The oxidation of aliphatic primary amines, n-propylamine (PA) and -butylamine (BA), by chloramine-B (CAB) and chloramine-T (CAT) in aqueous alkaline medium has been kinetically studied at 318 K. The reaction follows the experimental rate law: rate k′ [oxidant] [amine] 0 [OH − ] x , where oxidant is CAT or CAB and x is…

We present a study of palladium-hydrogen system by the linearized augmented plane-wave (LAPW) and Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) tight-binding (TB) methods. We constructed a TB Hamiltonian by fitting to first-principles LAPW data for the electronic energies of a large range of palladium and palladium hydride structur…

Typical silicon nanocrystal light emitting devices (LEDs) operate under direct current (DC) biasing conditions that require high electric fields or high current densities. The electroluminescence (EL) under these conditions relies on impact excitation that can be damaging to the material. In this work, we present bipo…

Abstract In this paper, we report on PbMoO4 crystals grown from melts of controlled stoichiometric variations under different ambient conditions. It is observed that PbMoO4 crystals of different shades not only differ in their impurity contents but their stoichiometries with regard to both cationic and anionic composi…

Abstract In this study, the effects of postannealing on ZnO and Al2O3 films grown for a thin‐film transistor (TFT) by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy‐dispersion spectroscopy. Samples were subjected to rapid thermal annealing for 30 s at 610…

The high-frequency transconductance and current noise of top-gated single carbon nanotube transistors have been measured and used to investigate hot electron effects in one-dimensional transistors. Results are in good agreement with a theory of one-dimensional nanotransistor. In particular the prediction of a large tr…

Abstract Explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations of meso‐tetra[4‐sulfonatophenyl] porphyrin (TPPS4−) in water were performed. The relation solute–solvent was examined through the radial distribution function g(r) of water molecules around different groups of the solute. The outcomes of the simulations show tha…

Abstract The effect of oxygen vacancies on ferromagnetism (FM) in Zn1−xMnxO thin films grown by radio frequency (RF) sputtering has been investigated. The grown films at different oxygen pressures have been characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Hall effect, photoluminescence (PL) and vibrating sample magnetometry…

Poly(1-methylpyrrol-2-yl)squaraine (PMPS) particles have been characterised using SEM. The PMPS particles were used as templates to prepare bare silica and iron–silica hollow spheres, which were characterised using TEM and SEM. The PMPS particles and the hollow spheres are not uniformly sized and are agglomerated. The…

We propose a structureless method for focusing surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a flat metal film under illumination of radially polarized cogwheel-like structured light beams. Without metal structures, the locally induced SPPs can further be propagated following the predefined patterns to form symmetric focal spo…

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements have been performed on high-quality InAlN layers lattice-matched (LM) to GaN with different thicknesses. It is found that the PL is consisted of two components denoted as IH (high-energy side) and IL (low-energy side), respectively. IH is attributed to exciton…

Fractality of the arc trail in magnetized plasma is investigated on the basis of an experimental observation and numerical simulation. When the trail of a unipolar arc on a tungsten electrode is analyzed in detail, the global fractal dimension is observed to reach unity, while the local dimension is considerably high,…

We used molecular dynamics with embedded-atom method to model the growth of a Pd thin film deposited on Au(100) for a system with approximately $100\text{ }000$ atoms. We showed that the Pd film grew under stress on the Au substrate with face-centered-cubic structure. After the deposition of 9 monolayers, the stress s…
