Epitaxial growths of CdSe nanowires with controllable orientations by metal organic chemical vapor deposition are obtained. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that they preferred to align along different orientations when grown on different GaAs surfaces. The geometrical relationship between their orientations and t…

There are several classes of coherent phonons whose generation mechanisms are completely different: impulsive stimulated Raman scattering, Brillouin oscillations, and coherent longitudinal-acoustic-phonon Bragg reflection. All of these are investigated in $\mathrm{Si}∕\mathrm{Si}\mathrm{Ge}$ superlattices using a pico…

We calculate the electronic spectrum of bilayer graphene in perpendicular magnetic fields nonperturbatively. To accommodate arbitrary displacements between the two layers, we apply a periodic gauge based on singular flux vortices of phase $2\ensuremath{\pi}$. The resulting Hofstadter-like butterfly plots show a reduce…

Ba Ti O 3 single layer and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3∕BaTiO3 multilayer films were fabricated by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. The voltage tunability of these films was investigated systematically in the frequency ranging from 10kHzto1MHz. The results suggest that the sizable tunability arises from the interfacial polarization wh…

The authors demonstrate that ozone exposure of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) results in up to threefold increase in CNT conductivity and 50% decrease in carrier transport activation energy. Ozone exposure induces bond breaking in the individual shells and promotes cross-shell bridging via sp3 bond for…

The permeability spectra of NiZn spinel ferrites with different amounts of SiO2 (0,0.3,0.5wt%) aggregated at the grain boundaries have been resolved into two contribution components: domain wall resonance and spin rotation relaxation. The fitting results of permeability dispersion show that the spin rotation relaxatio…

The electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the epoxy resin composites containing Ni, Ag, and Ni–Ag core-shell nanoparticles were studied. Interestingly, Ni–Ag core-shell nanoparticles showed a dual-frequency absorption property in 2–18 and 18–40GHz, although Ni nanoparticles exhibited absorption only in 18–40GH…

The structural, optical, and electrical transformations induced by hydrogen absorption and/or desorption in Mg-Ti thin films prepared by co-sputtering of Mg and Ti are investigated. Highly reflective in the metallic state, the films become highly absorbing upon H absorption. The reflector-to-absorber transition is fas…

Dielectric spectra of Sr(Fe1∕2Nb1∕2)O3 ceramics were characterized in wide temperature (123–623K) and frequency (100Hz–1MHz) ranges. Two dielectric relaxations with strong frequency dispersion and following the Arrhenius law were detected in low and high temperature ranges, respectively, and between them there was a g…

We use ab initio density functional calculations to study the effect of electron and hole doping on the equilibrium geometry and electronic structure of C, Si, and S monatomic wires. Independent of doping, all these nanowires are found to be metallic. In absence of doping, C wires are straight, whereas Si and S wires…

We report the rectification of a constant wave radio frequency (RF) current by using a single-layer magnetic nanowire; a direct-current voltage is resonantly generated when the RF current flows through the nanowire. The mechanism of the rectification is discussed in terms of the spin torque diode effect reported for m…
