In our previous report (Takagaki et al 2011 Semicond. Sci. Technol. 26 085031), we have demonstrated that the Bi atoms in Bi 2 Se 3 are substituted by the substrate atoms when its growth is attempted on the surface of transition metals using the hot-wall-epitaxy method. Here, we show that the substitution takes place…

This study presents a novel composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) unit cell with high time-delay (TD) efficiency for the design of true-time-delay lines (TTDLs). Shorter inter-digital fingers are used in a symmetrical CRLH TL unit cell to reduce the size by 58% and form a compact CRLH TL unit cell. T…

The mixed Cu and Zn oxide (Cu/ZnO) nanoparticles have been synthesized using Brassica juncea L. plants. The synthesized Cu/ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS). It was found that the synthesized Cu/ZnO nanoparticles…

The c-Fos-c-Jun complex forms the activator protein 1 transcription factor, a therapeutic target in the treatment of cancer. Various synthetic peptides have been designed to try to selectively disrupt the interaction between c-Fos and c-Jun at its leucine zipper domain. To evaluate the binding affinity between these s…

The effects of time and stress state on fracture behaviors and mechanisms of polyvinyl chloride foam have been evaluated by varying displacement rates (0.1 to 1000 mm/min) and specimen thicknesses (5 to 37.5 mm). For thin specimens, the crack tips were under plane-stress condition at all displacement rates. The excess…

Highly aqueously dispersible (soluble) TiO2 nanoparticles are usually synthesized by a solution-based sol-gel (solvolysis/condensation) process, and no direct precipitation of titania has been reported. This paper proposes a new approach to synthesize stable TiO2 nanoparticles by a non-solvolytic method - direct liqui…

We synthesized a loosely packed submicrometer silica-sphere (LPSS) monolayer at room temperature and used the LPSS monolayer as the frontside light-trapping structure for n-i-p-type amorphous Si (a-Si) solar cells (SCs) to improve photovoltaic characteristics of the cells. The frontside LPSS monolayer plays a role as…

Abstract When forming unipolar resistance switching in material systems, fatal damage often occurs to the top electrodes of Pt/SrTiO x /Pt, Pt/TiO y /Pt and Pt/NiO z /Pt cells. To develop a means of overcoming this problem, we systematically investigated the forming process by applying triangular- and pulse-waveform v…

Actinic mask defect inspection and metrology requires high-brightness extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) sources. The self-absorption of radiation limits the in-band EUV radiance of the source plasma and makes it difficult to attain the necessary brightness and power from a conventional single unit EUV source. One possible sol…
