Abstract Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) in its pure form is highly unstable, yet some organisms produce stable ACC, and cases are known in which ACC functions as a transient precursor of more stable crystalline aragonite or calcite. Studies of biogenic ACC show that there are significant structural differences, inc…

Crystals of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 were grown by a solution method. We found that an appropriate amount of KCl addition to the K 2 CO 3 flux can facilitate the growth of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 crystals and suppress the crystallization of Ca 3 Co 2 O 6 , which is the decomposed phase of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 . Using a flux composition of K 2 CO…

Chalcogenide glasses are promising candidates for all-optical switching and various nonlinear applications. However, we show that As2S3 thin films are photosensitive at wavelengths in the 1.5-microm telecommunication window. This sensitivity is evidenced by the formation of self-written waveguides in slabs, where chan…

X-ray and neutron diffraction and dielectric measurements were performed for the antiferroelectric phase of PbZrO 3 . The antiferroelectric Σ 3 (TO) and the R 25 superlattice-reflection intensities, and the pseudo-tetragonal lattice distortion of the perovskite sublattice showed the same temperature dependence below r…

We report first-principle total-energy electronic-structure calculations in the density functional theory performed for zigzag carbon nanotubes with finite length. We find that the electronic structure of the finite-length nanotubes exhibits certain magnetic ordering. Detailed analyses of energy levels and spin densit…

The phonon-dispersion curves of the YAlO 3 crystal are calculated on the basis of a rigid-ion model using the measured frequency values by Raman and infrared polarized spectroscopy at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the molar heat capacity of YAlO 3 is also calculated using the one-phonon density of st…

Density functional calculations using model clusters were performed to clarify the atomic-scale diffusion mechanism of an O 2 molecule or an O atom in SiO 2 . The activation energy required for the atomic O diffusion was estimated to be 1.3 eV, whereas that for the molecular O 2 diffusion was revealed to be fairly low…

The crystal and magnetic structures of an ordered double perovskite, Ca 2 FeReO 6 , were studied by high-resolution neutron powder diffraction as a function of the temperature from 7 K to 550 K. All of the diffraction data were precisely refined by the Rietveld method, and we confirmed a structural phase transition at…

By using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (p-CVD), we grew vertically aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly on a nickel-silicide layer, which can be used as electrodes for metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). By using a nickel-silicide layer as a catalyst, the nanotube di…

Phase diagrams of charge order patterns of the θ-phase organic conductors are investigated on the basis of the static-limit extended Hubbard model including the second nearest Coulomb repulsion V '. Since the θ-phase is close to the triangular lattice rather than the square lattice, a 3-fold non-stripe charge order is…

Fractal zone plates (FZPs), i.e., zone plates with a fractal structure, are described. The focusing properties of this new type of zone plate are compared with those of conventional Fresnel zone plates. It is shown that the axial irradiance exhibited by the FZP has self-similarity properties that can be correlated to…

Si(100) surfaces were prepared by wet-chemical etching followed by 0.3-1.5keV Ar ion sputtering, either at elevated or room temperature. After a brief anneal under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, the resulting surfaces were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy. We find that wet-chemical etching alone cannot produce…
