Measurements of the two dimensional angular correlation of the electron-positron annihilation radiation have been done in the past to detect the momentum spin density and the Fermi surface. We point out that the momentum spin density and the Fermi Surface of ferromagnetic metals can be revealed within great detail owi…
We report on the growth of heterostructures composed of layers of the high-Curie temperature ferromagnet Co-doped $(\mathrm{La},\mathrm{Sr}){\mathrm{TiO}}_{3}$ (Co-LSTO) with high-mobility ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ (STO) substrates processed at low oxygen pressure. While perpendicular spin-dependent transport measurement…
We demonstrate tunnel magnetoresistance junctions based on a trilayer system consisting of an epitaxial NiMnSb, an aluminum oxide, and a CoFe trilayer. The junctions show a tunneling magnetoresistance of ΔR∕R of 8.7% at room temperature which increases to 14.7% at 4.2K. The layers show a clear separate switching and a…
We propose a simple formula for fitting the electron ionization mean free paths in solids both at high and at low electron energies. The free-electron-gas approximation used for predicting electron mean free paths is no longer valid at low impact energies [(E−EF)<50eV], as the band structure effects become sign…
Abstract Natural oils and fats are emerging as a biobased alternative feedstock to conventional crude oil in the production of chemicals and transportation fuel. However, many of these biobased chemicals are not currently cost competitive with petrochemicals because of high raw material and production costs. To improv…
In this Brief Report we experimentally demonstrate a possibility to channel the near field distribution of a line source with sub-wavelength details through a layer of an electromagnetic crystal. Channeled intensity maximum having radius of $\ensuremath{\lambda}∕10$ has been obtained using an electrically dense lattic…
Our study of the adsorption of oxygen molecules on individual semiconductiong single-walled carbon nanotubes at ambient conditions reveals that the adsorption is physisorption, the resistance without O2 increases by approximately two orders of magnitude as compared to that with O2, and the sensitive response is due to…
A novel high-pressure apparatus and technique were developed to measure CO2/water/solid contact angles (theta) in situ for pressures up to 204 bar. For two glass substrates with different hydrophilicities, theta increased significantly with CO2 pressure. As the pressure was increased, an increase in the cohesive energ…
We have studied theoretically optical reflection spectra from the Bragg multiple quantum well structures. We give an analytical explanation of the presence of two special frequencies in the spectra at which the reflection coefficient weakly depends on the quantum well number. The influence of the exciton nonradiative…
The wide-angle scattering of X-rays by anisotropic powders of nano-layered crystallites (nano-stacks) is addressed. Assuming that the orientation distribution probability function f of the nano-stacks only depends on the deviation of the crystallites' orientation from a fixed reference direction, we derive a relation…
We have modified Landau-Khalatnikov approach and shown that both the polar lattice and the screened charged defects determine the response of disordered ferroelectric-semiconductors. This system exhibits the spatially inhomogeneous switching under the external field while Landau-Khalatnikov model describes homogeneous…
It is demonstrated that under common conditions a molecular solid subject to Jahn-Teller interactions supports stable Q-ball-like nontopological solitons. Such solitons represent a localized lump of excess electric charge in periodic motion accompanied by a time-dependent shape distortion of a set of adjacent molecule…
The nature of the primary photoexcitations in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (S-SWCNTs) is of strong current interest. We have studied the emission spectra of S-SWCNTs and two different $\ensuremath{\pi}$-conjugated polymers in solutions and films, and have also performed ultrafast pump-probe spectrosco…
Abstract Bioinspired electron-transfer systems including artificial photosynthesis and respiration are presented herein together with some of their applications. First, multi-step electron-transfer systems composed of electron donor–acceptor ensembles have been developed, mimicking functions of the photosynthetic reac…
There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers. Cellulose and chitin are classical examples of these reinforcing elements, which occur as whisker-like microfibrils that are biosynthesized and…
Abstract Specific surface area measurements of The Clay Minerals Society source clays were made by the Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) method of adsorption of nitrogen gas. Two replicate measurements of specific surface area were performed for each source clay. All pair values were within 3%, which is very good agre…
A new quantitative thin-film X-ray analysis procedure termed the zeta-factor method is proposed. This new zeta-factor method overcomes the two major limitations of the conventional Cliff-Lorimer method for quantification: (1) use of pure-element rather than multielement, thin-specimen standards and (2) built-in X-ray…
In this study, we have developed a novel route to the synthesis of ZnO nanorings, disks, and diskoidlike crystals on a large scale by a facile solution-based method by using polymers as crystal growth modifiers. The crystals precipitated with polyacrylamide (PAM) as the additive show ringlike morphology. A possible gr…
Abstract Careful analytical determinations show that the gold‐catalysed aerobic oxidation of glucose occurs through a two‐electrons mechanism leading to gluconate and hydrogen peroxide. This latter decomposes before reaching the critical concentration for competing with O 2 in glucose oxidation. A mechanism of glucose…
This review deals with recent progress on the development of nanocomposite materials formed by conducting organic polymers (COPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNs), both from a fundamental and applied point of view. The combination of the unique properties of CNs with COPs makes of these materials interesting multifunctional…
