The dielectric properties, including the DC breakdown strength, of 1 mol% Nb 5+ ‐doped BaTiO 3 ceramics with different quantities of excess TiO 2 have been investigated. The breakdown strength was found to decrease with increasing TiO 2 content, but could not be readily explained by relative density and grain size eff…
This paper studies a tungsten cold field emitter throughout its life cycle. The field emission properties and corresponding tungsten emitter evolution throughout its life cycle fall into three distinct regions which are discussed. It was found that adsorbate dynamics affect field emission current stability significant…
The crystal structures of 222- and 221-polybasite [(Ag,Cu)(16)(Sb,As)(2)S(11)] crystals have been solved and refined by means of X-ray diffraction data (collected at 100 and 120 K, respectively) from twinned crystals. Both structures consist of the stacking of [(Ag,Cu)(6)Sb(2)S(7)](2-) and [Ag(9)CuS(4)](2+) module lay…
The deposition and characterization of n-type Bi2Te3 and p-type Sb2Te3 semiconductor films are reported. The films were deposited by thermal co-evaporation on a 25 µm thick polyimide (kapton) substrate. The co-evaporation method is inexpensive, simple, and reliable, when compared to other techniques that need longer t…
Half-Heusler compounds ErPdX (X=Sb and Bi) were prepared by a spark plasma sintering technique. Their thermoelectric properties at high temperature and thermophysical properties at room temperature were measured. The electrical resistivity ρ and thermoelectric power S of ErPdSb are larger than those of ErPdBi, and bot…
Plasma-generated silicon nanocrystals have been selectively trapped on a cooled substrate to yield nanocrystalline films. We here present experimental evidence that the contribution of positively charged nanocrystals largely dominates the film deposition. As a direct application, we illustrate how the use of a simple…
We report on a polarization-insensitive liquid crystal (LC) Fresnel lens with the centrosymmetry of dynamic focusing in an orthogonally alternating hybrid configuration. The polarization-insensitive Fresnel lens having such successive orthogonal hybrid alignment in two adjacent zones was fabricated using a single-mask…
Cr 3 + , Eu2+, and Dy3+ codoped Sr4Al14O25 has been synthesized by solid-state reaction. Long persistent phosphorescence in red of Cr3+ and in blue of Eu2+ has been observed in this system with persistence times of over 2h for the red and 10h for the blue. Red phosphorescence is performed through persistent energy tra…
In the framework of a general Landau free energy function, which is used in conventional ferroelectrics, we investigate the ferroelectric and magnetic properties of multiferroic epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films. It is shown that the properties of BiFeO3 thin films, such as lattice parameter, polarization, and magnetization…
The characteristics of an acceptor level in Sb-doped, p-type ZnO were studied using cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy as a function of hole concentration. Variable-temperature CL measurements allowed us to estimate the activation energy of an Sb-related acceptor from temperature-induced decay of CL intensity. The…
Raman measurements have been performed on ZnO bulk materials implanted with 220keV Mn+ ions with various doses from 1015to1017cm2. The results reveal two modes at about 230 and 523cm−1, respectively, which are not observed in unimplanted ZnO. One mode at 230cm−1 is assigned to the acoustic-phonon branch at the zone bo…
We examined the structural and electrical properties of silver sulfide films as a function of the sulfurization time of 70-nm-thick Ag films. Variations in the sulfurization time caused variations in the Ag∕S atomic percentage ratio of the silver sulfide films, and as-grown films with various compositions, such as S-r…
Coplanar waveguide transmission lines have been used to show that the temperature dependent properties of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films used for microwave phase shifters in the frequency range 45MHz–50GHz are correlated strongly with the microstructure of the films. The highest tunability and figure of merit of the phase…
Amorphous films of GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5 were grown to thicknesses of 0.3–3μm using rf sputtering. The optical properties of these films are influenced by the presence of oxygen impurities. The absorption edge in these glasses is sometimes broader than in “standard” chalcogenide glasses, such as GeSe2 or As2Se3.…
Periodic arrays of Ta nanocolumns, 200nm wide and 600nm tall, were grown by glancing angle sputter deposition onto self-assembled close-packed arrays of 260-nm-diameter silica spheres. Each sphere leads to the development of a single Ta column. As growth progresses, roughening of the column top surfaces causes branchi…
We have investigated visible light diffraction on honeycomb arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes grown on nickel nanoparticles prepared using the nanosphere lithography. A monolayer of 980nm polystyrene spheres was used as the mask for the deposition of nickel nanoparticles from which carbon nanotubes of 100nm in diamet…
We present a detailed strain analysis of epitaxial ferroelectric films taking into account multiple sources of strain, including the lattice mismatch between the film and the substrate, thermal strains due to differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the film and the substrate, and relaxation by the formati…
The structure and luminescence properties of Mn2+ in CdS nanoparticles are studied. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements show the existence of three distinct Mn2+ centers with different local structures in CdS nanocrystals: Mn ions substitutionally incorporated on Cd sites [Signal SI: g=2.0025 and a hyperfine…
We have demonstrated surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy on arrays of Ag nanorods aligned in line by a dynamic oblique deposition technique. For the light polarized along the major axis of the nanorods, the plasma resonance of the Ag nanorods has been tuned to a wavelength suitable for Raman spectroscopy. The average…
A comparative analysis of binary compounds and 61 simple anhydrous salts M(y)(LO(3))(z) (L = S, Se, Te, Cl, Br, I) was performed using the crystallochemical program package TOPOS. A topological similarity was found between the salts and six types of binary compounds (NaCl, NiAs, PoCl(2), Tl(2)S(2), ZnTe, rutile). It i…
