A detailed analysis of the structure and dynamics of the crystal-melt interface region in silicon, modeled with the Stillinger-Weber potential, is performed via molecular dynamics simulations. The focus is on the faceted (111) crystal-melt interface, but properties of the rough (100) interface are also determined. We…

Superconductivity in fully epitaxial bcc-Fe/V/Fe hybrid spin valve structures is influenced by the spin currents and supercurrents as well as band symmetry. The transition temperature is spin dependent in the presence of the proximity effect. A unique feature in this system is the band symmetry filtering taking place…

Low temperature, high voltage! Direct oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels, including methane, ethane, propane, and butane, occurs over Pt-free anodes in a proton-conducting fuel cell in the temperature range 100–300 °C. A Mo2C–ZrO2/C anode (30 mg Mo2C–ZrO2 per cm2) yields power densities equal to those obtained from Pt/C a…

Abstract Orange‐emitting phosphorescent copolymers containing iridium complexes and bis(carbazolyl)fluorene groups in their side chains are employed as the emissive layer in multilayer organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). The efficiency of the OLED devices is optimized by varying characteristics of the copolymers: t…

We have studied the recording performance of perpendicular exchange spring layer (ESL)-media for hard disk drive recording. In particular, we investigated the role of interlayer coupling by varying the thickness of a nonmagnetic coupling layer (CL). We demonstrate that not only the media writeability is improved upon…

A wideband near-IR (NIR) luminescence centered at 1080 nm was found in a RbPb(2)Cl(5):Bi single crystal grown by the Bridgman technique. Absorption, luminescence, and excitation of luminescence spectra were investigated at room and cryogenic temperatures. The luminescence was proposed to be due to the (3)P(1)-->(3)P(0…

The strain induced by room temperature helium implantation into 4H-SiC below the threshold amorphization dose results from both point and He-related defects. When the helium concentration is lower than 0.5% the strain profile follows the point defect profile, whereas at higher concentrations the He ions have a dominan…

Control of the alkali doping level in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) films was demonstrated using alkali-silicate thin layers of various thickness deposited on substrates prior to the sputtering of the Mo back contact layer. Not only the alkali density in the CIGS film, but also the Ga composition distribution in CIGS films, CIG…

Abstract Aiming at modulating the packing density within functional self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs), two azo‐biphenyl derivatives AZO1 and AZO2 comprising a terminal sulfur anchor group have been designed and synthesized. While AZO1 allows for a coplanar arrangement of both biphenyl subunits, additional steric repuls…

The dissipation of an elastic wave in dry and wet glass bead packings is measured using multiple sound scattering. The interplay of a linear viscoelastic loss and a nonlinear frictional one is observed in dry media. The Mindlin model provides a qualitative description of the experiment, but fails to quantitatively acc…

Crystalline TiO2 nanotube arrays are synthesized using a two-step process. The Ti foil sample is first treated with an oxidizing agent-containing electrolyte, either H2O2 or (NH4)2S2O8, then anodized at constant voltage in a fluoride-containing electrolyte. The resulting films are directly used for water photoelectrol…

We investigate how to tailor the structural, crystallographic and optical properties of GaAs nanowires. Nanowires were grown by Au nanoparticle-catalyzed metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. A high arsine flow rate, that is, a high ratio of group V to group III precursors, imparts significant advantages. It dramati…

The melting of ice under pressure is investigated with a series of first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, a two-phase approach is used to determine the melting temperature of the ice-VII phase in the range of 10-50 GPa. Our computed melting temperatures are consistent with existing diamond anv…
