We present the homoepitaxial growth of p-type, magnesium-doped gallium nitride shells using halide vapor phase epitaxy on n-type gallium nitride nanowires grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Scanning electron microscopy shows clear dopant

Influence of chain stiffness on thermal and mechanical properties of polymer thin films

October 25, 2011
Author(s)
Jessica M. Torres, Chengqing C. Wang, E. B. Coughlin, John P. Bishop, Richard A. Register, Robert A. Riggleman, Christopher Stafford, Bryan D. Vogt
The effect of main chain stiffness and side chain flexibility on the elastic modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of thin polymer films is investigated using non-traditional polymers formed from 5-(2-phenylethylnorbornene). Depending on the

Engineering Organometallic Femtosecond Chemistry: Photochemistry and Dynamics of Ultrafast Chelation of Cyclopentadienylmanganese Tricarbonyl Derivatives with Pendant Benzenecarbonyl and Pyridinecarbonyl Groups

October 24, 2011
