Complex core-shell architectures are implemented within LaF3 nanoparticles to allow for a tailored degree of energy transfer (ET) between different rare earth dopants. By constraining specific dopants to individual shells, their relative distance to one another can be carefully controlled. Core-shell LaF3 nanoparticle…

Low-frequency (100Hz⩽f⩽1MHz) dielectric properties of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3∕Nb-doped SrTiO3 heterojunctions were investigated in detail at room temperature. Negative capacitance was observed at low frequencies under positive dc biases. This phenomenon was found to result from the combinational contributions from the Maxwell–…

We study the aging behavior of aqueous laponite suspension, a model soft glassy material, in creep. We observe that the viscoelastic behavior is time dependent and is strongly influenced by the deformation field; the effect is known to arise due to aging and rejuvenation. We show that irrespective of the strength of t…

We report on the effect of nanodot (ND) areal density and period on cross-plane thermal conductivity κ⊥ in SiGe∕Si nanodot superlattices (NDSLs). For all ND areal densities considered, we found that κ⊥ in SiGe∕Si NDSLs decreased monotonically with decreasing period and reached values lower than those in typical SiGe a…

Abstract Hierarchical silica nanotubes with radially oriented mesoporous channels perpendicular to the central axis of the tube were synthesized by using self‐assembled chiral anionic surfactant, co‐structure directing agent (CSDA) and silica precursor. The average inner diameter and the wall thickness were ∼94, ∼62,…

A multidomain vertical alignment liquid crystal display (MVA LCD) with reduced color shift is proposed. Each pixel is divided into a main region and a subregion. A thin electric shielding layer is embedded in the subregion to generate a higher threshold voltage than that of the main region. As a result, the final gamm…

A precise control over the internal architecture was essential for manufacture of complex organs. To create vascular systems that mimic human livers, we designed and fabricated complex 3D objects with an intrinsic network of interconnected channels. A new elastomeric polyurethane, mainly based on polycaprolactone and…

The magnetoelectric (ME) coupling of a bilayered Ni–lead zirconate titanate composite structure synthesized by electrodeposition was studied in this paper. The ME voltage coefficient was measured in the range of 1–120kHz as the bias field is parallel to the axial. The results indicate that an electromechanical resonan…

Abstract Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to apply conformal, nanothick ZnO coatings on particle substrates using a fluidized bed reactor. Diethylzinc (DEZ) and water were used as precursors at 177 °C. Observed growth rates were ca. 2.0 Å/cycle on primary particles as verified by HRTEM. ICP‐AES and XPS were used…

Highly transparent 8 mol% Y 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 (8Y) ceramics were fabricated by the hot isostatic pressing method. The transmission in a visible light region was comparable to that of a single crystal. In this work, the microstructural relationship between presintered and hot isostatic‐pressed material was examined. The tra…

Resonant photoemission at the Ti 2p and O 1s edges on a Nb-doped SrTiO(3) thin film revealed that the coherent state (CS) at the Fermi level (E(F)) had a mainly Ti 3d character whereas the incoherent in-gap state (IGS) positioned approximately 1.5 eV below E(F) had a mixed character of Ti 3d and O 2p states. This indi…
