X-ray Diffraction and Density Functional Theory Studies of R2FeCoO6 (R=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd)

December 6, 2016
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Guangyao Liu, Igor Levin, Izaak Williamson, P Ackerman, Kevin R. Talley, Khawla AlHamdan, James A. Kaduk, Lan Li
The structure and thermoelectric properties of a series of lanthanide iron cobalt oxides, R2FeCoO6 (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd), have been investigated. The space group of these compounds was confirmed to be orthorhombic Pnma (No.62), Z=4. From Gd to Pr

Comparison of CBED and ABF Atomic Imaging for GaN Polarity Determination

November 8, 2016
Author(s)
Alexana Roshko, Matthew D. Brubaker, Paul T. Blanchard, Kristine A. Bertness, Todd E. Harvey, Igor Levin, R.H. Geiss
A comparison of two electron microscopy techniques used to determine the polarity of GaN nanowires is presented. The techniques are convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) in TEM mode and annular bright field (ABF) imaging in aberration corrected STEM

Stochastic behavior of nanoscale dielectric wall buckling

March 16, 2016
Author(s)
Lawrence H. Friedman, Igor Levin, Robert F. Cook
The random buckling patterns of nanoscale dielectric walls are analyzed using a nonlinear multi-scale stochastic method that combines experimental measurements with simulations. The dielectric walls, approximately 200 nm tall and 20 nm wide, consist of

Nanoscale buckling of ultrathin low-k dielectric lines during hard-mask patterning

May 7, 2015
Author(s)
Gheorghe Stan, Cristian V. Ciobanu, Igor Levin, Mark van Veenhuizen, Alan Myers, Kanwal Singh, Christopher Jezewski, Barbara Miner, Sean King
Commonly known in macroscale mechanics, buckling phenomena are now frequently also encountered in the nanoscale world as reveled in today's cutting-edge fabrication of microelectronics. The description of nanoscale buckling requires precise dimensional and

Reference Diffraction Patterns, Microstructure, and Pore Size Distribution for the Copper (II) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate Metal Organic Framework (Cu-BTC) Compounds

March 1, 2015
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, James A. Kaduk, Daniel W. Siderius, Andrew J. Allen, Laura Espinal, Brad Boyerinas, Igor Levin, Matthew Suchomel, Jan Ilavsky, Eric J. Cockayne, Hui Wu
Cu-paddle-wheel-based Cu3(BTC)2 (nicknamed Cu-BTC, where BTC ≡ benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylate) is a metal organic framework (MOF) compound that adopts a zeolite topology. We have determined the pore size distribution using the Gelb and Gubbins technique, the

Electron and Hole Photoemission Detection for Band Offset Determination of Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor Heterojunctions

November 24, 2014
Author(s)
Wei Li, Qin Zhang, R. Bijesh, Oleg A. Kirillov, Yiran Liang, Igor Levin, Lianmao Peng, Xuelei Liang, S. Datta, David J. Gundlach, Nhan V. Nguyen
The electrical performance of a tunnel field-effect transistor depends critically on the band offset at their semiconductor heterojunction interface. Historically, it has been difficult to experimentally determine how the electronic bands align at the

Structures and thermoelectric properties of double-filled (CaxCe1-x)Fe4Sb12 skutterudites

July 9, 2014
Author(s)
Yonggao Y. Yan, Winnie Wong-Ng, James A. Kaduk, Matthew Suchomel, Xiang Sun, Gangjian Tan, Xinfeng Tang, Lan (. Li, Igor Levin
The structures and thermoelectric properties of double-filled (CaxCe1-x)Fe4Sb12 series (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) have been investigated using the combination of experimental and computational approaches. Structural analysis shows that single phases of

Solution-based functionalization of gallium nitride nanowires for protein sensor development

April 17, 2014
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Elissa H. Williams, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Kristen L. Steffens, Igor Levin, Nancy J. Lin, Kristine A. Bertness, Amy Manocchi, M V. Rao, John A. Schreifels
A solution-based functionalization method for the specific and selective attachment of the streptavidin (SA) protein to gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires (NWs) is presented. By exploiting streptavidin's strong affinity for its ligand biotin, SA
