Fragmentation of the SF6 molecule upon F 1s excitation has been studied by resonant photoemission. The F atomiclike Auger line exhibits the characteristic Doppler profile that depends on the direction of the photoelectron momentum relative to the polarization vector of the radiation as well as on the photon energy.

Highly ordered, several nanometers thick films of alkylated large planar, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have been grown on semi-metallic molybdenum disulfide substrates. The films are characterized by a two-dimensional lateral arrangement of columns standing at the surface on a macroscopic scale. The…

Sequential structure-factor data have been collected during the transformation from relaxed high-density to low-density amorphous ice at temperatures above 105 K. Trends in the measured structure factor and in particular the height of the first sharp diffraction peak as a function of its position show that, at ambient…

At room temperature, polycrystalline Fe 3 O 4 films with thicknesses in the range 5–1120 nm have been prepared by reactive sputtering. Transmission electron microscopy imaging shows that uniform Fe 3 O 4 grains are well separated by grain boundaries and their size decreases with film thickness. The change of resistivi…

We developed a CVD system employing inductively coupled micronplasma generated by applying UHF (UHF microplasma). This system can be operated easily in air at atmospheric pressure with a few tens of watts of UHF power and enables us to deposit material on a wide variety of substrates. Deposition of carbon from CH 4 /A…

A polyelectrolyte architecture was fabricated that was composed of chitosan and organophosphorus hydrolase polycations along with thioglycolic acid-capped CdSe quantum dots (QDs) as the polyanion. This film was imaged by epifluorescence microscopy. UV−vis and emission spectroscopies were used to monitor the growth of…

Abstract The first part of this investigation focused on the synthesis and characterization of a new type of intumescent flame‐retardant (IFR) agent. Four steps were used in the synthesis process. The structure was characterized by FTIR, magic‐angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS‐NMR) 13 C spectroscopy, and…

In contrast to the conventional photoorientation process with blue light, an orientation of 4-cyano-4‘-alkoxyazobenzene side groups parallel to the electric field vector of the incident light is generated upon irradiating films of a liquid-crystalline side-chain polymer with linearly polarized red light. The polyester…

The chemisorption of atomic hydrogen on the single-walled armchair and zigzag carbon nanotubes is studied with ab initio calculations. The binding energy of H adsorption at the exterior of the nanotubes is much greater than that at the interior. We predict that two rows of H atoms chemisorbed on selective sites exteri…

Carrier-doping effects on the structural phase transitions in ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ are investigated by the first-principles calculations. It is found that the instabilities of the cubic phase to both the ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{6}$-octahedron rotated phase and the ferroelectric phase are modulated characteristically by the…

The room temperature photoluminescence property of ZnO particles embedded in sol–gel silica was investigated. Three ZnO emissions at about 3.25 eV (ultraviolet (UV)), 2.8 eV (blue), and 2.45 eV (green) were observed. The blue and green emissions were ascribed to interstitial zinc and oxygen vacancy defects in ZnO. At…
