Controlling size and shape of semiconducting nanocrystals advances nanoelectronics and photonics. Quantum confined, inexpensive, solution derived metal halide perovskites offer narrow band, color-pure emitters as integral parts of…
Short nanopores find extensive applications capitalizing on their high throughput and detection resolution. Ionic behaviors through long nanopores are mainly determined by charged inner-pore walls. When pore lengths decrease to sub-200 nm,…
Electrochemical corrosion significantly reduces the durability of electrodes in water electrolyzers, adversely affecting hydrogen (H$_2$) production and cell efficiency. Current theoretical models inadequately assess corrosion behaviors in…
This paper is devoted to study the electrochemical behavior of Pt catalyst in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell at various operating conditions and at different electric potential difference (also known as voltage) cycling applied in…
We show that by capping Co nanoparticles with small amounts of Pt strong changes of the magnetic properties can be induced. The Co nanoparticles have a mean diameter of 2.7 nm. From magnetometry measurements we find that for zero and for…
A new approach is introduced to significantly improve the performance of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems by using low-dimensional thermal emitters and photovoltaic (PV) cells. By reducing the thickness of both the emitter and the PV cell,…
Low dimensional materials provide the possibility of improved thermoelectric performance due to the additional length scale degree of freedom for engineering their electronic and thermal properties. As a result of suppressed phonon…
The authors have shown that nanogranular indium tin oxide (ITO) films, deposited by spray pyrolysis on silicon substrate, demonstrate ultralow thermal conductivity ~ 0.84 +/-0.12 Wm-1K-1 at room temperature. This value is approximately by…
Spin-polarized electrical transport is investigated in $ Al_{2}O_{3}/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/Al_{2}O_{3}$ thin films for permalloy thickness between 6 and 20nm. The degree of spin-polarization of the current flowing in the plane of the film is…
Effective passivation of lithium metal surfaces, and prevention of battery-shorting lithium dendrite growth, are critical for implementing lithium-metal-anodes for batteries with increased power densities. Nanoscale surface heterogeneities…

Electro-thermal poling experiments were carried out on a bioactive glass, and the kinetics of the Na+ ion depletion layer formation under the anode was studied in-situ by means of ac impedance spectroscopy. One important finding is a linear…
Ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) materials hold immense potential for high-power RF electronics and deep ultraviolet photonics. Among these, AlGaN emerges as a promising candidate, offering a tunable bandgap from 3.4 eV (GaN) to 6.1 eV (AlN) and…
The paper presents results for zinc oxide films grown at low temperature regime by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). We discuss electrical properties of such films and show that low temperature deposition results in oxygen-rich ZnO layers in…
Mo, Pt, Pt/Mo and Pt/Ti thin films have been deposited onto Si and SiO2 substrates by RF sputtering and annealed in the YBa2Cu3O7-d growth conditions. The effect of annealing on the sheet resitance of unpatterned layers was measured. A…
A comprehensive study of pulsed nitriding in AISI H13 tool steel at low temperature (400{\deg}C) is reported for several durations. X-ray diffraction results reveal that a nitrogen enriched compound (Epsilon-Fe2-3N, iron nitride) builds up…
We report a theoretical and experimental investigation of Cr-doped AlN. Density functional calculations predict that the isolated Cr t2 defect level in AlN is 1/3 full, falls approximately at midgap, and broadens into an impurity band for…
