The current-voltage relationship dominated by space-charge-limited conduction for high dielectric constant and ferroelectric thin films, including (Ba,Sr)TiO3 and Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, is derived taking into account the electric field dependence of permittivity. Typical current-voltage characteristics are given by the derived…

Site-specific dopant profiling across a silicon p-n junction has been performed in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) on samples prepared using focused ion beam (FIB) milling. The results are compared with the dopant contrast obtained after using non-site-specific cleaving and tripod polishing of specimens. FIB mi…

Dislocation nucleation at a surface step is analyzed based on a general variational boundary integral formulation of the Peierls–Nabarro dislocation model. By modelling the surface step as part of the surface of a three-dimensional crack, the free surface effect is taken into account by transferring the half space pro…

Using Brenner’s second generation reactive empirical bond order potential, we show by molecular dynamics that the single-walled carbon nanotube with a diameter of about 5nm under axial strain possesses excellent reversible mechanical bistability. This feature provides a high potential of using only one single-walled c…

ABSTRACT Partial monoacyl esters of glycerol and fatty acids (monoacylglycerols) exhibit amphiphatic properties and are widely used as potent surfactants, antistatics, antibacterial compounds and lubricants. Pure 1‐monoacylglycerols may be prepared by the addition of individual fatty acids to glycidol. This work deals…

After annealing at 900°C, the ferromagnetic properties of (Zn0.93Mn0.07)O thin films were dramatically improved. The resultant remanent magnetization (Mr) and Curie temperature (TC) were 1.17μB∕Mn and 83K. The improvement of ferromagnetism was confirmed to as resulting from the enhancement of magnetic anisotropy. This…
