Back-etch methods have been widely used to prepare plan view transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples of thin films on membranes by removal of the Si substrate below the membrane by backside etching. The conventional means to determine when to stop the etch process is to observe the color of the light transmitte…

In the present work, a new kind of protein-loaded layer-by-layer (LbL) film based on nanoparticles was fabricated on electrodes. First, oppositely charged SiO(2) nanoparticles and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDDA) were alternately adsorbed on solid surfaces, forming {PDDA/SiO(2)}(n) LbL films. In the next step, the…

Incorporating the vacancy electromigration theory into the switching-induced charge-injection mechanism into the local phase decomposition model has led to an analytical model for the dielectric fatigue behavior and the remnant polarization in perovskite structured ferroelectric thin films. The model has allowed us to…

Abstract Addition of In and Ag into eutectic Sb 70 Te 30 fast‐growth material was studied. We explored the optical transitions and crystallization kinetics of Sb 70 Te 30 and Ag 3 In 5 Sb 60 Te 32 recording films. The results showed that Ag 3 In 5 Sb 60 Te 32 has a higher crystallization temperature but a similar melt…

Fe–Mn–Si-based shape memory alloys are characterized by a good shape-memory effect, but with a modest corrosion resistance. The goal of this study is to try out a suitable surface treatment in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the Fe–32Mn–6Si alloy without impairing its shape-memory properties. The implemen…

Abstract It is shown that ZnO nanorods grown by MOCVD exhibit enhanced radiation hardness against high energy heavy ion irradiation as compared to bulk layers. The decrease of the luminescence intensity induced by 130 MeV Xe +23 irradiation at a dose of 1.5 × 10 14 cm –2 in ZnO nanorods is nearly identical to that ind…

The capacitance of PbZrO 3 –Pb(Zr 0.8 Ti 0.2 )O 3 epitaxial multilayers is significantly enhanced as the number of interfaces increases at the same total thickness of the structure. A possible explanation for this enhancement can be the increase of the dielectric susceptibility due to the presence of some interfacial…

A violet luminescence band at 3.1099eV was observed at 12.5K in phosphorus-doped ZnO epitaxial films deposited by O2 plasma-assisted pulsed laser ablation. The band results from a transition between a shallow donor and a deep acceptor induced by phosphorus doping. The activation energy of the acceptor varies with the…
