Optical and Structural Study of GaN Nanowires Grown by Catalyst-Free MBE: (II) Defect-Related Luminescence and Electron-Beam Irradiation Effects

June 1, 2007
Author(s)
Lawrence H. Robins, Kristine A. Bertness, John G. Barker, Norman A. Sanford, John B. Schlager
GaN nanowires grown by catalyst free molecular beam epitaxy were characterized by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy at temperatures from 3 K to 295 K. Both as grown samples, which contained approximately vertically oriented

The Use of Apertures to Create Discrete Combinatorial Libraries Using Pulsed Laser Deposition

May 18, 2007
Author(s)
Nabil Bassim, Peter K. Schenck, Eugene Donev, Edwin J. Heilweil, Eric J. Cockayne, Martin L. Green, Leonard Feldman
In Pulsed-Laser Deposition (PLD), there are many processing parameters that influence film properties which may be studied such as substrate-target distance, background reactive gas pressure, laser energy, substrate temperature and composition in multi

Measurement of Single Wall Nanotube Dispersion by Size Exclusion Chromatography

May 9, 2007
Author(s)
Barry J. Bauer, Matthew Becker, Vardhan Bajpai, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Erik K. Hobbie, Kalman D. Migler, Charles M. Guttman, William R. Blair
The dispersion of nanotubes in solution is necessary in order to achieve the goal of sorting and manipulating nanotubes by length and type and to then prepare high quality monodisperse samples. A necessary step is the proper characterization of the

The 2006 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting Report

April 26, 2007
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng
The 2006 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting took place in the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel, starting the weekend following the Thanksgiving Holidays from November 26 to December 1. This large-scale meeting included forty

Ferroelectric Distortion in SrTiO3 Thin Films on Si(001) by X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure: Experiment and First-Principles Calculations

April 23, 2007
Author(s)
Joseph C. Woicik, Eric L. Shirley, C S. Hellberg, S Sambasivan, Daniel A. Fischer, B D. Chapman, E A. Stern, P Ryan, D L. Ederer, H Li
Ti K and Ti L2,3 edge x-ray absorption fine-structure near-edge spectra of SrTiO3 thin films grown coherently on Si(001) reveal the presence of a ferroelectric (FE) distortion at room temperature. This unique phase is a direct consequence of the

Rapid Assessment of Dental Polymers Using Gradient Samples

April 18, 2007
Author(s)
Nancy J. Lin, Peter Drzal, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Dental composites are widely used yet still face challenges including incomplete conversion, polymerization shrinkage, and poor adhesion to tooth structures. High-throughput techniques to quickly assess several material properties in a combinatorial manner

Synthesis and Single-Crystal X-Ray Diffraction Studies of New Framework Substituted Type II Clathrates, Cs 8 Na 16 Ag x Ge 136-x (x 7)

April 13, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew Beekman, Winnie Wong-Ng, James A. Kaduk, Alexander J. Shapiro, George S. Nolas
New inorganic type II clathrates with Ag atoms substituting for framework Ge atoms, Cs8Na16AgxGe136-x (x = 0, 5.9, and 6.7), have been synthesized by reaction of the pure elements at high temperature. Structural refinements have been performed using single

A Study of the Packing Density and Molecular Orientation of Bimolecular Self-Assembled Monolayers of Aromatic and Aliphatic Organosilanes on Silica

April 12, 2007
Author(s)
M B. Smith, K Efimenko, Daniel A. Fischer, S E. Lappi, P E. Kilpatrick, Jan Genzer
Bimolecular self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of aromatic and aliphatic chlorosilanes were self-assembled onto silica and their characteristics were established by contact angle measurement, near-edge X-ray adsorption fine structure spectroscopy, and

A Uniaxial BioMEMS Device for Quantitative Force-Displacement Measurements

April 3, 2007
Author(s)
David Serrell, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Andrew Slifka, Roop L. Mahajan, Dudley Finch
There is a need for experimental techniques that allow the simultaneous imaging of cellular cystoskeletal components with quantitative force measurements on single cells. A bioMEMS device has been developed for the application of strain to a single cell
