We demonstrated the synthesis of LaPO 4:Er:Yb-doped nanoparticles/nanorods and LaPO 4:Er@Yb core−shell nanoparticles/nanorods by a solution-based technique. The mechanism related to morphology control of LaPO 4:Er:Yb nanorods/nanoparticles is proposed and discussed. Bright-green (550 nm) and red (670 nm) emission were…

Metamaterials are beginning to transform optics and microwave technology thanks to their versatile properties that, in many cases, can be tailored according to practical needs and desires. Although metamaterials are surely not the answer to all engineering problems, they have inspired a series of significant technolog…

Multi-valley spin relaxation in $n$-type GaAs quantum wells with in-plane electric field is investigated at high temperature by means of kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. The spin relaxation time first increases and then decreases with electric field, especially when the temperature is relatively low. We show that…

Controlling novel morphologies and developing effective doping strategies are two important tasks for advancing ZnO-based nanomaterials. We have grown vertically aligned Cu-doped ZnO nanonails and nanoneedles and observed a continuous evolution between various morphologies. Selecting source compositions and regulating…

Two methods of reduction of V 2 O 5 have been investigated: oxygen vacancy formation and lithium intercalation. The electronic structure, geometry, and energetics of these reduced systems are examined. Oxygen vacancies in bulk α-V 2 O 5 have been investigated by using gradient-corrected density functional theory (GGA)…

An excellent barrier effect against Cu ion drift is demonstrated using self-assembled monolayer (SAM) barrier dielectrics in which phosphorous (P) atom is contained. Three kinds of SAMs, such as P-, carbon (C-), and nitrogen (N-) containing SAMs with the identical molecular structure, were wet-chemically formed on a t…

We consider the hydrodynamic effect of small particles on the dynamics of a much larger particle moving normal to a planar wall in a highly bidisperse dilute colloidal suspension of spheres. The gap h(0) between the large particle and the wall is assumed to be comparable to the diameter 2a of the smaller particles so…
