Recently, new additions to nonconjugated conductive polymers have been made that include: poly(β-pinene), poly(ethylenepyrrolediyl) derivative and polynorbornene. These polymers have different double-bond number fractions per repeat compared to previously reported nonconjugated conductive polymers. Upon doping with el…

The effect of network density of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the detection of DNA hybridization was investigated. The results show that, in contrast to those having higher densities, SWNTs with low network densities in the conductance range of 0.74 × 10 −7 < G bare < 2.00 × 10 −7 exhibit high sensitivity…

We report on the effect of electron injection on the magneto-optical properties of MgZnO/ZnO(5 nm)/MgZnO single quantum wells (SQWs) by embedding a Ga delta-doped layer in one of the MgZnO barriers. Approaching the delta-doped layer to the SQW resulted in a photoluminescence (PL) blueshift due to the screening of inte…

We report the time and temperature dependent response of thermopower in the non-magnetic perovskite oxide NdNiO(3). We find that on cooling below the metal-insulator transition temperature the system evolves into a phase separated state which consists of supercooled metallic and insulating phases. This phase separated…

We demonstrate the ability to make high resolution arbitrary patterned optical retarders using liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Contact lithography is used to define unique LCP alignment domains. Patterned LCP retarders are imaged between crossed polarizers to determine pattern visibility as a function of feature size. I…
