Octadecylphosphonic acid Langmuir-Blodgett films and their modification by hyperthermal hydrogen projectile

Dey R., The university of waterloo, CA

We report on surface modification with hyperthermal hydrogen induced cross-linking (HHIC) technology on uniform and well-ordered octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films on several surfaces, and on surface characterizations of its properties. The hyperthermal hydrogen [...]

Characterization of Catalyst Effect on Carbon Nanopearls

Pacley S., Theodore M., Air Force Research Laboratory, US

This presentation focuses on the effect of the Ni catalyst size on the structure of carbon nanopearls (or carbon spheres). Carbon nanopearls are known to have electronic properties, which make them ideal for cold cathode [...]

Cobalt doped ZnO prepared by electrochemistry: chemistry, morphology, and magnetism

Enculescu I., Matei E., Vasilache V., Teodorescu C.-M., National Institute of Materials Physics, RO

Pure and cobalt-doped ZnO films were electrodeposited from zinc and cobalt nitrate aqueous solutions on platinum substrates and investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). X-ray photoelectron [...]
