Hybrid organic-inorganic spin-on-glass CuCl films for optoelectronic applications
(2009)
Cuprous halides are among the most studied inorganic materials for excitonic related linear/non-linear optical processes due to their large excitonic binding energies (~190 and 108 meV for CuCl and CuBr, respectively). In ...
The free-electron response in reflectance anisotropy spectra
(2006)
Reflectance anisotropy spectra (RAS), extended into the near infrared spectral region, of anisotropic metal islands, metal surfaces, and atomic nanowires are analyzed with respect to anisotropies in the optical response ...
Quantitative comparison of ultracentrifuged and diluted single walled nanotube
(2009)
We have carried out a quantitative comparison of the dispersion quality for ultracentrifuged and diluted surfactant-stabilised single walled nanotube dispersions. We have characterised these dispersions at a set concentration ...
Resonant Soft X-Ray Inelastic Scattering and Soft X-Ray Emission Study of the Electronic Structure of alpha-MoO3
(2009)
The electronic structure of quasi-low-dimensional solids is a topic of enduring interest due to the complex
many-body interactions that exist in such materials and their resulting exotic physical properties. A well ...
Inverted magnetoresistance in dual spin valve structures with a synthetic antiferromagnetic free layer
(2009)
We report an oscillation of the giant magnetoresistance GMR ratio as a function of Ru layer
thickness in the CoFe/Cu/ CoFe/Ru/CoFe SAF/Cu/CoFe/IrMn dual spin valve SV structure. A
normal GMR with a positive sign is ...
Emergence of local magnetic moments in doped graphene-related materials
(2009)
Motivated by recent studies reporting the formation of localized magnetic moments in doped graphene, we
investigate the energetic cost for spin polarizing isolated impurities embedded in this material. When a wellknown
criterion ...
Self-assembled Fe nanodots on Ge (001)
(2006)
The initial nucleation of Fe onto the (2x1) reconstructed Ge(001) surface is studied. Uniformly sized two-dimensional Fe dots are shown to nucleate. They have an apparent corrugation height similar to 1.1 A and lateral ...
Experimental Investigation of Polarization Effects in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers and Implications for All-Optical Switching
(2008)
A free-space contra-propagation configuration is
implemented and pump-probe studies are undertaken in order
to study polarization-dependent gain dynamics in bulk semiconductor
optical amplifiers (SOAs) and their application ...
Carbon nanotubes and nanotube composites for nonlinear optical devices
(2009)
Carbon nanotubes possess not only outstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal properties but also unique nonlinear optical properties. In this Feature Article, we review the recent developments of the carbon nanotube ...
Internalization of ferromagnetic nanowires by different living cells
(2006)
The ability of living cells, either adherent or suspended, to internalize nickel nanowires is demonstrated for MC3T3-E1, UMR106-tumour and Marrow-Stromal cells. Nanowires were produced by electrodeposition, 20 mum long and ...
