Bloch-like surface waves associated with a quasiperiodic structure are observed for the first time in a classic wave propagation experiment which consists of pulse propagation with a shallow fluid covering a quasiperiodically drilled bottom. We show that a transversal pulse propagates as a plane wave with quasiperiodi…
The influence of substrate induced coupling on plasmon excitations is probed by means of visible and near-infrared extinction microspectroscopy on various arrays of gold oblate spheroidal particles deposited onto a 20-nm-thick gold film. At zero incidence angle and for an interparticle spacing smaller than 250 nm, the…
We present a theoretical investigation of the magnetic field dependence of the longitudinal ($T_1$) and transverse ($T_2$) spin relaxation times of conduction band electrons in n-type III-V semiconductors. In particular, we find that the interplay between the Dyakonov-Perel process and an additional spin relaxation ch…
We present a quantitative analysis of the phonon line shapes obtained by neutron inelastic scattering methods in the relaxor ferroelectric $\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Mg}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PMN). Differences in the shapes and apparent positions of the transverse acoustic-- (TA) and transverse optic…
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the relaxor ferroelectric ${\mathrm{PbMg}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PMN) in the temperature range $490\mathrm{K}<T<880\mathrm{K}$ directly observe the soft mode (SM) associated with the Curie-Weiss behavior of the dielectric constant $\ensuremath{\va…
Although the formalism that allows the calculation of alloy thermodynamic properties from first-principles has been known for decades, its practical implementation has so far remained a tedious process. The Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT) drastically simplifies this procedure by implementing decision rules ba…
Analytic and numerical results for quasiperiodic tight-binding models are reviewed, with emphasis on two and three-dimensional models which so far are beyond a mathematically rigorous treatment. In particular, we consider energy spectra of aperiodic tight-binding models and the corresponding level statistics, which ar…
New concept of radiation-induced emission of Schottky defects from extended defects is proposed, which acts in the opposite direction compared with Frenkel pair production, and it results in the radiation-induced recovery processes. The vacancy emission from a void surface results in a shrinkage of the void which is a…
We review recent progress in the studies of left handed materials.
We assign the blinking of nanocrystals to electron tunneling towards a uniform spatial distribution of traps. This naturally explains the power-law distribution of off times, and the power-law correlation function we measured on uncapped CdS dots. Capped dots, on the other hand, present extended on times leading to a…
Bismuth ruthenium oxide with the pyrochlore structure was examined for the cathode of SOFC. The power generating characteristics of the SOFC was examined for the single cell of the SOFC constructed with the pyrochlore cathode with a composition, Bi2Ru2O7, and the yttria stabilized zirconia as the electrolyte. The char…
Nanotubular structures made of cystine-based cyclobisamides assembled by stacking through hydrogen bonding between amidic groups were recently synthesized. A quantum mechanical study at Hartree−Fock and DFT levels was performed on such monomers and dimers, and the obtained geometrical data were compared with the corre…
Abstract A series of fluorinated polysiloxanes (FLSs) with the 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6‐nonafluorohexyl group (C 4 F 9 C 2 H 4 ), 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,11‐heptadecafluoroundecyl group (C 8 F 17 C 3 H 6 ), 3‐(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9‐heptadecafluorononanamido) propyl group [HDFNAG; C 8 F 17 (CO)NHC 3…
Abstract After the protection of partial hydroxyl groups with trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups, hydroxypropyl cellulose becomes soluble in organic solvents, and the number of hydroxyl groups as initiating groups can be controlled. As a result, a new brushlike graft poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) can be prepared with hydroxypropyl ce…
We describe a simple technique to grow small (approximately 1–4 nm) diam carbon nanotubes both in and out of the plane of a silicon substrate using the decomposition of ethylene and a nickel–iron thin film catalyst. This procedure can be used to produce nanotubes for ultrasharp atomic force microscope probes as well a…
Nano-sized Cd3P2 has been confined inside the pore channels of MCM-41 by a surface modification method. XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption/desorption, UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, elemental analysis and XPS techniques were used to characterize the Cd3P2/MCM-41 composites. Cd3P2 nanoclusters were mos…
A model for the dynamical behavior of a hysteretic elastic system is introduced and studied numerically. This model consists of a chain of hysteretic elastic elements. Each elastic element is a spring with properties that depend on an Ising-like state variable having Brownian dynamics in an energy landscape with struc…
The spin-crossover complex [FeL2](BF4)2 undergoes a LIESST transition at 30 K on irradiation; the structures of the low-spin ground and high-spin metastable states at this temperature are presented.
The temperature dependence of electrical properties for SrBi2Ta2O9 thin film capacitors with platinum electrodes (Pt/SBT/Pt) on silicon wafers was studied from 10 to 300 K. With a decrease in temperature from 300 to 200 K, the remanent polarization of the thin films shows about an 11% reduction from its 300 K value; h…
The syntheses, structures, and characterization of four new lead(II)-tellurium(IV)-oxide halides, Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)X(2) and Pb(3)TeO(4)X(2) (X = Cl or Br) are reported. The materials are synthesized by solid-state techniques, using Pb(3)O(2)Cl(2) or Pb(3)O(2)Br(2) and TeO(2) as reagents. The compounds have three-dimensio…
