ZnO and ZnO:Zn powder phosphors were prepared by the polyol-method followed by annealing in air and reducing gas, respectively. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and p…
Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) has been utilized to investigate the local atomic structure around Th, U, and Pu atoms in polycrystalline mixed dioxides Th(1-x)M(x)O2 (with M = U, Pu) for x ranging from 0 to 1. The composition dependence of the two first-coordination-shell distances was measured throu…
High‐speed photography has been used to observe the dynamic failure of uncoated and Cr‐coated transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride (AlON) material, undergoing uniaxial, high‐strain rate compression with a modified compression Kolsky bar technique. The high‐speed photographs are correlated in time with measu…
The dilacunary decatungstogermanate [gamma-GeW10O36]8- (1) has been synthesized and structurally characterized in solution and in the solid state. Reaction of germanium dioxide with sodium tungstate in aqueous acidic medium results in the formation of [beta2-GeW11O39]8- (2), which is then used as a precursor for the s…
One-dimensional gold/polyaniline (Au/PANI-CSA) coaxial nanocables with an average diameter of 50-60 nm and lengths of more than 1 mum were successfully synthesized by reacting aniline monomer with chlorauric acid (HAuCl(4)) through a self-assembly process in the presence of D-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (CSA), which acts…
The reactivity of the isomeric oxo-Mn(V)-2-tetra-N-methylpyridyl (2-TMPyP) and oxo-Mn(V)-4-tetra-N-methylpyridyl (4-TMPyP) porphyrins has been investigated by a combined experimental and theoretical approach based on density functional theory. The unusual higher reactivity of the more electron-rich 4-TMPyP species app…
This article reports on the investigation of reactive magnetron sputtering of transparent, crystalline titanium dioxide films. The aim of this investigation is to determine a minimum substrate surface temperature Tsurf necessary to form crystalline TiO2 films with anatase structure. Films were prepared by dc pulsed re…
The Au(111) surface was populated with atomic oxygen [16O] followed by oxygen-labeled water [H218O] at surface temperatures as low as 77 K. When a CO beam was impinged on this surface, both [C16O16O] and [C16O18O] were produced. The results strongly suggest the direct involvement and promoting role of water in CO oxid…
3D porous flowerlike dendritic- and polypod-like, as well as multi-branched (tripod and tetrapod), platinum nanostructures were fabricated via thermolytic reduction of trans-Pt(NH3)2Cl2 in different high-boiling-point solvents (oleylamine, hexadecylamine, or oleyl alcohol).
Master sintering curves were constructed for dry‐pressed compacts composed of either a nanocrystalline or a microcrystalline ZnO powder using constant heating rate dilatometry data and an experimentally determined apparent activation energy for densification of 268±25 and 296±21 kJ/mol, respectively. The calculated ac…
We report on p-type conduction in N-doped ZnO (ZnO:N) films that were prepared by oxidative annealing of sputtered Zn3N2 films at temperatures between 500 and 800°C in flowing O2 gas. Room-temperature Hall-effect measurements show a significant improvement of p-type doping characteristics by the oxidative annealing at…
Adatom incorporation into the ``faceted'' steps bordering the 2D nanoislands is analyzed. The step permeability and incorporation coefficients are derived for some typical growth situations. It is shown that the step consisting of equivalent straight segments can be permeable even in the case of fast egde migration if…
The characteristics of a hybrid p-n junction consisting of the hole-conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)-poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) and n-ZnO nanorods grown on an n-GaN layer on sapphire are reported. Spin coating of polystyrene was used to electrically isolate neighboring nanorods and a top l…
The work discusses specifics of phase transitions for metastable states of substances. The objects of condensed media physics are primarily equilibrium states of substances with metastable phases viewed as an exception, while the overwhelming majority of organic substances investigated in chemistry are metastable. It…
We describe a new experimental technique to investigate coupling effects between different layers or modes in ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Dual FMR frequencies are excited (2-8 GHz) simultaneously and detected selectively in a broadband RF circuit, using lock-in amplifier detection at separate modulation frequencies.
We present a detailed study of the dielectric and charge transport properties of the antiferromagnetic cubic spinel HgCr2S4. Similar to the findings in ferromagnetic CdCr2S4, the dielectric constant of HgCr2S4 becomes strongly enhanced in the region below 60-80 K, which can be ascribed to polar relaxational dynamics t…
In conventional micromagnetism magnetic domain configurations are calculated based on a continuum theory for the magnetization which is assumed to be of constant length in time and space. Dynamics is usually described with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation the stochastic variant of which includes finite tempe…
We have carried out a computational study of the inelastic electron tunneling spectrum (IETS) of the two vibrational modes of a single hydrogen atom on a Cu(100) surface in a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) junction. This study addresses key issues about vibrational assignment and line shape of observed peaks in I…
We consider two sequential models of deposition and aggregation for particles. The first model (No Diffusion) simulates surface diffusion through a deterministic capture area, while the second (Sequential Diffusion) allows the atoms to diffuse up to \ell steps. Therefore the second model incorporates more fluctuations…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical safety of intravenous gadolinium-based contrast media used in patients who underwent MRI at a single institution. Acute adverse reactions to intravenous gadolinium-based contrast media used for MRI at the Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong, SAR, from January…
