An equivalent circuit model is proposed for the Schottky barrier at the junction between a metallic electrode and a semiconducting carbon nanotube (NT). We have applied the model to a gold-NT junction under the presence of neutral polarized NH3 molecules, and have shown that visible Schottky barrier modulation is poss…
Depositing polymdimethylsiloxane (PDMS) from an isopropanol solution onto a glass slide surface by wiping with a fuzz-free wipe results in highly ordered structures. Dewetting of the highly diluted PDMS solution and evaporation of the solvent yields nanostructures. The structure is well characterized as polymer nanoch…
We present soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on spinel manganites and show it can be used as a powerful tool to directly probe the Jahn-Teller (JT) splitting energy in transition metal oxides. The MnL2,3-edge XAS spectra of the spinel ZnMnxGa2−xO4(x=0.5,1.0,1.4,and2.0) and AMn2O4(A=MgandCd) change very systemat…
The performance of a pyroelectric detector with a carbon multiwalled nanotube coating was evaluated in the 0.9-14 microm wavelength range. The relative spectral responsivity of this detector was shown to be flat over most of the wavelength range examined, and the spectral flatness was shown to be comparable to the bes…
We report that hyper-Rayleigh scattering, surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering, and two-photon excited luminescence occur intermittently by focusing a continuous-wave near-infrared (cw-NIR) laser into a colloidal silver solution including rhodamine 6G (R6G) and sodium chloride (NaCl). On the other hand, continuous…
We report a method to fabricate carbon nanotube reinforced Nylon filaments through an extrusion process. In this process, Nylon 6 and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are first dry mixed and then extruded in the form of continuous filaments by a single screw extrusion method. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and…
To realize the hole-mediated ferromagnetism, manganese and nitrogen-codoped ZnO (Zn1−xMnxO:N) films were prepared on sapphire (0001) by reactive radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering from Zn0.97Mn0.03O ceramic targets using N2 gas. X-ray photon spectra reveal that the doped Mn ions are mainly in divalent states an…
Electronductive waves supported by chains of resonators drilled on a metallic plate are presented. Propagation of energy comes as a consequence of the electric coupling between these resonators. Therefore, these waves are termed as electroinductive waves. They can be interpreted as the dual counterpart of the so-calle…
By a polaronic energy shift, the effective charging energy of molecules can become negative, favoring ground states with even numbers of electrons. Here, we show that charge transport through such molecules near ground-state degeneracies is dominated by tunneling of electron pairs which coexists with (featureless) sin…
We have found that small long-type magnetoelectric (ME) laminate composites of magnetostrictive Tb1−xDyxFe2−y and piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 are quite sensitive to small dc magnetic field (Hdc) variations, when driven by a constant ac magnetic field. The sensitivity limit is Hdc<10−3Oe (10−7Tesla) using a consta…
Electronic properties, band width, band gap and van Hove singularities, of (3,0), (4,0) and (9,0) zigzag nanotubes are comparatively investigated in the Harigaya's model and a toy model including the contributions of bonds of different types to the SSH Hamiltonian differently. Optical transition frequencies are calcul…
For single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) field effect transistors, vertical scaling of high k dielectrics by atomic layer deposition (ALD) currently stands at ~8nm with subthreshold swing S~70-90 mV/decade at room temperature. ALD on as-grown pristine SWNTs is incapable of producing a uniform and conformal dielectric…
Using a state-of-the-art full-potential electronic structure method within the local spin density approximation, we study the electronic and magnetic structure of Mn 2 V-based full Heusler alloys: Mn 2 VZ (Z = Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge and Sn). We show that small expansion of the calculated theoretical equilibrium lattice co…
Na0.5CoO2 exhibits a metal-insulator transition at 53 K upon cooling. The nature of another transition at 88 K has not been fully clarified yet. We report the results of measurements of the electrical conductivity, the magnetic susceptibility and 23Na NMR on a powder sample of Na0.5CoO2, including the mapping of NMR s…
Low-cost raw materials can be used to reduce significantly the production cost of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). In this study, extruded rice bran (ERB) and extruded cornstarch (ECS) were used as carbon sources to produce PHA by an archaea, Haloferax mediterranei, which cannot use native rice bran or cornstarch as a car…
We present here the design of nano-inclusions made of properly arranged collections of plasmonic metallic nano-particles that may exhibit a resonant magnetic dipole collective response in the visible domain. When such inclusions are embedded in a host medium, they may provide metamaterials with negative effective perm…

The Bilbao Crystallographic Server is a web site with crystallographic programs and databases freely available on-line (http://www.cryst.ehu.es). The server gives access to general information related to crystallographic symmetry groups (generators, general and special positions, maximal subgroups, Brillouin zones etc…
This textbook gives a clear and thorough presentation of the fundamental principles of mechanics and strength of materials.It provides both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials on an intermediate theoretical level, from the mechanical properties through the effects of axial load, torsion, bending, and…
Silver nanoparticles have received considerable attention due to their attractive physical and chemical properties. The surface plasmon resonance and large effective scattering cross section of individual silver nanoparticles make them ideal candidates for molecular labeling, where phenomena such as surface enhance Ra…
