We study theoretically and numerically a family of multipoint dynamic susceptibilities that quantify the strength and characteristic length scales of dynamic heterogeneities in glass-forming materials. We use general theoretical arguments (fluctuation-dissipation relations and symmetries of relevant dynamical field th…
Eight members of the Ag/1,2,4-triazole/polyoxometalates (POMs) hybrid supramolecular family, namely, [Ag4(dmtrz)4][Mo8O26] (dmtrz=3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazole, 1), [Ag6(3atrz)6][PMo12O40]2.H2O (3atrz=3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 2), [Ag2(3atrz)2]2[HPMoVI10MoV2O40] (3), [Ag2(dmtrz)2]2[HPMoVI10MoV2O40] (4), [Ag2(trz)2]2[Mo8O2…
One of the biggest limitations of conventional carbon nanotube device fabrication techniques is the inability to scale up the processes to fabricate a large number of devices on a single chip. In this report, we demonstrate the directed and precise assembly of single-nanotube devices with an integration density of sev…
A mesoscopic tiling pattern with 12-fold symmetry has been observed in a three-component polymer system composed of polyisoprene, polystyrene, and poly(2-vinylpyridine) which forms a star-shaped terpolymer, and a polystyrene homopolymer blend. Transmission electron microscopy images reveal a nonperiodic tiling pattern…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered one of the most promising materials in nanotechnology, with attractive properties for many technologic applications. The different synthesis, purification, and postprocessing methods produce CNTs with different physical characteristics, which can be applied in different fields ra…
As discovered by Ohtomo and Hwang, a large sheet charge density with high mobility exists at the interface between SrTiO3 and LaAlO3. Based on transport, spectroscopic, and oxygen-annealing experiments, we conclude that extrinsic defects in the form of oxygen vacancies introduced by the pulsed laser deposition process…
We report a spin polarized density functional theory study of the electronic and transport properties of graphene nanoribbons doped with boron atoms. We considered hydrogen terminated graphene (nano)ribbons with width up to 3.2 nm. The substitutional boron atoms at the nanoribbon edges (sites of lower energy) suppress…
We study the performance of different approaches that combine multiconfigurational wavefunctions with correlation functionals for the calculation of magnetic coupling constants of several materials and molecules. The systems under study include four antiferromagnetic materials: NiO, KNiF(3), K(2)NiF(4) and La(2)CuO(4)…
Metastable lutetium scandate (LuScO3) thin films with an orthorhombic perovskite structure have been prepared by molecular-beam epitaxy and pulsed-laser deposition on NdGaO3(110) and DyScO3(110) substrates. Stoichiometry and crystallinity were investigated using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry/channeling, x-ray…
We report on the equilibrium shape and atomic structure of thermally-processed Au nanocrystals (NCs) as determined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The NCs were either deposited on SiO2surface or embedded in SiO2layer. Quantitative data on the NCs surface free energy were obtained via the inv…
The electromigration lifetime of dual-damascene Cu interconnects was found to significantly decrease with increasing linewidth, for linewidths ranging between 0.2 and 2.25μm. Voids were also found to preexist in these lines. When void nucleation is required for failure, the electromigration reliability is generally fo…
Vibrational modes were studied in n-type and p-type ZnMgO films doped with P (Mg composition of 7at.%) grown by pulsed laser deposition on sapphire. The characteristic phonon frequencies were deduced from the analysis of IR reflectance measured by Fourier-transform spectroscopy. From comparison with similarly grown Zn…
The authors present a planar medium composed of the copper dendriticlike structure and silver film at infrared frequencies. The dendriticlike copper, which has quasiperiodic hexagonal cells, and silver film were prepared using the electrochemical deposition method. It is shown that the transmission spectra of the copp…
The authors predict a superhard semiconductor phase of Be3N2 with cubic structure using first-principles calculations. The structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of the Be3N2 have been investigated. Results indicate that the predicted Be3N2 phase is a wide gap semiconductor with a direct band gap o…
The nanometer-scale thickness and energy of twin boundaries govern the martensitic twin structure and its dynamics, which are responsible for the actuation and superelasticity of shape memory alloys. In this letter the authors apply a method, which has been recently developed for investigating twin wall structures in…
A major unresolved problem of density functional theory is the yet unknown exchange-correlation functional, which leads to a proliferation of its less or more successful approximations. A practical implementation of these numerous functionals can present a substantial challenge particularly if the higher order functio…
The transport property of the manganite heterojunction La0.9Ca0.1MnO3+δ∕SrTiO3 (doped by 1wt%Nb) has been experimentally studied. The most important results of the present work are the discovery of the charge tunneling-dominated transport process, characterized by the appearance of the rectifying behaviors fairly desc…
The electronic and bonding properties of nitrogenated carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) exposed to chlorine plasma were investigated using C and N K-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM). The C and N K-edge XANES spectra of chlorine-treated N-CNTs consistently reveal th…
The structural evolution of epitaxial monodomain (only 180° domains) ferroelectric PbTiO3 thin film has been investigated, using high-resolution, temperature-dependent, x-ray diffraction. The full set of lattice parameters was obtained from room temperature up to 850K. It allowed the calculation of the different strai…
Abstract We study the effect of Ar + irradiation on the intermediate frequency modes (IFM) in Raman spectra of single‐wall carbon nanotubes. We observe new features in the intermediate frequency region from 386 to 635 cm –1 as the defect concentration increases, whereas at the same time there is a decrease of other IF…
