We present a design for a switchable nanomagnetic atom mirror formed by an array of 180° domain walls confined within Ni80Fe20 planar nanowires. A simple analytical model is developed which allows the magnetic field produced by the domain wall array to be calculated. This model is then used to optimize the geometry of…
OBJECTIVE: To develop a HPLC method for the determination of arbutin, bergenin and catechin in Chinese herb Bergenia, and to provide a scientific basis for evaluating the quality and reasonable utilization of the herb. METHOD: The HPLC analysis was achieved by using a C18 column and methanol-water as the mobile phase,…
Transient or hysteresis effects in polycrystalline thin film CdS/CdTe cells are a function of pre-measurement voltage bias and whether Cu is introduced as an intentional dopant during back contact fabrication. When Cu is added, the current-density (J) vs. voltage (V) measurements performed in a reverse-to-forward volt…
The demagnetization processes of antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled soft/hard bilayer structures have been studied using a one-dimensional atomic chain model, taking into account the anisotropies of both soft and hard layers. It is found that for bilayer structures with strong interfacial exchange coupling, the de…
Piezoelectric nanostructures (islands of dimensions in the lateral size range 50–500 nm) have been fabricated by focused Ga3+ ion beam (FIB) etching on PbZr0.54Ti0.46O3 thin films obtained by magnetron sputtering. The degradation induced by the etching process is investigated through the evolution of electromechanical…
This paper reports the growth by molecular beam epitaxy of AlN and GaN thin films on R-plane sapphire substrates. Contrary to previous findings that GaN grows with its (112¯0) A-plane parallel to the (11¯02) R-plane of sapphire, our results indicate that the crystallographic orientation of the III-nitride films is str…
This paper reports the room temperature cross-plane thermal conductivity of pure silica zeolite (PSZ) MEL and MFI thin films. PSZ MEL thin films were prepared by spin coating a suspension of MEL nanoparticles in 1-butanol solution onto silicon substrates followed by calcination and vapor-phase silylation with trimethy…
Magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) paddy-field like superlattices of Mn3O4 cubic nanoparticles have been investigated by magnetization measurements. The 2D ordered structure extends over several microns in size. Each nanocube is of single-crystal about 6 nm in size. The magnetic properties are investigated wi…
The single crystals of tungsten bronze-type potassium lithium tantalate niobate doped with three concentrations erbium with good quality are grown using top-seed solution growth method. The unpolarized ultraviolet-visible-near infrared optical absorption spectra of these single crystals are measured at room temperatur…
The excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer-induced charge transfer of semirigid polyquinoline (PQH) is explored in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (MP) using picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Reaction mechanisms are found to depend on the rotational conformations of…
Local ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of triglycine sulfate (TGS) nanocrystals embedded into poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO) electrospun fibers were examined by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Piezoresponse contrast was found to be strongly dependent on the position being much stronger at the fiber periphe…
Electron bunches for high performance free electron lasers are subject to constraints on charge per bunch and pulse shape. A Diamond secondary emitter used in conjunction with a photocathode and drive laser has potential to enable a high brightness, high peak current photoinjector by increasing the effective quantum e…
A plasma mirror based on a laminar water film with low flow speed (0.5–2 cm/s) has been developed and characterized, for use as an ultrahigh intensity optical reflector. The use of flowing water as a target surface automatically results in each laser pulse seeing a new interaction surface and avoids the need for mecha…
The past decade has witnessed the development and success of coarse-grained network models of proteins for predicting many equilibrium properties related to collective modes of motion. Curiously, the results are usually robust toward the different cutoff distances used for constructing the residue networks from the kn…
We report the effects of annealing on the performance of hybrid photovoltaic (PV) cells containing poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) coated onto TiO2/Sn doped In2O3 (ITO) and ITO substrates. In the optimized device, which exhibits a higher efficiency, the backbone axes of the P3HT chains were found to lie within the subst…
A fine-focusing x-ray source has been constructed employing a field electron emitter prepared by growing carbon-nanofibers (CNFs) on a metal tip. The x-ray source is composed of a CNF field electron emitter, an electrostatic lens, two magnetic lenses, and a W-target for generating x-rays by electron impact. The CNFs p…
Multiphoton-absorption (MPA) induced ultraviolet (UV) luminescence of ZnO nanorods grown by vapor phase transport was demonstrated using ultrafast excitation at pulse energies in the few nanojoules range, directly generated by a Ti:sapphire laser oscillator at wavelengths around 800 nm. The dependence of the UV lumine…
Nanopyramid light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been synthesized by selective area organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. Self-organized porous anodic alumina is used to pattern the dielectric growth templates via reactive ion etching, eliminating the need for lithographic processes. (In,Ga)N quantum well growth occurs pri…
We have studied the boron (B) diffusion in MgO/CoFeB bilayer by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth analysis. A large concentration of B (B/Mg=0.16) was found to diffuse into the MgO barrier after 350 °C annealing. The boron in MgO is in a highly oxidized B3+ state and is homogenously distributed in the whole barri…
Protein molecules exhibit varying degrees of flexibility throughout their three-dimensional structures. Protein structural flexibility is often characterized by fluctuations in the Cartesian coordinate space. On the other hand, the protein backbone can be mostly defined by two torsion angles ϕ and ψ only. We introduce…
