Magnetic γ-Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 20 nm and size distribution of 7% were chemically synthesized and spin-coated on top of a Si-substrate. As a result, the particles self-assembled into a monolayer with hexagonal close-packed order. Subsequently, the nanoparticle array was coated with a Co layer of 20 nm thickness. The magnetic properties of this composite nanoparticle/t...

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 070401 (2006)] the transition rate of magnetic spin-flip of a neutral two-level atom trapped in the vicinity of a thick superconducting body was studied. In the present paper we will extend these considerations to a situation with an atom at various distances from a dielectric film. Rates for the corresponding electric dipole-flip transition will also be ...

We have fabricated a thin film of multilayered MnO2 whose interlayer is occupied with hexadecylpyridinium (HDPy) cations, using a simple anodic approach. The resulting film can effectively sorb iodide anions from aqueous solutions, even in the presence of NaCl or Na2SO4. The maximum sorption capacity was estimated to be 256 mg/g-MnO2, whereas a layered MnO2 film intercalated with K(+) ions show...

Article history: Received 26 June 2016 Accepted 6 July 2016 Available online xxxx Degradation mechanism of foldable thin film transistors (TFTs) is investigated experimentally by electrical, mechanical and electrical–mechanical hybrid stress experiments. Mechanical and electrical stress environment was set for foldable TFTs and the degradation effect according to the applied stress is investiga...

If a tangle, K ⊂ B, has no planar, meridional, essential surfaces in its exterior then thin position for K has no thin levels.

A conducting polymer-based composite material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) doped with different percentages of a room temperature ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIM][BF₄]), was prepared and a very small amount of the composite (2.0 µL) was drop-coated on the working area of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPC...
