As temperature changes, the equilibrium condition at a solid-liquid interface would be disrupted and the ion density varies, which, in turn, affects the interface potential. In the current study, this phenomenon is analyzed by using nanoporous monel electrodes. The experimental data show that, as the ion density is th…

Ensembles of CdSe∕ZnSe quantum dots (QDs), with different self-assembled patterns, have been realized by depositing amorphous Te (a-Te) onto an epitaxial CdSe layer and subsequently desorbing it. During temperature ramp up for desorption, Te forms an epitaxially oriented polycrystalline layer along the grain boundarie…

We have investigated the radius dependence of the melting temperature of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by classical molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations using the environment-dependent interatomic potential (EDIP) proposed by Marks. Here we define the 'melting temperature' as a temperature at which there occu…

The coupling between the two magnetic layers in a series of (Ga,Mn)As∕GaAs∕(Ga,Mn)As magnetic tunnel junctions with different nonmagnetic spacer thicknesses tNM were studied by magnetization and planar Hall effect (PHE) measurements. The PHE data indicate that the magnetization reversals of the two layers are strongly…

The conducting properties of various finite graphene ribbons and their junctions are investigated. These were found to depend strongly on their size and geometric features. Small arm-chair ribbons, when connected through tapered geometries, are found to exhibit very narrow conducting windows. No conductance is found t…

We use an in situ Al decoration technique to control the transport characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (SWNT-FETs). Al nanoparticle decoration in a high vacuum caused the devices to change from p-type to n-type FETs, and subsequent exposure to the ambient atmosphere induced a grad…

Abstract Even far above the glass transition temperature, the amorphous phase in semicrystalline polymers is known to be constrained by crystals and less mobile than a pure amorphous polymer close to its equilibrium rubbery state. The aim of this paper devoted to Polyamide 11 was to investigate the existence and signi…

Nanoparticles such as inorganic fullerenes of metal dichalcogenides or carbon nanotubes have been recently used as lubricant additives and they present excellent tribological properties. Raman spectroscopy is a useful technique to follow modification of these two structures. We developed an original tribometer able to…

An amphoteric bio-compatible and stealth-like poly (amidoamine) named ISA23 was obtained from 2,2-bis(acrylamido)acetic acid (BAC) and 2-methylpiperazine. The partial substitution of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (Amino-TEMPO) for 2-methylpiperazine as co-monomer gave two new PAA-TEMPO conjugates based o…

Ferromagnetic Bi–Cu codoped ZnO nanowires were fabricated at temperatures as low as 300°C via a vapor phase transport using the mixture of Zn, BiI3 and CuI powders. They are grown as a bicrystal, along the [011¯2] direction, have a width of 40–150nm, and a length of a few microns. The investigation of the growth mecha…

We electron-dope single crystal samples of SrTiO3 by exposing them to Ar+ irradiation and observe carrier mobility similar in its magnitude and temperature dependence to the carrier mobility in other electron-doped SrTiO3 systems. We find that some transport properties are time dependent. In particular, the sheet resi…

A method based on the thermal equilibrium theory of crystal defects for estimating the Mn4+ ion content ratio (RM4) at B sites in ABO3 self-doped manganite La1−xMnO3−δ is presented. For this kind of manganite, the relationship between the Curie temperature (TC) and RM4 can be explained by the double exchange mechanism…
