Abstract CuPc thin films were grown on the hydrogenated vicinal Si(111) surfaces by organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD). Spectroscopic ellipsometry was employed to determine the refractive index ( n ) and extinction coefficient ( k ). Furthermore, the ratio of the out‐of‐plane to the in‐plane absorption intensity…

We have determined quantitatively third-order anharmonic phonon coupling matrix elements in vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) grown ZnO nanowires, via an analysis of the Raman line shape of the E2high phonon mode. The results suggest that the decay of the E2high phonon into the sum of two acoustic phonons is suppressed in VLS-…

A multichannel carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (MC-CNTFET) with compound channel layer has been built. In this MC-CNTFET, a dispersedly directed array of long single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is used as primary channel layer and a randomly aligned monolayer network of short SWCNTs acts as secondary set…

The time, yield and related genes expression of PHB accumulation of Acidiphilium cryptum DX1-1 were investigated under four different initial C/N ratios 1.2, 2.4, 7.5, and 24. The results of time and yield of PHB accumulation show that the initial C/N ratio 2.4 was optimum for strain DX1-1 to accumulate PHB, both high…

Light emitting field effect transistors based on narrow layers of silicon nanocrystals (NCs) in the gate oxide were fabricated. Direct quantum mechanical electron and hole tunneling into NCs was achieved by self-alignment of NCs-interface-distances to ∼2 nm. The direct tunneling reduces oxide degradation, prolongs dev…

Abstract Top gated graphene field effect transistors with AlN and Si 3 N 4 gate insulator materials were fabricated by plasma assisted deposition. Transistors with an AlN top gate insulator showed a reduced mobility and channel carrier density, whereas for the transistors with Si 3 N 4 dielectric an increase of the mo…

Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of different ZnO nanostructures were studied using a combined nonequilibrium Green’s function and density functional theory techniques with the two-probe model. It was found that I-V characteristics of ZnO nanostructures depend strongly on their geometry. For wurtzite ZnO nanowire…

A p-MgZnO/i-ZnO/n-MgZnO light-emitting diode was fabricated on a GaAs substrate by metal–organic chemical vapour deposition. The I – V curve of the device exhibited typical rectifying behaviour of the p–i–n diode and the forward turn-on voltage was about 7 V. An obvious ultraviolet peak can be observed in the electrol…

We report the observation of strain-induced antiferromagnetic domain structure on cleaved surface of NiO single crystal. This nonequilibrium domain structure undergoes various spin reorientations (from in plane to different in plane, out of plane to in plane) after mild annealing, indicating a direct correlation betwe…

A liquid crystal device is demonstrated using a short-pitch (260 nm) chiral nematic with negative dielectric anisotropy. Due to dielectric coupling, an in-plane electric field switches the liquid crystal between the standing-helix (field-off, “dark” state) and lying-helix (field-on, transmissive state) configurations.…

Oxygen dissolved in water is a cause of corrosion in heating installations. On the other hand, in the production of beverages such as beer, it leads to the oxidation of organic matter, decreasing the quality of the product. Therefore, its content must be substantially reduced. In this work, the catalytic deoxygenation…
