High?Temperature Annealing and Patterned AlN/Sapphire Interfaces

Tailoring Oxide/Silicon Carbide Interfaces: NO Annealing and Beyond

Computational design of patterned interfaces using reduced order models

Patterning is a familiar approach for imparting novel functionalities to free surfaces. We extend the patterning paradigm to interfaces between crystalline solids. Many interfaces have non-uniform internal structures comprised of misfit dislocations, which in turn govern interface properties. We develop and validate a computational strategy for designing interfaces with controlled misfit disloc...

Hightemperature hardness of Ga1x In x As

Synthesis and Characterization of HighTemperature Stable Nanocomposite Catalysts

Unusually active and sinter-resistant nanocomposite materials were synthesized by combining the high reactivity of nanosized noble metal particles with the excellent hightemperature stability of hexa-aluminates through a simple one-step microemulsion-templated sol-gel synthesis. The novel nanocomposite catalysts were characterized by TEM, XRD, DTA and BET measurements after calcination at tempe...

High performance and stable N-channel organic field-effect transistors by patterned solvent-vapor annealing.

We report the fabrication of high-performance, printed, n-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on an N,N-dialkyl-substituted-(1,7&1,6)-dicyanoperylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) derivative, PDI-RCN2, optimized by the solvent-vapor annealing (SVA) process. We performed a systematic study on the influence of solubility and the chemical structure of a solvent used for the SVA pr...
