Dielectric spectra measured within 10−3Hz⩽f⩽104Hz in the paraelectric state of Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 (SBN61) at T>320K reveal a broadened Debye-type relaxation at f≈100Hz and a power-law low-f increase at f<10−1Hz. These anomalies are attributed to the dynamic modes wall segment relaxation and creep of the i…

The anisotropy effect in charge transfer induced by collision of ${\mathrm{C}}^{q+}$ ions $(q=2,4)$ on uracil has been studied theoretically using ab initio molecular methods followed by a semiclassical dynamical treatment. The process depends strongly on the orientation of the projectile in the ${\mathrm{C}}^{4+}+\te…

The results of synchrotron x-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements on a triangular lattice antiferromagnet $\mathrm{Cu}\mathrm{Fe}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ subjected to a pulsed high magnetic field are reported. We find the lattice constant, $b$, contracts stepwise with increasing magnetic field in coincidence with t…

This letter illustrates the transport phenomena associated with single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) junctions of Y- and cross-configurations. Localized gating effect exhibited by Y- and crossed-junctions suggests the resemblance of their electrical characteristics with ambipolar and unipolar p-type FETs, respectively…

The maximum cooling temperature of a uniform thermoelectric material is limited by its nondimensional figure of merit ZT. Conventionally cascaded stages or materials with a larger figure of merit are needed to obtain a higher cooling temperature. In this letter, the authors prove that the maximum cooling in an optimal…

The convergent synthesis of symmetric PAMAM-like dendrimers from azide-functionalized poly(amido- amine) (PAMAM) dendrons and two different multi-alkynes was investigated. The stitching method was based on the click chemistry protocol, i.e., the copper-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between an alkyne and an azide.

ZnO quantum dots (QDs)-SiO2 nanocomposite films were prepared using the target-attached radio-frequency sputtering. The transmission electron microscopy revealed the uniform dispersion of ZnO QDs with diameters about 2–7nm in amorphous SiO2 matrix. The photoluminescence showed that small ZnO QDs are able to emit white…
