Diffusion in FCC Co-Al-W Alloys at 900 degree C and 1000 degree C

August 17, 2016
Author(s)
Kil-Won Moon, Carelyn E. Campbell, Maureen E. Williams, William J. Boettinger
Diffusion couple experiments between various Co-rich face centered cubic alloys in the Co-W-Al ternary system have been conducted at 900 degree C and 1000 degree C. Diffusion coefficients have been extracted for the Co-W binary and for ternary alloys at

Magnetic Random Access Memory

August 5, 2016
Author(s)
Michael L. Schneider, P. G. Mather
Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) possesses a unique combination of attributes that provide considerable benefits over those available with conventional memory technology. Here we discuss the state-of-the-art of MRAM, from parts currently in production

August 3, 2016
Author(s)
Ratan K. Debnath, MD R. Hasan, Arunima Singh, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Shiqi Guo, Asha Rani, Abhishek Motayed, Nhan V. Nguyen, Albert Davydov
The need for low-cost high-performance broadband photon detection with sensitivity in the near infrared (NIR) has driven interest in new materials that combine high absorption with traditional electronic infrastructure (CMOS) compatibility. Here, we

Eu 3+ -Doped Wide Band Gap Zn 2 SnO 4 Semiconductor Nanoparticles: Structure and Luminescence

August 3, 2016
Author(s)
Mirjana NMN Dimitrievska, Tamara B. Ivetic, Alexander P. Litvinchuk, Andrew Fairbrother, Bojan B. Miljevic, Goran R. Strbac, Alejandro Perez-Rodriguez, Svetlana R. Lukic-Petrovic
Nanocrystalline Zn 2SnO 4powders doped with Eu 3+ ions were synthesized via a mechanochemical solid-state reaction method followed by post annealing in air at 1200 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Raman and photoluminescence (PL)

Reversible adsorption kinetics of near surface dimer colloids

August 2, 2016
Author(s)
Paul NMN Salipante, Steven D Hudson
We investigate the effect of shape on reversible adsorption kinetics using colloidal polystyrene dimers near a solid glass surface as a model system. The interaction between colloid and wall is tuned using electrostatic, depletion, and gravity forces to

Charge Carrier Dynamics and Mobility Determined by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy on Films of Nano-to-Micrometer-Sized Colloidal Tin(II) Monosulfide

August 1, 2016
Author(s)
Brian Alberding, Adam Biacchi, Angela R. Hight Walker, Edwin J. Heilweil
Tin(II) monosulfide (SnS) is a semiconductor material with an intermediate band gap, high absorption coefficient is the visible range, and consists of earth abundant, non-toxic elements. For these reasons, SnS has generated much interest for incorporation

Giant surface conductivity enhancement in a carbon nanotube composite by ultraviolet light exposure

July 29, 2016
Author(s)
Christian J. Long, Nathan D. Orloff, Kevin A. Twedt, Thomas F. Lam, Luis Fernando Vargas Lara, Minhua Zhao, Bharath NMN Natarajan, Keana C. Scott, Eric Marksz, Tinh Nguyen, Jack F. Douglas, Jabez J. McClelland, Edward J. Garboczi, Jan Obrzut, James A. Liddle
Carbon nanotube composites are lightweight, multifunctional materials with readily adjustable mechanical and electrical properties—relevant to the aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods industries as high-performance building materials. Here, we combine

Self-terminated Electrodeposition of Ni, Co and Fe Ultrathin Films

July 28, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas P. Moffat
Self-terminated iron group metal electrodeposition occurs at potentials negative of the onset of water reduction due to formation of a monolayer thick hydroxide layer. Quenching of metal deposition is accompanied by an increase in dissipative energy loss

Durability of Carbon Nanotube Polymer-Fiber Composites

July 25, 2016
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, James Alexander Liddle, Donald L. Hunston, Ajay Krishnamurthy
Significant composite strength improvements have been achieved using highly aligned and dense carbon nanotube fibers with low resin concentration, but these remain ac-cessible only to aerospace applications [1]. The potential of carbon nanotubes for high

Physical Realization of a Quantum Spin Liquid Based on a Complex Frustration Mechanism

July 25, 2016
Author(s)
Christian Balz, Bella Lake, Johannes Reuther, Hubertus Luetkens, Rico Schonemann, Thomas Herrmannsdorfer, Yogesh Singh, A.T.M. Nazmul Islam, Elisa M. Wheeler, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Tatiana Guidi, G. Giovanna Simeoni, Chris Baines, Hanjo Ryll
Unlike conventional magnets where the magnetic moments are partially or completely static in the ground state, in a quantum spin liquid they remain in collective motion down to the lowest temperatures. The importance of this stat is that it is coherent and

Versatile fluidic cell for in-situ electrochemical measurements in SEM

July 24, 2016
Author(s)
Jeyavel Velmurugan, Ana Stevanovic, Feng Yi, David A. LaVan, Andrei Kolmakov
Electrochemical techniques such as like electrodeposition are crucially important for fabrication of nanostructured materials. The details of cluster nucleation and growth at early stages of electrodeposition are extremely important for morphology and

Insulator-quantum Hall transition in monolayer epitaxial graphene

Author(s)
Lung-I Huang, Yanfei Yang, Randolph Elmquist, Shun-Tsung Lo, Fan-Hung H. Liu, Chi-Te Laing
We report on magneto-transport measurements on low-density, large-area monolayer epitaxial graphene devices grown on SiC. We observe temperature (T)-independent crossing points in the longitudinal resistivity (rho)sub(xx), which are signatures of the

First principles search for n-type oxide thermoelectrics

July 15, 2016
Author(s)
Kevin F. Garrity
Oxides have many potentially desirable characteristics for thermoelectric materials, including low cost and stability at high temperatures, but thus far there are few known high zT n-type oxide thermoelectrics. In this work, we use high-throughput first
