The surface relaxations and oxygen adsorptions on C- and Si-terminated 3C-SiC(111) and 2H/4H/6H-SiC(0001) surfaces are systematically studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. First, the general surface relaxation trends of different SiC surfaces are explained using the electrostatic interaction and…

Abstract We succeeded in fabricating InGaN‐based laser diodes (LDs) with a wavelength of 518 and 488 nm under continuous wave (cw) operation. The both LDs structures were grown on conventional c‐plane GaN substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The threshold current and threshold voltage were 45…

The interface between a fluid and a static wall is a useful model for a chemically heterogeneous solid-liquid interface. In this work, we outline the calculation of the wall-fluid interfacial free energy (gamma(wf)) for such systems using molecular simulation combined with adsorption equations based on Cahn's extensio…

Abstract Thermosensitive guar‐based hydrogels are obtained in water solutions by copper‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition between alkyne‐functionalized guars and α,ω‐diazido‐poly[(ethylene glycol)‐co‐(propylene glycol)]. Characterization by TGA, HR‐MAS 1H NMR, and rheology have shown that hydrogels with tunable phys…

Abstract The photopolymerization ability of photosensitized alkoxyamines has been investigated. These compounds behave as interesting two‐component photoinitiators. Laser flash photolysis, electron spin resonance, and density functional theory allow to support the interactions encountered between the photosensitizer (…

This study investigated the decomposition of aqueous phenol by direct current (DC) water plasma. The operation of DC water plasma was carried out in the absence of inert gases or air injected and cooling-controlled and pressure-controlled devices. The results indicated that 1 mol.% (52.8 g L(-1)) phenol was drasticall…

The visible emission of BaMgAl(10)O(17):Eu(2+) used for White LED and ACPDPs was enhanced by coupling electric transition with the localized surface plasmon oscillation of nanoscaled Ag particles. Phosphor films including Ag particles were prepared by the spin-coating method. Up to a 36% enhancement of the peak intens…

We study the physical properties of a half-metallic $\text{ferromagnet}\ensuremath{\mid}\text{superconductor}$ $(\text{HM}\ensuremath{\mid}\text{S})$ bilayer, allowing for an arbitrary bulk pairing symmetry of the superconductor and spin-dependent processes at the interface. In particular, we study how the possibility…

Aluminum was added to a solution-processed conductive indium tin oxide thin film to be optimized as a channel layer for a thin film transistor (TFT). The conductive crystalline thin film becomes an amorphous semiconductor as the band gap enlarges with increasing Al content. Also, systematic variation in TFT characteri…
