Structural and dynamical properties of crystalline alumina α-Al2O3 and amorphous and molten alumina are investigated with molecular dynamics simulation based on an effective interatomic potentials consisting of two- and three-body terms. Structural correlations are examined through pair distribution functions, coordin…
SnSe, SnSe2, and Sn2Se3 alloys have been studied to explore their suitability as new phase change alloys for electronic memory applications. The temperature dependence of the structural and electrical properties of these alloys has been determined and compared with that of GeTe. A large electrical resistance contrast…
The origin of room temperature (RT) ferromagneticlike behavior in ZnO-based diluted magnetic semiconductors is still an unclear topic. The present work concentrates on the appearance of RT magnetic moments in just mixed ZnO∕Co3O4 mixtures without thermal treatment. In this study, it is shown that the magnetism seems t…
Switching voltage of first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) in VO_2, an inhomogeneous strongly correlated system, is changed by irradiating an infrared light with wavelength, 1.5 micrometer, and applying the electric field (photo-induced switching). This was predicted in the hole-driven MIT theory in which hole…
We report recrystallization of epitaxial (epi-) GaN(0001) film under indentation.Hardness value is measured close to 10 GPa, using a Berkovich indenter. Pop-in burst in the loading line indicates nucleation of dislocations setting in plastic motion of lattice atoms under stress field for the recrystallization process.…
The interface chemistry of silicon nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in amorphous oxide matrix is studied through molecular dynamics simulations with the chemical environment described by the reactive force field model. Our results indicate that the Si NC-oxide interface is more involved than the previously proposed schemes…
( 1 − x ) ( Bi 1 ∕ 2 Na 1 ∕ 2 ) Ti O 3 – x ( Bi 1 ∕ 2 Li 1 ∕ 2 ) Ti O 3 and (1−x)(Bi1∕2Na1∕2)TiO3–x(Bi1∕2K1∕2)TiO3 (abbreviated as BNLT100x and BNKT100x, respectively) ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic fabrication process. In this study, the depolarization temperature Td, rhombohedral-tetragonal phase…
In the present work, the authors report results of broadband dielectric spectroscopy on various samples of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO), also including single-crystalline material, which so far was only rarely investigated. The measurements extend up to 1.3 GHz, covering more than nine frequency decades. We address the question…
We report element specific structural and magnetic investigations on Zn(1-x)Co(x)O epitaxial films using synchrotron radiation. Co dopants exclusively occupy Zn sites as revealed by x-ray linear dichroism having an unprecedented degree of structural perfection. Comparative magnetic field dependent measurements by x-ra…
Abstract The sophistication with which we can now prepare and characterize inorganic nanoparticles has inspired new areas of research into the fundamental properties and applications of these fascinating nanoscale systems. In this article some of the recent ideas concerning control of their optical properties are exam…
Single crystalline nanowires of 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole, a small organic functional compound, are prepared by adsorbent-assisted physical vapor deposition. As-prepared nanowires are shown to propagate multimode UV light and serve as single wire active optical waveguides and optically driven ultraviolet lasers (see fi…
The nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond is a promising candidate for realizing the spin qubits concept in quantum information. Even though this defect has been known for a long time, its electronic structure and other properties have not yet been explored in detail. We study the properties of the nitrogen-vacancy cente…
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were adsorbed onto nanostructured TiO2 films for different times by using a chemical bath deposition method in order to produce QD-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). Surface modification was done by coating ZnS onto the CdSe QDs. The optical absorption and current-voltage characteristics of these…

Bacterial cellulose (BC) pellicles consist of a layered structure of planar nanofiber networks, which enables the production of optically transparent composites with an ultralow coefficient of thermal expansion comparable to that of silicon crystal. The BC nanofiber networks suppress crack propagation in the brittle m…
The dramatic visible light photocatalytic activity was obtained for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (lambda > 450 nm) after TiO2 photocatalysts were modified with monolayer dispersed polyaniline (PANI) via a facile chemisorption approach. Under visible light…
Amyloid fibers constitute one of the most abundant and important naturally occurring self-associated assemblies. A variety of protein and peptide molecules with various amino acid sequences form these highly stable and well-organized assemblies under diverse conditions. These assemblies display phase states ranging fr…
