Well-aligned Cu doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized by simple radio frequency plasma deposition in the absence of extra catalysts. The synthesized nanorods having a typical average diameter of about 60nm, were about 700nm in length and well aligned along the normal direction of the substrate. Magnetic measurements ind…

The 1:1 structural order and B‐site cation order in Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ceramics was significantly enhanced by Zr 4+ substituting Nb 5+ according to the chemical formula Pb(Mg 1/3 Zr 2 x /3 Nb 2(1− x )/3 )O 3− x /3 . The enhanced structural and cation order was revealed by both X‐ray diffraction and transmission ele…

The As-doped p-type (Zn0.93Mn0.07)O layers show a strong dependence of their ferromagnetic properties on the hole conductivity that were controlled through the modification of negative background-charge density by changing the oxygen partial pressure during the initial growth stage before As doping. Curie temperature…

Optical properties of implanted Si in a silicon nitride (Si3N4) thin film have been determined with spectroscopic ellipsometry based on the Tauc–Lorentz (TL) model and the Bruggeman effective medium approximation. It is shown that the suppressed dielectric functions of the implanted Si are dominated by the energy tran…

The authors report the electron field emission from a single carbon nanofiber (CNF) over a range of anode to CNF tip separations of 20–5500nm. Our results show that the field enhancement factor γ is associated with the electrode separation (S). The modified Miller equation is a reasonable empirical model to describe t…

Differences in cashmere production and fleece attributes associated with farm of origin, age and sex were quantified for commercial Australian cashmere goat enterprises. From 11 farms in four states, 1147 does and 97 wethers were monitored, representing 1- to 13-year-old goats. Individual clean cashmere production ran…

We describe the design and fabrication of nanostructured silver split-ring resonators and demonstrate their application as dichroic sensors for multipurpose visible wavelength molecular spectroscopy. By producing arrays of these identical nanostructures, with critical dimensions of 30–150nm, we demonstrate the control…

Abstract The term homogeneous has been applied to molluscan microstructures that lack a readily discernible microstructure and as a result, it has become rather a ‘dustbin’ term, covering a multitude of unrelated finely crystalline textures. Here we investigate in detail the outer ‘homogeneous’ layer of the lyonsiid b…
