A large improvement of the effective lifetime of n-type phosphorus doped multicrystalline silicon to reach 950 μs has been realized by combining both two step phosphorus treatments and surface oxidation. The average lifetime increases after the phosphorus diffusion process is mainly attributed to the remove of killer…

The relaxation of vibrational energy in the H and D stretch modes has been studied on the graphene surface using ab initio calculations. The dissipation of the vibrational energy stored in the stretching modes proceeds through vibration-phonon coupling, while the dissipation through electronic excitations makes only m…

This article reports on the optical properties of Er3+ ions doped CdO-Bi2O3-B2O3 (CdBiB) glasses. The materials were characterized by optical absorption and emission spectra. By using Judd-Ofelt theory, the intensity parameters Ω(λ) (λ = 2, 4, 6) and also oscillatory strengths were calculated from the absorption spect…

Quick x-ray reflectivity (QXRR) is a new surface examination technique for studying fast processes at the surface and interface of the materials on a nano-scale. The currently available models for classical scanning-type x-ray reflectivity cannot be applied directly to the QXRR simulations. The present article propose…

By introducing artificial pinning sites to locally modify coercivity in perpendicularly magnetized TbFeCo wires, strip domains were constructed without expense of specimen damage. The construction of strip domains with well-defined shape and controllable number enables a determination of magneto-resistance contributin…

The processing of solids, such as crystals, is strongly influenced by the surface properties of the material. In recent years the pharmaceutical industry has shown great interest in identifying, or chemically speciating, the molecular components of crystal faces. Formerly, characterization of the molecular identity of…

Effects of curcumin, a major constituent of turmeric, on ecto-nucleotidases have not been clarified. Here, we investigated whether curcumin affects ecto-nucleotidase activities in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. In the cells, high levels of Mg(2+)-dependent activity of ecto-nucleotidases were observed in t…

Abstract A photosensitizer-Eosin and a reductant-D-Xylose were used in the photogalvanic cell for photochemical conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The generated photopotential and photocurrent were 825.0 mV and 250.0 μA, respectively, whereas maximum power of the cell was 206.25 μW. The observed power…

The ferromagnetic properties of erbium-doped GaN (GaN:Er) epilayers grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition were studied. It is found that the different tensile strains produced by the respective lattice mismatch for different substrates used (GaN/Al2O3, AlN/Al2O3, GaN/Si (111), and c-GaN bulk) correlate well…

Recently we showed how crystallization in microemulsions could lead directly to the most stable polymorph, thereby leapfrogging Ostwald’s rule of stages. Here we consider in more details the crystallization of mefenamic acid from dimethylformamide microemulsions. Crystallization of mefenamic acid from bulk DMF has pre…
