We fabricated 4.75in. diagonal field emitter arrays with a double-gated structure in which the carbon nanotubes were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition using CO and H2 as feed gases. The nanotubes grown directly inside gate holes were used as an emitter. The diameter of the gate hole opening was as small as 4μm,…

The magnon dispersion in the charge, orbital, and spin ordered phase in La1/2Sr3/2MnO4 has been studied by means of inelastic neutron scattering. We find excellent agreement with a magnetic interaction model based on the CE-type superstructure. The magnetic excitations are dominated by ferromagnetic exchange parameter…

The electronic states of $\mathrm{Cd}\mathrm{S}∕\mathrm{Cd}\mathrm{Se}∕\mathrm{Cd}\mathrm{S}$ colloidal nanocrystal quantum-dot quantum wells are studied by large-scale pseudopotential local density approximation (LDA) calculations. Using this approach, we determine the effects of CdS core size, CdSe well thickness, a…

We studied an evolution of local structure and medium-range ordering in relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Zn1∕3Nb2∕3)O3 (PZN) from 550 to 15K using neutron pair distribution function analysis. We show that the local structure of PZN is distorted at all temperatures studied. With decreasing temperature, a medium-range ordering…

Silver chloride/polyaniline (PANI) core-shell composites were synthesized through a facile one-step process in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). PVP not only acted as an anchor agent leading to the formation of the core-shell structure but also prevented the aggregation of PANI efficiently. Transmission elec…

We report on intrinsic p-type ZnO thin films by plasma-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The optimal results give a resistivity of 12.7Ωcm, a Hall mobility of 2.6cm2∕Vs, and a hole concentration of 1.88×1017cm−3. The oxygen concentration is increased in the intrinsic p-type ZnO, compared with the n-typ…

Fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) were fabricated with a Co-based full-Heusler alloy Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al (CCFA) thin film, whose composition was close to the stoichiometric one, and a MgO tunnel barrier. Cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscope observations indicated that all layers…

The interface capacitance model is briefly revised. It is emphasized that this is a device model related to the boundary condition for polarization and unable to explain the thickness evolution of the ferroelectric properties. The model can be applied to extract the properties of the film from those measured in the ca…

ZnO thin films have been grown along the nonpolar [101¯0] direction by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The ZnO (101¯0) surface develops well defined facets. The orientation of the topographic normals reveals that the inclination angle of the facets increases as thicker films are considered, attaining a maximum valu…
