AbstractThe correlation between the Cr aggregation and magnetic properties are investigated for the series of Zn1-xCrxTe films grown by MBE with a systematic variation of growth conditions. Structural and chemical analyses using TEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) reveal that the crystallinity and the Cr distribution change significantly with the substrate temperature during the MBE growth. For a relatively low average Cr content x ≅ 0.05, it is found that the crystal quality is improved with the increase of the substrate temperature. For a higher average Cr content x ≅ 0.2, the shape of Cr-rich regions is transformed from isolated clusters into one-dimensional nanocolumns with the increase of the substrate temperature. The direction of the nanocolumn formation changes depending on the crystallographic orientation of the grown films. In the magnetization measurements, anisotropic magnetic properties are observed in the films in which Cr-rich nanocolumns are formed in the vertical direction, depending on the relation between the direction of the nanocolumns and the applied magnetic fields.

In [8], Rooney defines a class of complex-valued functions ζ each of which is analytic in a vertical strip α(ζ)< Res < β(ζ) in the complex s-plane and satisfies certain growth conditions as |Im s| →∞ along fixed lines Re s = c lying within this strip. These conditions mean that the functionsfulfil the requirements of the one-dimensional Mihlin-Hörmander theorem (see [6, p. 417]) and so can be regarded as Fourier multipliers for the Banach spaces . Consequently, each function gives rise to a family of bounded operators W[ζ,σ] σ ∈(α(ζ),β(ζ)), on , 1<p<∞.

A floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method was developed for the synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) boron nitride (BN) nanostructures. By carefully tuning the experimental parameters such as growth temperature, floating catalyst concentration, and boron precursor, high quality 1D BN nanostructures including nanotubes, nanobamboos, and nanowires were selectively produced. The microstructures of the obtained 1D BN nanomaterials were characterized, and it was found that the nanostructures are composed of hexagonal BN phase with (002) planes stacking in different manners. A growth mechanism of the BN nanostructures was proposed based on the analysis of their structural characteristics and growth conditions.

This paper studies the surface of constant mean curvature on a semi-infinite strip, and shows by means of a first-order differential inequality that the solution in a given measure either becomes asymptotically unbounded at least to polynomial order, or decays at most exponentially to the solution of an associated one-dimensional problem. A proof is also presented for uniqueness in the class of functions having bounded gradient and subject to specified growth conditions for large values of the longitudinal distance. Extensions of these results to the whole strip and to more general types of equations are also described.

Porous alumina films are widely used as templates for fabricating one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures such as nanowires or nanotubes. Using a two-step anodisation process, we have successfully optimized the growth conditions for fabricating highly ordered porous alumina films with pore diameters ranging from 20 to 150 nm, to be used as templates for 1-D nanostructure synthesis. The effects of the anodisation conditions on pore structure and the formation rate of the films were systematically studied. It was found that low electrolyte temperatures and agitations decreased the growth rate of the films but favored the process of pore ordering. Removal of oxide layer formed from first anodisation process and removal of barrier oxide at pore ends had an important bearing on pore morphology. Besides the stand-alone porous alumina films, we have also fabricated porous alumina films on rod-shaped Al substrates.

Self-replication and exponential growth are ubiquitous in nature but until recently there were few examples of artificial self-replication. Often replication is a templated process where a parent produces a single offspring, doubling the population in each generation. Many species however produce more than one offspring at a time, enabling faster population growth and higher probability of species perpetuation. We have made a system of cross-shaped origami tiles that yields a number of offspring, four to eight or more, depending on the concentration of monomer units to be assembled. The parent dimer template serves as a seed to crystallize a one-dimensional crystal, a ladder. The ladder rungs are then UV–cross-linked and the offspring are then released by heating, to yield a litter of autonomous daughters. In the complement study, we also optimize the growth conditions to speed up the process and yield a 103increase in the growth rate for the single-offspring replication system. Self-replication and exponential growth of autonomous motifs is useful for fundamental studies of selection and evolution as well as for materials design, fabrication, and directed evolution. Methods that increase the growth rate, the primary evolutionary drive, not only speed up experiments but provide additional mechanisms for evolving materials toward desired functionalities.

ABSTRACTMetal-induced low temperature (≤ 550 °C) crystallization of a-Si1-xGex (0 ≤ × ≤ 1 ) layers on SiO2 films has been investigated. For low Ge fractions below 20 %, Ge-doping enhanced plane growth was observed. This realized strain-free poly-Si0.8Ge0.2 films with large grains (18 μm). On the other hand, dendrite growth was dominant for intermediate Ge fractions with 40–60 %. Directions and widths of dendrites became straight and narrow with decreasing annealing temperature. As a result, very sharp needlelike crystals (width: 0.05 μm, length: 10 μm) were obtained at the optimized growth conditions (x: 0.4, annealing: 450 °C, 20 h). These new polycrystalline SiGe films on insulators should be used for the advanced system-in-displays and novel one-dimensional wires.
