The growth of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers by catalytic chemical vapor deposition at lower temperatures is found to be aided by a separate catalyst pretreatment step in which the catalyst thin film is restructured into a series of nanoparticles with a more active surface. The restructuring is par…
We study the properties of a capacitive 13.56 MHz discharge with a mixture of Ar/C2H2 taking into account the plasmochemistry and growth of heavy hydrocarbons. A hybrid model was developed to combine the kinetic description for electron motion and the fluid approach for negative and positive ion transports and plasmoc…
We report the magnetocaloric effect in the La0.67Ca0.33Mn0.9Fe0.1O3 perovskite. A peak in the magnetic entropy change [ΔSM(H)] versus T curve, centered around 113 K, has been observed. −ΔSM(H) increases with an increasing applied magnetic field. The maximum value of −ΔSM(H) for ΔH=3 T field has been found to be 1.18 J…
A comparative investigation of charge transport properties is presented, for polymeric [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)], single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) and inorganic (indium tin oxide, ITO), transparent conducting electrodes. The polymeric and nanotube systems show hopping tran…
The morphology and structure of interfaces in PbTiO3–CoFe2O4 films on SrTiO3 substrates of various orientations are studied. It is found that for film with thickness more than 100 nm with columnar two-phase morphology, the average orientations of the interfaces between the phases reside on the {110}, {111}, and {112}…
We report the dependence of the ferroelectric domain configuration and switching behavior on the shape (square versus round) of epitaxial BiFeO3 (BFO) nanostructures. We fabricated (001) oriented BFO(120 nm)/SrRuO3(SRO,125 nm) film layers on (001) SrTiO3 single crystals by rf magnetron sputter deposition, and patterne…
In response to genotoxic stress, p53 induces the tumor suppressors maspin and PTEN. Here we demonstrate that in response to limited oxygen conditions PTEN and p53 work in tandem to induce maspin in glioblastoma cells. In response to hypoxia a portion of PTEN migrates to the nucleus and complexes with p53, while cytopl…
The quantitative determination of chemical solid phases by secondary neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS) based on the quantitative character of this technique is described and demonstrated for several thin film structures. The intermetallic phases in a Ni–Zn coating on Fe are shown to be achieved directly from the concen…
Abstract Samples of lanthanum‐doped nickel hydroxide were prepared by electrodeposition method. The structure and electrochemical properties of the samples were studied by X‐ray diffraction and a home‐made open three‐electrode cell system, respectively. The results show that the deposition process of Ni(OH) 2 and La(O…
We report the room temperature ferromagnetism of Cu doped ZnO nanowire arrays embedded in anodic aluminum oxide template. The nanowires about 100 nm in diameter were fabricated by electrodepositing Zn2+ and Cu2+ into the template and postoxidation annealing in air atmosphere. Magnetization measurements indicated that…
Electric-field-induced magnetization (EIM) in small Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/terfenol-D bilayered composites was investigated by using double coils, which could conveniently detect the EIM behaviors representing the whole sample and compare the magnetoelectric coupling from different samples. The EIM characteristics with the drivi…
BiFeO 3 (BFO) films were processed on BaTiO3 (BTO) buffered (111) Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition. Improved ferroelectric properties, as well as induced ferromagnetism, were observed by the insertion of a BTO layer for rather thick BFO films (450 nm) deposited at an oxygen pressure of 40 mTorr. Redu…
Ultrafine Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphors were prepared by a modified solution combustion method. The as-prepared samples with sizes of 17.6–80 nm (nanophosphors) and 300 nm (submicron phosphors) were characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, selected area electron diffrac…
Cu 2 ( OH ) 3 Cl with an average size of 5–10 μm have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction with a yield of ∼100%. After the as-prepared Cu2(OH)3Cl was treated with NaOH solution, the green crystals were converted to blue sisal-like Cu(OH)2 with needle-like nanorods pointing out radially from the core. Th…
We investigate in detail the migration kinetics of oxygen vacancies (OVs) in Ba-doped Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) ferroelectrics by complex impedance spectroscopy. The temperature dependent dc-electrical conductivity σdc suggests that Ba doping into PZT can lower significantly the density of OVs, leading to the distinctl…
To suppress charge injection from electrodes, direct fluorination using fluorine gas was used for linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) since it is one of the most effective methods of the polymer surface modification. Surface fluorination of the LLDPE plates was obtained as indicated by attenuated total reflection…
Traditionally shear thickening fluid (STF) reinforced with Kevlar has been used to develop flexible armor. At the core of the STF-Kevlar composites is a mixture of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and silica particles. This mixture is often known as STF and is consisted of approximately 45 wt % PEG and 55 wt % silica. During…
In response to theoretical calculations on the thermoelectric performance of LiZnSb, we report the pertinent transport properties between room temperature and 523 K. Nominal LiZnSb samples are found to be p-type, with a carrier concentration in the range (4–7)×1020 cm−3. The thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) is foun…
GdVO 4 nanoparticles doped with Dy3+ have been prepared using urea hydrolysis method in ethylene glycol medium. Linear decrease in the unit cell volume indicates the quantitative substitution of Gd3+ lattice sites by Dy3+ in GdVO4. The luminescence intensity of electric dipole transition at 573 nm is more than that of…
Thin films of the phase change material Ge–Sb with Ge concentrations between 7.3 and 81.1 at. % were deposited by cosputtering from elemental targets. Their crystallization behavior was studied using time-resolved x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray reflectivity, pr…
