Room temperature photoluminescence was measured from p-type Czochralski silicon processed to contain oxide precipitates. No detectable luminescence was associated with unstrained oxide precipitates. Strained oxide precipitates gave rise to a broad luminescence peak centred at ∼1600 nm. The intensity of the peak increa…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were modified with polystyrene (PS) using self-initiated photografting photopolymerization. In order to optimize their utilization in CNT/polymer nanocomposites, a thorough characterization of their dispersions in solvents is of key importance. Using small-angle scattering, we have studied the…

We present a model to understand the effect of temperature on the electrical resistance of individual semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) of various diameters under various electric fields. The temperature dependence of the resistance of s-SWCNTs and metallic SWCNTs (m-SWCNTs) are compared. These re…

The thermoelectric properties of polycrystalline nanostructured EuTiO3−δ samples are improved by a substitution of 2% Nb for Ti. The figure of merit (ZT) was measured to reach ZT(EuTi0.98Nb0.02O3−δ) ≈ 0.4 at T = 1040 K while ZT(EuTiO3−δ) ≈ 0.3 at the same temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectra reveal that the in-gap…
