We present investigation of carrier transport and trapping in 4H-SiC single crystals and high-energy radiation detectors. SiC detectors were produced from bulk vanadium-compensated semi-insulating single crystal 4H-SiC and provided with nickel ohmic and titanium Schottky contacts. The prevailing defect levels were revealed by means of thermally stimulated current and thermally stimulated depola...

The features of the process chemical modification polyaminoamides based on adipic acid and diethylenetriamine with rosin-maleic adducts differing in content maleopimaric (8.55; 16.46 31.12 % wt.) are considered. Modification amount equal to number secondary amino groups repeating unit polymer was carried out melt at temperature 160–180 °C for 3 h under continuous stirring. controlled by monitor...

Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is an emerging industrially relevant technology, which allows the preparation of defined and predictable polymer self-assemblies with a wide range of morphologies. In recent years, interest has turned to photoinitiated PISA processes, which show markedly accelerated reaction kinetics and milder conditions, thereby making it an attractive alternative t...

In this research, we focused on the development of composite phase-change materials (CPCMs) by incorporation of a paraffin through vacuum impregnation in widely used building materials (Kaolin and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS)). The composite PCMs were characterized using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differenti...

Immunosensors which display high sensitivity and selectivity are of utmost importance to the biomedical field. Graphene is a material which has immense potential for the fabrication of immunosensors. For the first time, we evaluate the immunosensing capabilities of various graphene surfaces in this work. We propose a simple and label-free electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor for immunoglob...

We developed molecular models describing the thermally initiated motion of nanocars, nanosized vehicles composed of two to four spherical fullerene wheels chemically coupled to a planar chassis, on a metal surface. The simulations were aimed at reproducing qualitative features of the experimentally observed migration of nanocars over gold crystals as determined by scanning tunneling microscopy....

Three new ligands of the general formula [RNHCH(py)(2)] (py = pyridine; R = tosyl, Ts-dpm; R = dansyl, Ds-dpm; R = 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole, NBD-dpm) have been synthesized and characterized. Reactions of these ligands with cis-[Pt(DMSO)(2)Cl(2)] (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) in methanol affords [Pt(Ts-dpm)Cl(2)] (1), [Pt(Ds-dpm)Cl(2)] (2), and [Pt(NBD-dpm)Cl(2)] (3). The crystal structures of...

As minimum device dimensions continue to shrink and on-chip device densities grow, signal distortion caused by capacitive coupling and crosstalk between the interconnections will increase. The current insulator material for on-chip applications is silicon dioxide (k= 3.9 4.2). The next generations of microchips require interlayer dielectrics with dielectric constants below 2.2 [I, 21. Although ...
