Recent findings on intriguing physical properties of new A-site-ordered perovskite structure oxides are reviewed. High-pressure and high-temperature conditions stabilize the square-coordinated Jahn-Teller Cu (2+) ions in the original 12-fold-coordinated positions of the perovskite structure. The special-ordered arrang…

ABSTRACT The effects of chitosan coating on delaying ripening and reducing decay of mango fruits (Mangifera indica L. cv. Tainong) were investigated in this article. The fruits were treated with 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0% chitosan solution, respectively, and were stored at 15C, 85–90% relative humidity. Results showed that the…

BACKGROUND: Computational models of protein structure are usually inaccurate and exhibit significant deviations from the true structure. The utility of models depends on the degree of these deviations. A number of predictive methods have been developed to discriminate between the globally incorrect and approximately c…

We study the effects of growth temperature, Ga:As ratio, and postgrowth annealing procedure on the Curie temperature TC of (Ga,Mn)As layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We achieve the highest TC values for growth temperatures very close to the two-dimensional–three-dimensional phase boundary. The increase in TC, d…

We study the charge state of the diffusing O$_2$ molecule during silicon oxidation through hybrid functional calculations. We calculate charge transition levels of O$_2$ in bulk SiO$_2$ and use theoretical band offsets to align these levels with respect to the Si band edges. To overcome the band-gap problem of semiloc…

A series of layered oxychalcogenide and oxypnictide solids is described that contain oxide layers separated by distinct layers, which contain the softer chalcogenide (S, Se, Te) or pnictide (P, As, Sb, Bi) anions. The relationships between the crystal structures adopted by these compounds are described, and the physic…

The work function difference between single layer and bilayer graphene grown epitaxially on 6H-SiC(0001) has been determined to be 135±9 meV by means of the Kelvin probe force microscopy. Bilayer films are found to increase the work function as compared to single layer films. This method allows an unambiguous distinct…

Recently, micro power generation using electrets has attracted much attention due to its large power output at a low frequency range. Since the theoretical power output is proportional to the square of the surface charge density of the electret, the development of a high-performance electret is required. In the presen…

We present experimental results on the optical absorption spectra of epitaxial graphene from the visible to the terahertz frequency range. In the terahertz range, the absorption is dominated by intraband processes with a frequency dependence similar to the Drude model. In the near-IR range, the absorption is due to in…
