ZnO powder was mechanically milled in a ball mill. This procedure was found to greatly increase its evaporation ability. The anomalous evaporation behaviour was caused by the disordered structure of the milled material and was not related to the increase in its surface area after milling. ZnO nanowires were synthesize…

The graphene interlayer spacing in pure graphite is known to have a minimum value of ${d}_{\mathit{min}}=0.3354\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, while defective graphites typically have larger interlayer spacings. Using x-ray diffraction, we find that the graphene interlayer spacing in multi-walled carbon nanof…

A quantum-mechanical potential barrier model for estimating the number ratio between different valence cations in multiatom compounds is proposed. It is supposed that there is a potential barrier between a cation-anion pair. The height of the potential barrier is proportional to the ionization energy of the cation, an…

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from high-quality crystal of cyano substituted oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) with very high photoluminescent efficiency is observed. The full widths at half maximum of the narrowed spectra can reach 10nm when the pumping energy is 50μJ/pulse. The threshold for ASE is about 7.9μJ/puls…
