The effects of AlOx-cap layer on the optical and photoelectrical properties of ZnO films have been studied by cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL), and photoconductivity (PC). Both the PL and CL show that the cap layer improves the emission characteristics of ZnO by enhancing the band-edge emission while a…

Magnetization, electrical-resistance and specific-heat measurements have been performed on the ABO 3 -type half-doped Eu 0.5 Sr 0.5 MnO 3 manganite compound. These studies reveal successive sharp step-like metamagnetic transitions at low temperatures. The steps are sharp at T ⩽ 3 K but smeared above 3 K, signifying th…

We report a critical enhancement of the nonlinear optical response of dye-doped liquid crystals obtained by approaching the clearing point in the nematic phase. The enhancement of the nonlinear diffraction efficiency has been measured in the range 0.2–0.3 deg below the nematic-isotropic transition temperature. It allo…

We report on the cluster glass nature and photoinduced magnetization (PIM) of (Ni,Zn,Fe,Ti)3O4 thin films prepared using a pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) technique. The films exhibit cluster glass behaviors with a spin-freezing temperature Tf of approximately 230 K. It was found that the magnetization increases followi…

Polypyrrole films doped with ABTS {2,2‘-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)} show multicolor electrochromism: the anodic coloration from brown at 0.0 V to greenish blue at 0.8 V due to oxidation of ABTS to its radical; and the cathodic coloration to yellow (−1.0 V) based on the reduction of polypyrrole itself.

Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) has attracted great attention both experimentally and theoretically in the past few years. The identification of the presence and the amount of NCD in amorphous carbon film has been a challenging issue. Although Raman spectroscopy has become a standard tool for the characterization of var…

The magnetoresistance (MR) in cold-pressed magnetite nanopowders has been studied using pulsed magnetic field up to 42 T and steady field up to 12 T. Ball milling in air produces pure and stoichiometric Fe3O4 grains of nanometric size coated by a thin layer of Fe2O3, which electrically isolates the magnetite and acts…

Micrometer-sized carbon–cobalt spheres are demonstrated to be formed by the pyrolysis at 650 °C of a dicobalthexacarbonyl-complexed poly(p-phenyleneethynylene) derivative (see Figure). The spheres are obtained in quantitative yield and are shown to be composed of cobalt, carbon, and potentially a small amount of oxyge…

We propose a dynamic structure of coupled dynamic molecular strings for supercooled small polar molecule liquids and accordingly we obtain the Hamiltonian of the rotational degrees of freedom of the system. From the Hamiltonian, the strongly correlated supercooled polar liquid state is renormalized to a normal superdi…
