The direct imaging of atomic arrangement is essential for investigation of materials science. The rotation of forward focusing peaks in photoelectron intensity angular distribution (PIAD) pattern excited by circularly polarized light with the opposite helicities is found to be the same as the parallax in stereo view.…
Residual stress of thin diamond films deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was measured using a new method for residual stress measurement we developed. Compressive residual stresses of CVD diamond films were determined from the height and diameter of protuberance of film delaminated by pulse laser spal…
We present a scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) study of synthetic polycrystalline boron-doped diamond in the temperature range 0.5–4.3 K. At 4.3 K the sample-surface was very non-uniform and tunneling I(V) spectra were typical for p-type semiconductors. After cooling below the superconducting transi…
Diamantane is a hydrocarbon whose carbon framework is a part of diamond lattices. Acylative ring expansion of 1- and 4-diamantanecarbaldehyde using benzoyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid yielded 10-hydroxyhomodiamant-9-yl benzoate and 7-hydroxyhomodiamant-8-yl benzoate, whose skeletal stru…
The increasingly design requirements for modern engineering applications resulted in the development of new materials with improved mechanical properties. Low density, combined with excellent weight/strength ratio as well as corrosion resistance, make the titanium attractive for application in landing gears. Fatigue c…
AbstractSelf-assembled GaInNAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown on GaAs (001) substrate using solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy (SSMBE) equipped with a radio-frequency nitrogen plasma source. The GaInNAs QD growth characteristics were extensively investigated using atomic-force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL),…
AbstractIn this paper, we propose the first numerical study of nanotube-based torsional oscillators via developing a new multiscale model. The edge-to-edge technique was employed in this multiscale method to couple the molecular model, i.e., nanotubes, and the continuum model, i.e., the metal paddle. Without losing ac…
AbstractA new method for the capping of colloidal CdS nanocrystals with ZnS shells is presented. A combination of the monomolecular precursor zinc ethylxanthate (Zn(ex)2) and zinc stearate was used to replace hazardous organometallic reagents usually applied in this procedure, i.e. bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfide and diet…
AbstractHydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGP) comprise a super-family of extracellular structural glycoproteins whose precise roles in plant cell wall assembly and functioning remain to be elucidated. However, their extended structure and repetitive block co-polymer character of HRGPs may mediate their self-assembl…
We have investigated the low-energy electronic state of boron-doped diamond thin film by the laser-excited photoemission spectroscopy. A clear Fermi-edge is observed for samples doped above the semiconductor–metal boundary, together with the characteristic structures at 150×n meV possibly due to the strong electron–la…
In this work, we report on superconductivity (SC) found in thin B-doped nanocrystalline diamond films, prepared by the PE-CVD technique. The thickness of the films varies from about 100 to 400 nm, the films are grown on low-alkaline glass at substrate temperatures of about 500–700 °C. The SIMS measurements show that f…
The effects of static magnetic fields at the cellular level are reviewed. Past studies have shown that a static magnetic field alone does not have a lethal effect on the basic properties of cell growth and survival under normal culture conditions, regardless of its magnetic density. It has also been shown that cell cy…
AbstractIn the buffer layer-assisted growth method, a condensed inert gas layer of xenon, with low-surface free energy, is used as a buffer to prevent direct interactions of deposited atoms with substrates. Because of␣an unusually wide applicability, the buffer layer-assisted growth method has provided a unique avenue…
Abstract We report on the growth and characterization of lateral InAs/GaAs (001) quantum-dot molecules (QDMs) suitable for single QDM optical spectroscopy. The QDMs, forming by depositing InAs on GaAs surfaces with self-assembled nanoholes, are aligned along the [] direction. The relative number of isolated single qua…
AbstractThere is intense and growing interest in one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures from the perspective of their synthesis and unique properties, especially with respect to their excellent optical response and an ability to form heterostructures. This review discusses alternative approaches to preparation and organ…
AbstractOne of the main directions of contemporary semiconductor physics is the production and study of structures with a dimension less than two: quantum wires and quantum dots, in order to realize novel devices that make use of low-dimensional confinement effects. One of the promising fabrication methods is to use s…
AbstractDNA micropatterns have been fabricated on the surface of Polycarbonate (PC) bases of compact discs, with the ultimate goal of using conventional CD technology for DNA analysis. To confirm the formation of -COOH groups on the PC surface upon UV/ozone treatment, contact angle titrations were carried out on the P…
AbstractWe have studied the photoluminescence and Raman spectra of a system consisting of a polystyrene latex microsphere coated by CdTe colloidal quantum dots. The cavity-induced enhancement of the Raman scattering allows the observation of Raman spectra from only a monolayer of CdTe quantum dots. Periodic structure…
AbstractFor InAs/GaAs quantum dot system, the evolution of the wetting layer (WL) with the InAs deposition thickness has been studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS). Two transitions related to the heavy- and light-hole in the WL have been distinguished in RD spectra. Taking into account the strain and se…
In this study, the subsurface microstructure of alumina wear surfaces and the microstructure of agglomerated debris generated from unlubricated sliding wear at room temperature have been investigated through transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Specimens were thinned through the use of a focused ion beam miller (FI…
