Abstract On the basis of a quantum‐chemical description of the lowest singlet electronic excited states of bi‐chromophoric model systems, we have disentangled the through‐bond (TB) from the through‐space (TS) contributions to the electronic interactions mediating energy hopping in rigid‐rod conjugated polymers. While…
First-principles calculations indicate that the chalcogenide spinels CdxCu1−xCr2S4 and CdxCu1−xCr2Se4 can be ferromagnetic metals, half-metals, or semiconductors depending on the Cd concentration x. In particular, CdxCu1−xCr2S4 can be tuned to be effectively half-metallic for x values between 0.25 and 0.875 and CdxCu1…
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were functionalized by oxygen plasma treatment. Photoelectron spectroscopy study of oxygen plasma treated MWNTs (O-MWNTs) shows surface modification with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. C60 decoration of MWNTs were carried out by thermal evaporation and more dense distribution of C60…
We examine and compare ballistic performance limits of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors with monolayer and bilayer graphene channels. Under low source-drain biases and cryogenic temperatures, the leakage current of the bilayer device is orders of magnitude smaller than that of the monolayer device. T…
We have performed a systematic Hall measurement on the GaMnAs ferromagnetic films. The angular dependences of the Hall effects were obtained by changing the magnetic field angle in two different crystal planes [i.e., (001) and (110)]. The in-plane and out-of-plane anisotropy fields were obtained by analyzing the angul…
Polyethylene-grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PE-g-MWNT) were used to reinforce polyethylene (PE). The nanocomposites possessed not only improved stiffness and strength, but also increased ductility and toughness. The effects on the structure and morphology of composites due to pristine multiwalled carbon nanotub…
Although a directed assembly strategy has been utilized for the massive assembly of various nanowires and nanotubes (NWs/NTs), its application has usually been limited to rather small-diameter NWs/NTs prepared in solution. We report two complementary methods for the massive assembly of large-size ZnO nanowires (NWs).…
We report the use of a magnetic instability of the spin reorientation transition type to enhance the magnetoelectric sensitivity in magnetostrictive-piezoelectric structures. We present the theoretical study of a clamped beam resonant actuator composed of a piezoelectric element on a nonpiezo substrate actuated by a m…
Phase change memory (PCM) cells with T-shaped structure using tungsten heater were fabricated and the cell characteristics concerning the programing pulse width were also investigated in this work. The numerical modeling shows the thermal nonuniformity over the active region due to the considerable thermal sink of tun…
Using an oblique angle codeposition technique, 0–8at.% Ti has been doped into Mg and aligned nanostructure arrays, composed of hexagonal Mg single crystals with preferred orientations, are formed. Ti doping produces nanorod structures instead of the nanoblade structures that are formed from pure Mg deposition. This is…
We found enhanced upconverted fluorescence in Nd3+-doped fluorozirconate glasses which were additionally doped with chlorine ions. Upon annealing between 240 and 290°C, hexagonal phase BaCl2 nanocrystals between 20 and 180nm in diameter were formed in the glass. During the thermal processing, some of the Nd3+ ions ent…
We present a molecular dynamics study of a generic model for single polymer diffusion on surfaces, which have variable atomic-scale corrugation but no artificial, impenetrable obstacles. The diffusion coefficient D scales as D is proportional to (-3/2) with the degree of polymerization N for strongly adsorbed, linear…
Abstract Cast‐hybrid films composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and silver nitrate were treated according to three different ways, thermal annealing, UV‐irradiation, and chemical reduction by a borohydride solution, to obtain PVA/silver nanocomposite films. The nanostructuration process was studied as a function of the…
The phase change memory cell with 8nm TiO2 layer inserted between phase change material Ge2Sb2Te5 and bottom heating electrode tungsten was fabricated. It showed an advanced electrical threshold switching characteristics in the dc current-voltage measurement with the much lower value of threshold voltage of 1.5V. The…
Magnetic nanoparticles with core/shell structures are an important class of functional materials, possessing unique magnetic properties due to their tailored dimensions and compositions. This paper reviews mainly our recent advances in the preparation and characterizations of core/shell structured magnetic materials,…
The optical transmittance spectrum is influenced by inhomogeneities in germanium arsenoselenide thin films. The non-uniformity of thickness, found under the present deposition conditions, gives rise to a clear shrinking of the interference fringes of the transmittance spectrum at normal incidence. Inaccuracies and eve…
The electron diffusion coefficient at varying porosity has been determined in a series of nanostructured TiO(2) films of different initial thicknesses. The porosity was changed by applying different pressures prior to sintering, thereby modifying the internal morphology of the films though not their chemical and surfa…
A statistical theory is proposed to describe the jerky deformation of micron-sized crystal pillars. The probability for a specimen surviving the applied load without generating a strain burst of a given order is analytically expressed in terms of the nucleation rate of that burst. The survival probability can be measu…
Abstract A series of poly(1,4‐cyclohexylenedimethylene 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylate) (PCCD) samples, characterized by different cis / trans ratio of the 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarbonyl unit, have been synthesized and analyzed by thermogravimetry (TGA), calorimetry (DSC), and X‐ray diffraction (WAXD). The thermal stability r…
