We demonstrate that the thermal conductance K of individual multiwall carbon nanotubes can be controllably and reversibly adjusted by sliding the outer shells of the tube with respect to the inner core in a telescopinglike manner. K shows an exponential dependence on the telescoping distance. Tunable nanoscale thermal…
This study investigates temperature and current density distribution in a planar solid oxide fuel cell unit with cross-flow configuration when fuel and air inlet flows are nonuniform. The numerical method in this study solves two-dimensional, simultaneous, partial differential equations of mass, energy, and electroche…
O K- and Zn and Au L3-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), and scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM) are performed to investigate the electronic structure of ZnO nanorods with nanocrystalline (nc)-Au particles grown on the surfaces. The XANES spectra of nc-Au∕ZnO nan…
A method for soldering carbon nanotubes lying on microfabricated metal pads is presented. By employing the fountain-pen principle, the authors deposited a gold nanoparticle suspension (nanoink) film on the area where the carbon nanotube contacts the metal pad. The nanoink was deposited by using a capillary tube that w…
The authors report a facile method for the fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface with spiral Co3O4 nanorod arrays on a glass wafer plated Au. The resulting surface shows superhydrophobicity with a static contact angle of about (162±1.6)° and a sliding angle of around (5±2)°. This functionalized, nanostructured sur…
A computer-generated hologram (CGH) designed using the iterative Fourier transform algorithm was recorded in a cell filled with a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal material under a collimated He–Ne laser beam operating at 543nm. Due to the photopolymerization induced phase separation, an index modulation was formed bet…
We report measurements of the nonlinear micromechanics of strongly flocculated model colloidal aggregates. Linear aggregates directly assembled using laser tweezers are subjected to bending loads until a critical bending moment is reached, which is identified by a stictionlike rearrangement of a single colloidal bond.…
This letter presents the in-plane poling in electro-optic (EO) polymer modulators with conductivity dependency of core and claddings eliminated. A Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator with a highly conductive EO polymer, AJLS102/APC, is realized and poled by the in-plane coplanar waveguide poling electrode. Vπ of 7.7V in a sin…
In situ Raman spectra of transformations of H2O as functions of pressure and temperature have been measured starting from high-density amorphous ice (HDA). Changes above Tx, the crystallization temperature of HDA, were observed. The spectra provide evidence for an abrupt, first-order-like, structural change that appea…
By using highly conductive p-type La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) and n-type La0.07Sr0.93SnO3 (LSSO) as electrodes, all-oxide Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) capacitors, LSMO/PZT/LSMO, LSSO/PZT/LSSO, LSSO/PZT/LSMO, and LSMO/PZT/LSSO, have been grown epitaxially on (001)SrTiO3 substrates, and their structure, switching, fatigue, and op…
Fe-doped AlN (AlN:Fe) nanorods on silicon substrates were fabricated using a catalysis-free vapor phase method. The AlN:Fe nanorods exhibited high crystalline quality and preferred c-axis orientation. The spontaneous saturated magnetization of the AlN:Fe nanorods was determined to be ∼0.64μB∕Fe at room temperature. Ro…
Ballistic thermal conductance in a three-dimensional quantum wire with a stub structure is presented under both stress-free and hard wall boundary conditions at low temperatures. A comparative analysis for two-dimensional and three-dimensional models is made. The results show that when stress-free boundary conditions…
This letter reports a technique for increasing the carrier concentration and the conductivity of the p-type CuAlO2 through doping the material with nitrogen. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the optical band gap analyses suggested that the nitrogen atoms occupying the interstitial sites of the delafossite stru…
Selective adhesion of plasma proteins to immobilized heparin is considered to be beneficial regarding hemocompatibility of foreign materials in contact with blood. Prothrombin, thrombin, antithrombin III (AT3), and fibrinogen were selected for analysis in an experimental model. Biomolecular interaction analysis employ…
Epitaxial growths of CdSe nanowires with controllable orientations by metal organic chemical vapor deposition are obtained. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that they preferred to align along different orientations when grown on different GaAs surfaces. The geometrical relationship between their orientations and t…
Ni nanohole arrays are prepared by a replication process involving sputtering, polymer molding pressing, and electroplating techniques, using anodic alumina membranes as templates. Nanohole diameter to interhole distance ratio is engineered by suitable template processing. From the analysis of the magnetization curves…
The authors have compared the sensitivities of resonant optical biochemical sensors, based on both periodic and aperiodic porous silicon structures, such as the Bragg and the Thue-Morse multilayer. The shifts of the reflectivity spectra of these devices on exposure to several chemical compounds have been measured: the…
There are several classes of coherent phonons whose generation mechanisms are completely different: impulsive stimulated Raman scattering, Brillouin oscillations, and coherent longitudinal-acoustic-phonon Bragg reflection. All of these are investigated in $\mathrm{Si}∕\mathrm{Si}\mathrm{Ge}$ superlattices using a pico…
We calculate the electronic spectrum of bilayer graphene in perpendicular magnetic fields nonperturbatively. To accommodate arbitrary displacements between the two layers, we apply a periodic gauge based on singular flux vortices of phase $2\ensuremath{\pi}$. The resulting Hofstadter-like butterfly plots show a reduce…
Ba Ti O 3 single layer and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3∕BaTiO3 multilayer films were fabricated by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. The voltage tunability of these films was investigated systematically in the frequency ranging from 10kHzto1MHz. The results suggest that the sizable tunability arises from the interfacial polarization wh…
