Mechanism of hydrothermal growth of ferroelectric PZT nanowires

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Jin Wang, Alexandre Durussel, Mtabazi Geofrey Sahini

The formation mechanism of hydrothermally grown monocrystalline ferroelectric PZT nanowires is investigated. It is shown that the growth proceeds via a two-step process. Particles of the centrosymmetric PX-phase grow initially, having a fibrous morphology ...

Extended Utility of Molten-Salt Chemistry: Unprecedented Synthesis of a Water-Soluble Salt-Inclusion Solid Comprised of High-Nuclearity Vanadium Oxide Clusters

Wendy Lee Queen

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are desirable in materials applications ranging from uses as catalysts in selective oxidn. reactions to mol.-like building blocks for the prepn. of new extended solids. Using an unprecedented approach involving high temp., molten sa ...

Dual [proton]/[hole] mixed valence in a molecular metal: balancing chemical activity in the solid state by tapping into a molecular hole reservoir

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi

We report on the synthesis, the layered triclinic P (1) over bar crystal structure, band structure and Fermi surface analysis and preliminary transport and ESR data of beta-(EDT-TTF-I-2)(2)((1+x)center dot+)HO2C-CH=CH-CO2--O2C-CH=CH-CO2-, a m ...

Single Crystal Growth of Constantan by Vertical Bridgman Method

This project deals with aspects involved in the growth of single-crystals of Constantan. Constantan is an alloy of Nickel in Copper, whose technological interest is that resistance is independent of temperature over a very large range of temperatures (henc ...

Interfacial Energy Anisotropy and Growth Morphologies in Aluminium-Zinc Alloys

Jonathan Friedli

This thesis presents an investigation aimed at the understanding of the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on growth morphologies in Al-Zn alloys. Most low alloyed metals form dendritic structures that grow along directions that correspond to low inde ...

Influence of anisotropy on heterogeneous nucleation

Michel Rappaz, Aurèle Mariaux

Heterogeneous nucleation is governed by the interplay of interfacial energies between a substrate, a solid and a liquid. Although the intensity of these energies can strongly change with the orientation of the nucleus for anisotropic media, this parameter ...

Kinetic modeling of the reaction and crystallization of acetylsalicylic acid using ATR UV-vis spectroscopy

Julien Léo Billeter

In industry, spectroscopy is used to monitor batch chemical reactions and to maximize production of a material for a minimum cost. However, there are many challenges involved in using spectroscopic methods to characterize reaction systems that undergo crys ...

Hydrodynamic nucleation of quantized vortex pairs in a polariton quantum fluid

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gaël Nardin, Gabriele Grosso, François Morier-Genoud, Barbara Pietka

Quantized vortices appear in quantum gases at the breakdown of superfluidity. In liquid helium and cold atomic gases, they have been indentified as the quantum counterpart of turbulence in classical fluids. In the solid state, composite light-matter bosons ...

Template-free self-assembly of hierarchical ZnO structures from nanoscale building blocks

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian, Vivek Pachauri

We study chemical bath deposition method for synthesizing large variety constructions of ZnO nanostructures. By varying reaction kinetics we control the shape, size and morphology to yield flower-like, rolling-pin-like, viscous-fingers-like and antenna-lik ...
