We demonstrate that ultrathin poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVP) acts as an effective organic seeding layer for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of high-k dielectric on large-scale graphene fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). While identical ALD conditions result in incomplete and rough dielectric deposition on CVD gra…

Bi2Ba2Co2Ox thermoelectric (TE) ceramics have been grown from the melt using the laser floating zone method at different growth rates (15, 30 and 90 mm h−1). Microstructural analysis has shown an improvement of the grain alignment and a reduction of secondary phases when the growth speed is decreased. These microstruc…

A phase-field model for describing three-phase electrode microstructure (i.e., electrode-phase, electrolyte-phase, and pore-phase) in solid oxide fuel cells is proposed using the diffuse-interface theory. Conserved composition and non-conserved grain orientation order parameters are simultaneously used to describe the…

Room-temperature ferromagnetism was achieved in un-doped ZnO films on silicon and quartz substrates. Photoluminescence measurement and positron annihilation analysis suggested that the ferromagnetism was originated from singly occupied oxygen vacancies (roughly estimated as ∼0.55 μB/vacancy), created in ZnO films by a…

Dip-coating, an important industrial technique, has been underexploited for preparing block copolymer (BC) thin films, such that the knowledge regarding their general characteristics is limited. Here, we present an overview of the crucial factors that determine how BC film morphology evolves as a function of dip-coati…

The concept of light amplification in a system of zero-index metamaterial with gain inserts is studied. We demonstrate that the radiation from a point source embedded in the system can be effectively amplified and the net gain is independent of the positions of gain inserts and the source. We further investigate how t…

This paper reports a study of vibrational, structural and morphological properties of molybdenum oxide nanoribbons. Temperature‐dependent Raman spectroscopy measurements in MoO 3 nanoribbons revealed morphological changes in the 150–350 °C temperature range. No structural phase transitions were observed, thus showing…
