step plasma enhanced-chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) process is presented. Arrays of ⟨001⟩ oriented ZnO nanorods were first grown on Si(100) and subsequently used as templates for the PE-CVD of Co 3 O 4, whose amount was tailored as a function of dep…

Antiferroelectric Pb(Zr, Nb, Ti)O3 (PZNT) films were deposited via a sol-gel process on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si, LaNiO3- and La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-buffered Si substrate. The scaling behavior of the energy density W of antiferroelectric films was investigated. The scaling behavior of W against frequency f of PZNT on LaNiO3-buffere…

We present the results of polarized Raman spectroscopy of hexagonal BaFe 12 O 19 single crystal. The spectra, recorded from 200 to 800 cm –1 and 1100 to 1700 cm –1 in the 20–250 K temperature range, are analyzed on the basis of both crystal vibrations and spin‐waves. In the low wavenumber range, the Γ‐point phonons ar…

Here, we report direct experimental evidence for the presence of flat bands, close to the Fermi level, in one-dimensional topological defects of graphite. The flat bands are manifested by a pronounced peak in the tunnelling density of states. Our ab initio calculations indicate that the flat bands with vanishing Fermi…
