The decomposition rate of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O) was measured as weight loss at ambient pressure and elevated temperatures up to 270 °C. Such incomplete thermal decomposition produces a porous and reactive basic aluminum chloride [Al 2 O 3 ·2HCl·2H 2 O or Al 2 (OH) 4 Cl 2 ·H 2 O] which dissolve…
Nonstoichiometric perovskite-related oxides (such as ferrites and cobaltites, etc.) are characterized by fast oxygen transport at ambient temperatures, which relates to the microstructural texturing of these materials, consisting wholly of nanoscale microdomains. We have developed an inhomogeneous diffusion model to d…
Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) thin films were deposited on silicon (100) and sapphire (001) substrates using the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) technique with an alternating supply of reactant source, [(CH3)2GaNH2]3, and oxygen plasma. The thin films were annealed at different temperatures (500, 700, and 900°…
We investigated a mechanism of rectification in di-block oligomer diode molecules that have recently been synthesized and showed a pronounced asymmetry in the measured I-V spectrum. The observed rectification effect is due to the resonant nature of electron transfer in the system and localization properties of bound s…
The frequency, temperature, and dc-bias dependence of the ac susceptibility of a high-quality single crystal of the ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1.5}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ layered manganite is investigated. ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1.5}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ behaves like an $XY$ spin glass…
We have calculated the vibrational dynamics and thermodynamics for Cu adatom hopping on terraces and near step edges on Cu(100) and Cu(110), using the embedded atom method for the interatomic potential. The local vibrational densities of states were calculated using real space Green's function formalism and the thermo…
We present result of calculations of the surface phonon dispersion curves for Pt(110) using density functional theory in the local density approximation and norm conserving pseudopotentials in a mixed-basis approach. Linear response theory is invoked and both the unreconstructed, and the missing row (1x2) reconstructe…
We analyze the electronic structure of group III-V semiconductors obtained within full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method and arrive at a realistic and minimal tight-binding model, parametrized to provide an accurate description of both valence and conduction bands. It is shown that the cation…
Magnetization measurements of Mn12 molecular nanomagnets with spin ground states of S=10 and S=19/2 show resonance tunneling at avoided energy level crossings. The observed oscillations of the tunnel probability as a function of the magnetic field applied along the hard anisotropy axis are due to topological quantum p…
We report the results of first-principles calculations showing that boron can form a wide variety of metastable planar and tubular forms with unusual electronic and mechanical properties. The preferred planar structure is a buckled triangular lattice that breaks the threefold ground state degeneracy of the flat triang…
Difference of degeneracy of the low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states causes interesting entropy effects on spin-crossover phase transitions and charge transfer phase transitions in materials composed of the spin-crossover atoms. Mechanisms of the spin-crossover (SC) phase transitions have been studied by using Wajn…
Frequency shifts, radiative decay rates, the Ohmic loss contribution to the nonradiative decay rates, fluorescence yields, and photobleaching of a two-level atom radiating anywhere inside or outside a complex spherical nanoshell, i.e. a stratified sphere consisting of alternating silica and gold concentric spherical s…
We present a theory of tunneling and resonant transitions in one-dimensional molecular systems which is based on Green's function theory of electron sub-barrier scattering off the structural units (or functional groups) of a molecular chain. We show that the many-electron effects are of paramount importance in electro…
We have studied the effective response of composites of spherical particles with a dielectric profile which varies along the radius of the particles. We developed a differential effective dipole theory to compute the dipole moment of individual spherical particle and hence the effective dielectric response of a dilute…
By employing a novel low-temperature synthetic pathway, highly ordered cubic mesoporous materials with hitherto the largest pores (up to 27 nm) and unit cells (up to 44 nm) have been successfully obtained.
Iron(III)-doped TiO(2) nanopowders, with controlled iron to titanium atomic ratios (R(Fe/Ti)) ranging from nominal 0 to 20%, were synthesized using oxidative pyrolysis of liquid-feed metallorganic precursors in a radiation-frequency (RF) thermal plasma. The valence of iron doped in the TiO(2), phase formation, defect…
Watch your step! Decoupling the individual contributions of edge-plane steps (A) and basal-plane terraces (B) to the voltammetry of graphite electrodes can provide information of fundamental importance. This was done by selectively blocking the basal-plane terraces with insulating material to form nanotrench arrays of…
Hydrogen-bonded disk-shaped aggregates (rosettes) composed of azobenzene-appended melamine and barbiturate or cyanurate are investigated in view of their hierarchical organization and photoresponsive behavior by (1)H NMR and UV/vis spectroscopies, dynamic light scattering, and gelation behavior in aliphatic solvents a…
Vorsicht Stufe! Durch das Entkoppeln der Einzelbeiträge von Kantenebenen-Stufen (A) und Basisebenen-Terrassen (B) zur Voltammetrie von Graphitelektroden lassen sich wichtige Informationen gewinnen. Dies gelang durch selektives Blockieren der Basisebenen-Terrassen mit Isolatormaterial, das zu Nanograben-Anordnungen von…
In order to answer the question of whether there is another source of magnetism that plays an important role in tuning ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic oxide thin films, investigations on magnetic and structural properties of some types of transition-metal-doped semiconductors had been done. Results on Cr-doped ZnO…
