We demonstrate electrical injection and detection of spin-polarized electrons in silicon (Si) using epitaxially grown Fe_3Si/Si Schottky-tunnel-barrier contacts. By an insertion of a delta-doped n^+-Si layer (~ 10^19 cm^-3) near the interface between a ferromagnetic Fe_3Si/Si contact and a Si channel (~ 10^15 cm^-3),…
ZnS:Mn thin films were deposited on quartz, Si (polycrystalline), and glass substrates using a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method in an aqueous solution containing ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid disodium salt (Na 2 EDTA) as the complexing agent for zinc ions and thioacetamide (TAA) as the sulfide source at temp…
Excited-state relaxation dynamics of a gold cluster, the anion Au 25 (SCH 2 CH 2 Ph) 18 −, with a known crystal structure are measured with femtosecond laser spectroscopies. The cluster consists of an icosahedral Au 13 core bonded to six Au 2 (SCH 2 CH 2 Ph) 3 semirings. Pump−probe experiments excite Au 13 core electr…
We demonstrate the induction of a giant Rashba-type spin-splitting on a semiconducting substrate by means of a Bi trimer adlayer on a Si(111) wafer. The in-plane inversion symmetry is broken so that the in-plane potential gradient induces a giant spin-splitting with a Rashba energy of about 140 meV, which is more than…
Very high precision measurements of the electron Lande g-factor in GaAs are presented using spin-quantum beat spectroscopy at low excitation densities and temperatures ranging from 2.6 to 300 K. In colligation with available data for the temperature dependent effective mass a temperature dependence of the interband ma…
A considerable challenge is faced by researchers wishing to identify the propagation vector(s) associated with a magnetic structure or a lattice distortion from powder diffraction data, due to the severe destruction of information by powder averaging and search algorithms based on extracted peak positions. In this art…
In this paper we study deformation, failure and breakage of visco-elastic thin films of aging laponite suspension under tensile deformation field. Aqueous suspension of laponite is known to undergo waiting time dependent evolution of its micro-structure, also known as aging, which is accompanied by an increase in the…
Poly(aryleneethynylene)s (PAE) are easily synthesized, chemically stable, and color-responsive towards their surroundings. These superbly chromic polymers are attractive as active transducers in sensors and advanced organic electronic devices. PAEs are generally fluorescent with emission maxima ranging from 420-600 nm…
Three- and two-dimensional chirality arising from the mutual orientation of non-chiral planar metamaterial structures and the incident electromagnetic wave (extrinsic chirality) lead to pronounced optical activity, circular dichroism and asymmetric transmission indistinguishable from those seen in media consisting of…
Density-functional theory calculations have been carried out to systematically study single surface oxygen vacancies on ${\text{CeO}}_{2}(111)$. It is surprisingly found that multiple structures with the two excess electrons localized at different positions can exist. We show that the origin of the multiconfigurations…
Photomechanical bending of trans-4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene microcrystals was observed. Upon UV irradiation, the (001) face of the platelike microcrystals bent quickly in the direction opposite the light source, reaching the maximum deflection after 0.5 s. The microcrystal returned to its initial flat shape 30 s afte…
Abstract The major cause of failure of DC‐GIS is due to presence of foreign particles causing partial discharges in the insulation structure. The particle movement in gas insulated system (GIS) radiates electromagnetic waves and the bandwidth of the signal lies in the range 1–2 GHz. Increase in applied DC voltage/pres…
We performed an ab initio total energy investigation of hexagonal (wurtzite and graphitic) and zinc blende ZnO nanowires (NWs) aligned along the [0001] and [111] directions, respectively, as a function of the NW diameter. We have considered unpassivated and (hydrogen) passivated NW surfaces. For the unpassivated syste…
Sonoluminescence is the intriguing phenomenon of strong light flashes from tiny bubbles in a liquid. The bubbles are driven by an ultrasonic wave and need to be filled with noble gas atoms. Approximating the emitted light by blackbody radiation indicates very high temperatures. Although sonoluminescence has been studi…
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of polymer molecular weight and surface curvature on the adsorption of polymers onto concave surfaces. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) of various molecular weights was adsorbed onto porous aluminum oxide membranes having various pore sizes, ranging from 32 to…
Microstructure evolution and electrical conductivity relaxation kinetics in highly textured and nanocrystalline dense ceria thin films (approximately 65 nm) are reported in this paper. Highly textured films were grown on sapphire c-plane substrates by molecular beam synthesis (MBS) with orientation relationship (111)C…
NMR measurements have been performed on single crystals of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ (x = 0, 0.45) and CaFe$_2$As$_2$ grown from Sn flux. The Ba-based pnictide crystals contain significant amounts of Sn in their structure, $\sim 1$%, giving rise to magnetic impurity effects evident in the NMR spectrum and in the m…
Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the electronic structure of CoSb(3) compound by considering the spin-orbit interaction. Within the framework of Boltzmann theory, the transport coefficient (power factor) is evaluated as a function of chemical potential assuming a rigid-band picture and constant rela…
Abstract Working on the chain gang : A simple method for the controlled assembly of metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag, and Pt) into 1D chains (see figure) has been developed based on the electrostatic interaction of negatively charged carboxylic groups on the citrate ions surrounding the NPs and the positively charged chito…
The interaction of gold with CeO2 layers was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. 65 nm thick Au doped CeO2 layers were deposited by rf-magnetron sputtering on a Si(0 0 1) substrate by using a composite CeO2–Au target. The laboratory XPS and synchrotron radiation soft x-ray and hard x-ray photoemission spect…
