In this work, we address modal parameter fluctuations in statistical distributions describing charge-to-breakdown $(Q_{BD})$ and/or time-to-breakdown $(t_{BD})$ during the dielectric breakdown regime of ultra-thin oxides, which are of high interest for the advancement of electronic technology. We reobtain a generalize…

A concept for the fabrication of highly symmetric quantum dots that are coherently embedded in a single crystalline matrix is demonstrated. In this approach, the formation of the quantum dots is induced by a transformation of an epitaxial 2D quantum well into an array of isolated precipitates with dimensions of about…

We report on the recording of 3D optical memories in sol-gel materials by using a non-linear absorption effect. This effect induces a local change of the optical properties of the material which is read and quantified with a high resolution full-field Optical Coherence Tomography setup. It is the first time that this…

In the last years, important non-linear optical results on sol-gel and polymeric materials have been reported, with values comparable to those found in crystals. These new materials contain push-pull chromophores either incorporated as guest in a high Tg polymeric matrix (doped polymers) or grafted onto the polymeric…

We theoretically investigate impurity correlation and magnetic clustering effects on the long-range ferromagnetic ordering in diluted magnetic semiconductors, such as $\textrm{Ga}_{1-x}\textrm{Mn}_{x}\textrm{As}$, using analytical arguments and direct Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain an analytic formula for the ferr…

In situ Raman spectroscopy allows for a detailed and time-resolved investigation of the kinetics of complex physical or chemical processes. Oxidation has become a frequently used method for the removal of disordered carbon species from carbon nanotubes. Oxidation, however, can also induce damage to the tubes and destr…

Confinement alters the energy landscape of nanoscale magnets, leading to the appearance of unusual magnetic states, such as vortices, for example. Many basic questions concerning dynamical and interaction effects remain unanswered, and nanomagnets are convenient model systems for studying these fundamental physical ph…

A convenient, aqueous-based synthesis of stable HgTe nanocrystals with widely size-tunable room temperature emission between wavelengths of 1.2 to 3.7 mum is demonstrated. By the choice of the thiols, applied as stabilizers, we optimized the growth dynamics, the luminescence quantum yields (up to 40%), and a ligand-ex…

Dynamic testing of statically predeformed specimens of magnesium (AM50) shows that the failure strain increases with the level of prestrain. Interrupted and other dynamic tests show that the temperature rise prior to localization has only a minor influence on adiabatic shear band (ASB) formation. For all the tests, th…

The simple strategy of mixing phospholipid liposomes with charged nanoparticles and using sonication to mix them at low volume fraction produces particle-stabilized liposomes that repel one another and do not fuse. Subsequently, the volume fraction can be raised as high as approximately 50%, reversibly, still without…

Abstract A 3D thermoviscoelastic model is proposed to represent the thermomechanical behavior of shape memory polymers. The model is based on a physical understanding of the material behavior and a mechanical interpretation of the stress–strain–temperature changes observed during thermomechanical loading.

The rotating ring disk method is applied to investigate the oxygen reduction reaction on Ag single-crystal surfaces in alkaline solution over the temperature range 293-333 K. At all temperatures, the oxygen reduction reaction proceeds through the 4e- reaction pathway with a very small (approximately 0.5-2%) peroxide f…

We show that the usual sum of R-6 contributions from elements separated by distance R can give qualitatively wrong results for the electromagnetically nonretarded van der Waals interaction between nonoverlapping bodies. This occurs for anisotropic nanostructures that have a zero electronic energy gap, such as metallic…

Thermoluminescence properties of the Eu2+-, R3+-doped calcium aluminate materials, CaAl2O4:Eu2+,R3+, were studied above room temperature. The trap depths were estimated with the aid of the preheating and initial rise methods. The seemingly simple glow curve of CaAl2O4:Eu2+ peaking at ca. 80 degrees C was found to corr…

Abstract The effect of heat treatment on the damping behaviour of a Cu–11.9Al–2.5Mn (wt%) alloy was investigated and correlated with the martensite microstructures. It is found that elevated quenching temperature and rapid cooling can give rise to increased damping capacity due to the formation of favourable martensit…
