–We investigate spin-dependent interband tunnelling in a ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As/ GaAs Zener diode. The ferromagnetic pn-junction is fabricated with a Mn-doped p-type GaAs layer on top of a nonmagnetic n-type GaAs substrate. When both sides of the junction are heavily doped, a large magnetic-field–dependent tunnelling effect can be seen at low temperatures in the measured current-voltage (I-V )...

A method for methanol detection by an inexpensive device using a nanomaterial modified N-methylpolypyrrole (NMPPY) has been developed. Manganese-doped zinc sulfide quantum dots (Mn/ZnS-QDs) were synthesized and then characterized fluorescence spectrophotometer to study their spectroscopic properties. Mn/ZnS-QDs with NMPPy studied digital-image colorimetry optimize conditions detection. 2 mL of ...

We present inelastic neutron scattering results on [email protected]#O3.94 for temperatures T between 4 K and 295 K. We find that this compound is a charge-disordered material, in which both Mn-Mn and Mn-Mn nonlinear chains are formed once the electrons have become localized. Unlike the case for the parent material LiMn2O4, we find that the Jahn-Teller active Mn 31 ions in the Li-doped system are...

We present first-principles density-functional calculations for the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of substitutional 3d transition metal (TM) impurities in two-dimensional black and blue phosphorenes. We find that the magnetic properties of such substitutional impurities can be understood in terms of a simple model based on the Hund's rule. The TM-doped black phosphorenes with ...

A new room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) mercury ions sensor has been developed based on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (CTAB/Mn-ZnS QDs) and label-free thymine (T)-rich aptamer. The formed T-Hg(2+)-T dsDNA can linearly quench the RTP of Mn-ZnS QDs through electron transfer and aggregation effect, and give a detection limit of 1.5 nM.

We report the synthesis of colloidal Mn(2+)-doped ZnO (Mn(2+):ZnO) quantum dots and the preparation of room-temperature ferromagnetic nanocrystalline thin films. Mn(2+):ZnO nanocrystals were prepared by a hydrolysis and condensation reaction in DMSO under atmospheric conditions. Synthesis was monitored by electronic absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Zn(OAc)(2)...

The mechanisms of metal resistance of a cadmium-resistant Alcaligenes sp. were studied. Growth in a defined medium was unaffected by cadmium at concentrations up to 0.1 mM, while at concentrations up to 2.5 mM, growth occurred after an extended lag phase. The increase in length of the lag phase was abolished by repeated subculturing at these higher concentrations. However, subculture in the abs...

In this report, ferromagnetic interactions in modulation-doped GaMnN nanorods grown on Si (111) substrate by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy are investigated with the prospect of achieving a room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductor. Our results indicate the thickness of GaN layer in each GaN/MnN pair, as well as Mn-doping levels, are essential for suppressing secondary phases as well...
