Pressure-driven liquid infiltration into hydrophobic nanoporous solids has important applications for energy absorption. Using water infiltration into a carbon nanotube as a model system, here we show from molecular dynamics simulation that with applied charges, the effective degree of hydrophobicity can be increased,…
Abstract Geometrical relationships involving inclusions and partial inclusions in metamorphic microstructures can be inadequate for inferring an order of crystallization and hence a metamorphic reaction. Unique spatial and/or chemical relationships need to be defined for mineral inclusions, in the context of a referen…
Atom-probe technique was applied to analyze three-dimensional dopant distribution in Si substrate of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) structure. As a result, three-dimensional As atom distribution implanted in Si was obtained. The quantification of the As atom distribution in a depth directio…
Abstract In the present study, the effects of silicon oxide layer of Si‐DLC coatings on the tribological properties were investigated. The Si‐DLC coatings were deposited on Si substrates using a bi‐polar type plasma‐based ion implantation and deposition technique (bi‐polar type PBII&D), and the surface of the Si‐DLC c…
By covering a much wider concentration range than previous studies we find a very unusual exponential dependence of the rate of helix formation on concentration of gelatin in water and ethylene glycol solutions. By applying a procedure of concentration-temperature superposition we build a master curve describing the i…
Abstract The purpose of this project was to synthesize fluorinated polyimide (PI) nanocomposite membranes in order to study the gas permeation rates and selectivity of carbon dioxide and methane. PIs were synthesized from 2,2‐bis(3,4‐anhydrodicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane (6F dianhydride, 6FDA) and 4,4′‐diaminodiphe…
Single and double barrier MgO based magnetic tunnel junction sensors were processed with area of 200μm2 and small aspect ratios (<2). These sensors present resistance area products ranging from 10to70kΩμm2 and tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) values of up to 160%. Sensor linearization was mostly obtained by thinning…
Narrow-track current-perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magnetoresistive heads containing Heusler alloy layer have been fabricated utilizing an abutted junction hard bias design. The head performance has been tested quasistatically and dynamically under high density recording conditions using a perpendicular magnetic re…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Ever since the discovery of photodynamic therapy, there has been a continuous search for more potent photosensitizers. Towards that end, we have synthesized a number of novel phthalocyanine derivatives. The unsymmetrical bisamino silicon(IV) phthalocyanine BAM-SiPc is one of the most potent com…
Soft x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) are employed to investigate the occupied and unoccupied electronic structures in rocksalt-phase single-crystal CdO. Resonant XES at the $\mathrm{O}K$ edge reveals a clear $\mathrm{Cd}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}4d--\mathrm{O}\phantom{\rule{0…
Using the density-functional-theory based ab initio method, the authors determine the Ehrlich–Schwoebel barrier as a function of step thickness. The prototype material system is a Cu⟨110⟩ step of B type on a {111} surface. The calculation results show that the diffusion barrier of an adatom is 0.06eV on a flat Cu{111}…
We present findings on the effect of microstructure on magnetic properties of the epitaxial FePt system. Epitaxial c-axis oriented FePt was synthesized on Si (100) using TiN as a template buffer. The microstructure was progressively varied from a 9nm nanoparticle system to a 30nm thick continuous thin film. We found t…
The Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnection paradigm has been gaining momentum thanks to its flexibility, scalability and suitability to deep submicron technology processes. The next challenge is to use NoCs as the backbones of the upcoming generation of 3D chips, assembled by stacking multiple silicon layers. Multiple…
A novel routing algorithm, named Balanced Adaptive Routing Protocol (BARP), is proposed for NoCs to provide adaptive routing and ensure deadlock-free and livelock-free routing at the same time. By evenly distributing input packets of a router among all its shortest path output ports, a novel adaptive routing protocol…
Ba(2)TiGe(2)O(8) crystals were selectively precipitated on femtosecond laser irradiated BaO-TiO(2)-GeO(2) glass surface. Furthermore, the crystal could grow from the surface of glass to the interior towards the laser movement direction when the laser focus was continuously moved. The laser-induced crystal was confirme…
We used a water-soluble bis(fluorinated phenyl azide) to cross-link a poly(ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulphonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS), hole-injection layer, with a view to its future use with water-soluble emitters. To enable direct comparison with conventional PEDOT:PSS, we studied the cross-linked films in di…
Acoustic resonant modes in a slab with a periodic array of holes are analyzed by using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. We show that there exist two different types of resonant modes in this slab: the coupled Stoneley wave resonant modes and the waveguide resonant modes. Both resonant modes can…
Communication of risk profiles associated with sunscreens incorporating nanoparticles has been challenging when some communicators shift risk profiles from highly problematic nanoparticles to others, which are much less problematic. This article vets a popular publication from a civic advocacy group that cited scienti…
Since its first observation by Wood in 1902 [1,2], the physical phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has found its way into practical applications in sensitive detectors, capable of detecting sub-monomolecular coverage. What is surface plasmon resonance? Wood observed a pattern of “anomalou...
In this study, diamond nanoparticles were plasma treated by glow discharges of methane and oxygen with an aim of improving their dispersion characteristics in a base fluid of water and enhancing the thermal conductivity of the resulting nanofluids. It was found that, after plasma treatment, stable nanofluids with impr…
