Abstract A simple approach for one‐pot, one‐step binary mixed homopolymer brush synthesis was devised by combining nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization of styrene and living cationic ring‐opening polymerization of 2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazoline. Surface characterization techniques such as ATR‐FTIR, ellipsometry, XPS, and c…

Ferrite/ferroelectric films are of interest as they afford dual tunability of the permeability and permittivity using magnetic and electric fields. We have grown bilayered thin films of ferrimagnetic BaFe12O19 (BaM) and ferroelectric Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) on A-oriented polished sapphire substrates using pulsed laser de…

Abstract Cobalt‐substituted lithium ferrites (with general composition Li 0.5– x /2 Co x Fe 2.5– x /2 O 4 , where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) were prepared at lower processing temperatures (∼600 °C) by the citrate route. The single‐phase spinel structure was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. The average particle siz…

The authors investigate the magnetic and transport behaviors of Ge1−xMnxTe thin films with high Mn composition (x=0.98) grown by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy. The temperature-dependent magnetization (M-T) gives a Curie paramagnetic temperature θp∼120K, in contrast to the Curie temperature of TC∼95K obtained fro…

We study the band structures of one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystals (PCs) in the subwavelength limit. A "spatial-averaged single-negative" (SASN) gap whose edges correspond to zero (volume) averaged permittivity (epsilon=0) and zero (volume) averaged permeability (micro=0) will appear when metamaterial is included…

High quality Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (BZT) thin films were epitaxially grown on MgO single-crystal substrates. No structural phase transition took place in the temperature range of 80–300K, and the films displayed a typical behavior of relaxor ferroelectrics, which was demonstrated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Frequency and…

Abstract ZnO has gained interest in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV), good for lasing with low threshold. The renewed interest in ZnO is fuelled by availability of high quality substrates, reports of p‐type conductivity, and ferromagnetic behavior when doped with transitions metals. The field…
