Experimental studies are reported concerning the importance of interfacial capacitance (including electrode screening, space-charge layers, and/or chemically discrete dead layers) on domain switching behaviour in thin films of ferroelectric lead zirconate-titanate (PZT), strontium bismuth tantalate (SBT), and barium s…
A novel microemulsion process was introduced for the large-scale synthesis of uniform Ag4SiW12O40 nanowires with an average diameter of about 8?nm and length of up to 10??m. The ageing time of the reaction mixture played an important role in controlling the morphology of the products, and the interaction between ethan…

The growth of carbon nanofibres (CNF) by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) and the integration of CNFs into devices are studied using high throughput methodology. A growth compatibility chip containing candidate metal contact underlayers and transition metal catalyst layers are used to explore growth…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Future emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles like Euro 4, Euro 5, US '07 require advanced engine functionality. One contribution to achieve this target is the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by injection of urea water solution to the exhaust gas. An overview on a urea…
Monodisperse cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized via a high-temperature thermal decomposition method in the presence of oleic acid and triphenylphosphine. The as-synthesized NPs are stable against further deep oxidation when they are kept in heptane (C7H16). Time-dependent x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studi…
Extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds isolated from valvulated conduits can be useful in developing durable bioprostheses by tissue engineering provided that anatomical shape, architecture, and mechanical properties are preserved. As evidenced by SEM, intact scaffolds were derived from porcine aortic valves by the comb…
A novel rubbing process for generating a very fine liquid crystal (LC) alignment pattern is proposed: we term this the "microrubbing process". An alignment film (polyimide) is rubbed using a metal ball and the thicknesses of rubbed lines are controlled by the normal load. It is described that the maximum line thicknes…
Abstract A template-free hydrothermal method to Ni(OH)2 single-crystal nanorods were successfully established based on the 2-D layered structures of Ni(OH)2. The obtained Ni(OH)2 nanorods were 40–90 nm in diameters and 1–3 μm in lengths. It is interesting that Ni(OH)2 nanorods would be converted into NiO nanorings whe…
Nanocrystalline yttrium oxide doped with the lanthanide ions Sm3+, Dy3+ or Tm3+ with a particle diameter of approximately 10?nm was prepared by propellant synthesis. The Y2O3:Sm3+ nanocrystals showed a visually dominant red emission from the transition and a strong concentration dependence of both the emission spectra…
The giant magnetocaloric compound ${\mathrm{G}\mathrm{d}}_{5}{\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}}_{4}$ is the only member of the ${\mathrm{G}\mathrm{d}}_{5}({\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}}_{x}{\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{)}_{4}$ family where three-dimensional exchange interactions between two-dimensional correlated layers of th…
We have synthesized Pb(Zr 0.52 Ti 0.48 )O 3 fibres with diameters ranging from 500 nm to several microns using electrospinning and metallo-organic decomposition techniques (Wang et al 2002 Mater. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. 702 359). By a refinement of our electrospinning technique, i.e. by increasing the viscosity of the p…
Abstract As scaffold material, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has several obvious weaknesses, such as fast biodegradation, acidic degradation product, and hydrophobicity. To solve these problems, a series of PLA/chitosan composite materials was prepared in this study. SEC observation, porosity tests and contact angle measure…
Abstract Triangular, square, and hexagonal gold nanoplates with diameters of 30–90 nm have been prepared through a microwave-polyol method. These nanoplates gave new plasmon band of Au in the 550–800 nm region. It was concluded that nonthermal effect plays a significant role for the formation of Au nanoplates under mi…
Abstract Nanocomposites containing a thermoplastic blend and organophilic layered clay (organoclay) were produced by melt compounding. The blend composition was kept constant [polyamide 6 (PA6) 70 wt % + polypropylene (PP) 30 wt %], whereas the organoclay content was varied between 0 and 10 wt %. The mechanical proper…
We study the electron-phonon interaction in the strongly correlated superconducting cuprates. Two types of the electron-phonon interactions are introduced in the $t-J$ model; the diagonal and off-diagonal interactions which modify the formation energy of the Zhang-Rice singlet and its transfer integral, respectively.…
We have studied a variety of different disordered materials, including molecular and ionic liquids, supercooled liquids, glasses, ionic conductors, and doped semiconductors, in ac electromagnetic fields over an exceptional broad dynamic range, including the rarely investigated GHz to THz region. All classes of disorde…
Controlling the size, shape and structure of nanocrystals is technologically important because of the strong effect of size and shape on optical, electrical, and catalytic properties. Monodispersed nanocrystals of copper oxide were prepared by the precipitation–pyrolysis method. By controlling the starting materials,…
Abstract In this study, electrospinning was used to fabricate ethyl–cyanoethyl cellulose [(E‐CE)C] fiber from a solution of (E‐CE)C/tetrahydrofuran. The diameter of the thinnest fiber fabricated during the electrospinning was about 200 nm. It was found that the diameters of the fibers and their distribution depend on…
A possibility is discussed of observing spin injection effect on the ferromagnet domain structure by means of resonant excitation of the domain wall oscillations by a spin-polarized ac injection current. The natural frequency of the domain wall oscillations in a thin ferromagnetic film with parallel anisotropy is calc…
