PbSe colloidal nanocrystals were used to fabricate infrared photodetectors. Low dark currents were obtained by using chemical treatments to improve the nanocrystal film quality and passivate traps in the nanocrystals. The effects of different nanocrystal capping groups, including oleic acid, octylamine, ethanedithiol,…

Abstract A nanodiamond thin film is deposited on a single crystal silicon substrate by dip‐coating technique. Surface characterization of the unannealed nanodiamond sample, and the samples annealed at various temperatures in nitrogen ambient, is conducted by XPS and Raman spectroscopy. The fitting data of the C1s core…

A maximum excess volume ΔV/V ≈ 1.9 × 10(-3) in ultrafine-grained Fe prepared by high-pressure torsion is determined by measurements of the irreversible length change upon annealing employing a high-resolution differential dilatometer. Since dislocations and equilibrium-type grain boundaries cannot fully account for th…

Identifying the two distinctive wetting states on a nanostructured surface remains an open challenge. We report here a direct method of tracing the Wenzel and Cassie states by using Ag nanoparticles as tracing agents. The method provides an answer to the long-standing question of whether there is a transition from the…

Analysis of the genome sequences of the major human bacterial pathogens has provided a large amount of information concerning their metabolic potential. However, our knowledge of the actual metabolic pathways and metabolite fluxes occurring in these pathogens under infection conditions is still limited. In this study,…

We present a detailed study of a dilute suspension of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB) liquid crystal (LC) by probing the dielectric properties as a function of applied ac voltage and frequency. In principle, to minimize the elastic distortion in the nematic matrix, the monodispersed CNTs follow…

Abstract Micron scale ferroelectric (FE) domains have been written into a 20‐nm‐thick epitaxial thin film of BaTiO 3 (001) [BTO(001)] on a Nb‐doped SrTiO 3 substrate using a piezoforce microscope (PFM). The domain‐dependent electronic structure has been studied using fully energy‐filtered photoemission electron micros…

Chemical mapping at atomic-column resolution by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy in a spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been demonstrated for the 1.47-A dumbbell structure in InGaAs. The structural imaging and the chemical information in the two-dimensional map are…

Nd2Fe14B magnetic nanoparticles have been successfully produced using a surfactant-assisted ball milling technique. The nanoparticles with different size about 6, 20 and 300 nm were obtained by a size-selection process. Spin-reorientation transition temperature of the NdFeB nanoparticles was then determined by measuri…

Whereas spintronics brings the spin degree of freedom to electronic devices, molecular/organic electronics adds the opportunity to play with the chemical versatility. Here we show how, as a contender to commonly used inorganic materials, organic/molecular based spintronics devices can exhibit very large magnetoresista…

Epitaxial growth of topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films on nominally flat and vicinal Si(111) substrates is studied. In order to achieve planner growth front and better quality epifilms, a two-step growth method is adopted for the van der Waal epitaxy of Bi2Se3 to proceed. By employing vicinal Si(111) substrate su…

We study the current controlled modulation of a nano-contact spin torque oscillator. Three principally different cases of frequency non-linearity ($d^{2}f/dI^{2}_{dc}$ being zero, positive, and negative) are investigated. Standard non-linear frequency modulation theory is able to accurately describe the frequency shif…

The docking accuracy of Glide was evaluated using 16 different docking protocols on 190 protein-fragment complexes representing 78 targets. Standard precision docking (Glide SP) based protocols showed the best performance. The average root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) between the docked and cocrystallized poses achiev…

Precision continuous-wave NMR measurements have been carried out over the entire magnetization curve of EuO and are presented in tabular form. Two very closely spaced resonances are observed and are attributed to domain and domain-wall signals. Both of the signals are useful for analysis in the spin-wave region. Only…

Dark current is shown to be significantly reduced in quantum well infrared photodetectors in the tunneling regime, i.e. at very low temperature, by shifting the dopant impurity layers away from the central part of the wells. This result confirms that the interwell tunneling current is dominated by charged impurity sca…
