We employ a template-directed self-assembly process to arrange nanospheres as small as 20 nm in a polymer resist template with regular hole arrays with periods down to 42 nm produced using extreme ultraviolet interference lithography. To demonstrate magnetic probe recording employing magnetic tips, an array of magneti…

Mesoporous silica nanofibers were synthesized within the pores of the anodic aluminum oxide template using a simple sol-gel method. Transmission electron microscopy investigation indicated that the concentration of the structure-directing agent (EO20PO70EO20) had a significant impact on the mesostructure of mesoporous…

The Fe doped a-C films on n-type silicon substrates were deposited by pulse laser deposition. The Fe doped a-C films are p-type semiconductor and they are rich in sp2 (∼75%). I-V characteristics and photoconductivity of the structures were measured in the current in-plane geometry. The photoconductivity with magnitude…

We have used laboratory and synchrotron x-ray diffraction to investigate the structural and chemical changes undergone by polycrystalline RbH(2)PO(4) upon heating within the 30-250 °C temperature interval. Our data show no evidence of the previously reported onset of partial polymerization at T = 96 °C (Park et al 200…

An isotropic three-dimensional negative refractive index metamaterial has been fabricated and characterized in the visible regime. The metamaterial is based on a structure consisting of polycrystalline magnesium diboride (MgB2) as the host, providing negative permittivity, and silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles embed…

We demonstrate the accuracy of the finite-element method to calculate the diffraction efficiencies of an arbitrarily shaped crossed grating in a multilayered stack illuminated by an arbitrarily polarized plane wave under oblique incidence. The method has been validated by using classical cases found in the literature.…

Elastic scattering of low-energy (0--13 eV) electrons from more realistic models of a DNA base-pair decamer is studied using multiple-scattering theory and $T$ matrices obtained from ab initio $R$-matrix calculations. The models include two types of irregularities usually found in cellular DNA: base-pair mismatch and…

The 5d transition metal Ir is successfully doped for Fe in SmFeAsO to induce superconductivity with T(c) = 16 K at a doping level of approximately 15 atom %. Ir doping decreases the As-Fe-As bond angle, beta; this behavior is different from the change in beta for the system with doping charges in the charge-reservoir…
