We report a technique to prepare top and bottom oxide electrodes of LaNiO3 (LNO) for lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films using a chemical solution deposition. LNO/PZT/LNO sandwich structures were prepared on platinized silicon by spin coating combined with rapid thermal annealing. Pt dots were sputtered on top of LaNi…
Bi2Se3 nanorods have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal reduction approach. The nanorods formed were ≈10 nm in diameter and 100-200 nm in length. XRD characterization suggested that the product consisted of the hexagonal phase of pure Bi2Se3. EDX and XPS studies further confirmed the composition and purity…
In this paper we focus on supersaturation and migration of the atomic species involved in the growth of oxide films in order to search for new efficient methods for growth of flat, uniform and precipitate-free complex thin films with high quality. In this respect we have applied MOCVD to HTS thin films, 'interrupted g…
Conducting binary‐exchange experiments is a common way to identify cationic preferences of exchanger phases and the two most common approaches are the flow‐through and batch methods. The objectives of this research were to provide the materials and methods for both flow‐through and batch equilibration techniques and t…
Abstract Poly [[2‐methoxy‐5‐(3‐sulfonatopropoxy)‐1, 4‐phenylene]‐1, 2‐ethenediyl] (MPS‐PPV) was an anionic water‐soluble conjugated polymer. A novel single‐component light‐emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) with an indium tin oxide/MPS‐PPV/aluminum sandwich structure has been successfully fabricated. MPS‐PPV serves a…
The coexistence of MA (space group Cm) and MC (space group Pm) phases in as-grown Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)0.68Ti0.32O3 (PMNT32) single crystals is observed at room temperature under polarization microscopy. Laminar MA and MC domains normal to ⟨110⟩cub direction appear alternately in PMNT32 single crystals. In the heating run, t…
GdF3:Eu(3+) nanocrystals (NCs) and nanorods were synthesized by a microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal process. The structure, shape and particle size were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectrum of GdF3:Eu(3+) NCs shows that th…
This paper reports the synthesis of well-aligned copper nanowires using an electrochemical deposition template technique. The electrical properties of copper nanowire arrays synthesized within vertical pores of alumina template were measured using a current-sensing atomic force microscope (AFM), with bias voltage appl…
Solid electrolytes play an important role in several technological applications, such as fuel cells. Optimization of such materials is often done by trial and error. The work of Andersson et al. (1) in this issue of PNAS demonstrates that the choice of dopants can be guided by computer simulations, in which parameters…
Effects of interfacial dislocations on the properties of ferroelectric thin films are investigated, using the dynamic Ginzburg–Landau equation. Our results confirm the existence of a dead layer near the film/substrate interface. Due to the combined effects of the dislocations and the near-surface eigenstrain relaxatio…
We investigated the magnetic and transport properties of Ni-doped TiO2 films grown by a sol-gel method with Ni concentrations from 1% to 8%. All the samples exhibited ferromagnetism at room temperature identified by optical magnetic circular dichroism along with magnetometer measurement. The microstructural and compos…
Abstract In this study, ultrasonic irradiation and in situ emulsion polymerization were combined to prepare stable poly(methyl methacrylate‐ co ‐ n ‐butyl acrylate) (P(MMA‐BA))/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite emulsion, which solves the dispersion problem of CNTs in the latex. Two stages were adopted. In Stage I, ult…
By doping a few atomic percent of 3d-block cations, we demonstrate that the high dielectric response in CaCu3Ti4O12 can be reduced by a factor of ∼103 at room temperature. Each of the added dopants shows its own preferential substitution on either Cu or Ti sites. The dopants that act as acceptors have a critical impac…
Abstract Low and high density polyethylenes (PE) were crosslinked by two methods, namely, chemically by use of different amounts of tert ‐butyl cumyl peroxide (BCUP) and by irradiation with different doses of electron beam. A comparison between the effects of these two types of crosslinking on crystalline structure, c…
Molecular dynamics (MD) methods are utilized to study the formation of vacancy clusters created by displacement cascades in α-Fe containing different concentrations of substitutional He atoms. Primary knock-on atom energies, Ep, from 500eV to 20keV are considered at a temperature of 100K, and the results are compared…
We display an interesting sum rule for the dynamical thermal conductivity for many standard models of condensed matter in terms of the expectation of a thermal operator. We present the thermal operator for several model systems of current interest, which enable an evaluation of the sum rule and the Lorentz number, the…
Polyether polyurethanes are extremely interesting for use in implantable devices. They are, however, susceptible to autoxidative degradation and stress cracking. One approach to improving biostability is to replace some of the polyether with polysiloxane. Shore 80A polyether polyurethanes with 20% (PS-20) and 35% (PS-…
Light fingered: Highly photoluminescent (PL) polycrystalline dendrites have been grown by a controlled thermodynamic process from CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (see PL image, left) and quantum rods (see confocal PL image, right). In these dendrites, energy transfer takes place from the fingers to the core region.
Temperature dependent adhesion behavior and reinforcement in carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer (polyethylene) composite is studied through molecular dynamics simulations. The interfacial shear stress through van der Waals interactions is found to increase linearly with applied tensile strains along the nanotube axis direc…
Thermoelectric material Bi2Te3 nanowire arrays have been successfully prepared by pulsed electrochemical deposition into the nanochannels of porous anodic alumina membranes. X-ray diffraction analyses show that the as-synthesized nanowires have a highly preferential orientation. Scanning electron microscopy, transmiss…
