Advanced decortication technology is based on a simple mechanical process, in which bast fibres are decorticated by impact stress. Hemp, flax and linseed are processed with the same technology that is suitable for both unretted and retted plants. The process includes all stages from the reception of the straw bales to…

Holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal reflective structures have been formed using a highly elastic photopolymer. The elasticity allows for mechanical tuning of the reflection notch by over 120nm in the visible spectral range using compressive stress. The shift in the central position of the reflection notch is…

Abstract Values of the Fano factor are widely scattered in the literature, indicating the difficulties in its determination. We chose to analyze both the escape peaks and parent peaks of Ge detector spectra where the parent peak penetration depth and the escape peak escape depth are much larger than the size of the in…

BaTiO 3 thin films were grown on (001)SrTiO3 by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. Transmission electron microscopy studies showed that there is a high density of dislocation half-loops inside 8- and 12-nm-thick films. By thermal annealing at 1000°C, the isolated small dislocation half-loops grow and combine to form a s…

We report on the controlled fabrication of the arrays of self-organized fingerlike nanostructures of SrRuO3 that form on SrTiO3(001). We show that the size (width and height) of the one-dimensional nanometric units can be tuned or suppressed by using appropriate substrate vicinality θv and surface termination. Critica…

With a recently developed ab initio nonequilibrium Green's function formalism, we have examined the problem of quantum transport through prototypical, short, semiconducting nanotube devices. Metallic behavior is predicted for very short nanotubes, which crosses over to semiconducting behavior as the tube length is inc…

In this work we present a prospective study on the possible use of certain quasicrystalline alloys in order to improve the efficiency of segmented thermoelectric generators. To this end, we obtain a closed analytical expression for their compatibility factor [G. J. Snyder and T. S. Ursell, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 148301…

Ba ( Co x , Ti 1 − x ) O 3 thin films were prepared on fused quartz substrate by a sol-gel method. The results of x-ray diffraction showed that the films are perovskite phase and the change of lattice constant caused by different Co concentration is undetectable. Optical transmittance measurement indicated that Co dop…

Abstract The degradation of PI film irradiated with VUV in a wavelength of 5 to 200 nm is investigated. The results show that transparency of PI film decreases obviously after irradiation and more obviously for the film irradiated with VUV of higher intensity. In addition, the absorption line red‐shifts for the PI fil…

Using in situ high-pressure x-ray diffraction methods, the compressibility of 30nm 3C–SiC nanocrystals was studied under hydrostatic conditions while helium was used as pressure transmitting medium, as well as under nonhydrostatic conditions without pressure medium. No threshold pressure phenomenon was observed for th…

Aluminum-induced layer exchange (ALILE) was used to crystallize amorphous silicon–germanium (a-Si1−xGex) alloys. A bilayer structure of aluminum (Al) and a-Si1−xGex was deposited on quartz substrates and annealed below the eutectic temperature of the binary Al–Ge alloy (420°C). The annealing process results in an almo…
