A new transmission-type electron multiplier was fabricated from silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material by integrating an array of one-dimensional (1D) silicon nanopillars onto a two-dimensional (2D) silicon membrane. Primary electrons are injected into the nanopillar-membrane (NPM) system from the flat surface of the mem…

Silver films were deposited on glass substrates under different deposition conditions, i.e. different film thicknesses, deposition rates and deposition angles. Their optical properties were measured by spectrophotometry in the spectral range of 185–3300 nm. The Kramers–Kronig method was used to analyze the reflectivit…

Nanosized Al 2 O 3 particles homogeneously dispersed in a matrix of amorphous carbon (a‐C) were prepared by decomposition of an aluminum oleic emulsion at 600°C in Ar. Nanosized aluminum nitride (AlN) grains were prepared by carbothermal reduction and nitridation (CRN) of this Al 2 O 3 –a‐C mixture in NH 3 using graph…

Abstract A novel series of hyperbranched polyether polyols with various n ‐alkyl amine cores (mono‐ and bifunctional) and photoactive cores (benzylamine and 1‐naphthylmethylamine) have been prepared. Polymerization of glycidol was carried out in two ways, starting directly from primary amine initiators and from bisgly…

We prepared transparent polyimide (PI) and organo-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposite films from the solution of poly(amic acid) and various amounts (0.5-2 wt%) of OMMT in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The Poly(amic acid) was prepared from the reaction of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (…

We report the improved ferroelectric properties in dielectric/multiferroic/dielectric sandwich structures composed of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) and Bi1.05La0.05FeO3 (BLF). Compared with the single BLF film, the trilayer structures exhibit a lower dielectric loss and weaker frequency dependence of dielectric properties. At…

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is an important genetic material whose lifetime is most often determined by the rate of its enzymatic degradation. Our studies showed that multi-walled carbon nanotubes and single-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with carboxylic groups interacted with ribonuclease A (RNase A) and caused th…

The thermoluminescence (TL) of undoped and Dy3+ doped ZrO2 nanocrystals under beta-ray irradiation is reported. The TL glow curves are the result of the overlapping of four TL peaks produced partly by the intrinsic defect of highly asymmetrical monoclinic structure and partly due to defects produced during the synthes…

Inhomogeneous magnetoelectric coupling in a simple Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/Terfenol-D laminate composite is investigated. Four magnetic-field-induced voltage (MIV) and three electric-field-induced magnetization (EIM) resonance frequencies are caused by magnetomechanical and electromechanical resonances. The different positions in…

Antagonistic shape memory actuated structures exploit opposing pairs of one-way shape memory alloy (SMA) linear actuators to create devices capable of a fully reversible response. Unlike many conventional reversible SMA devices they do not require bias force components (springs) to return them to their pre-actuated co…

First-principles calculations indicate that the chalcogenide spinels CdxCu1−xCr2S4 and CdxCu1−xCr2Se4 can be ferromagnetic metals, half-metals, or semiconductors depending on the Cd concentration x. In particular, CdxCu1−xCr2S4 can be tuned to be effectively half-metallic for x values between 0.25 and 0.875 and CdxCu1…
