Magneto-Transport Results in Alq3 Based OSVs
2015
The achievement of good magnetoresistance signal at room temperature is an important requirement for the possible future development of organic devices for applications. However, until now only few works reported room temperature MR effect in organic spin valves (OSVs). In this regard, this chapter is dedicated to the investigation of Alq3-based OSVs where Alq3 molecule was chosen since it is a standard material in the field. A systematic study on Co/Alq3/Co OSVs will be presented showing room temperature MR results. Moreover, inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) technique will be used to prove spin injection into the organic layer. Finally, an insulating oxide barrier (Al2O3 or…
Magnetic moment investigations of epitaxial magnetite thin films
2008
In this report, we provide an x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) study for 100nm thick epitaxial magnetite (Fe3O4) films on MgO (001) and Al2O3 (0001) substrates. For XMCD, we recorded the surface sensitive total electron yield and the bulk sensitive transmission spectra. From the analysis of the XMCD data, we find an increased Fe spin moment (10% larger) at the surface of the film on MgO (100) with respect to the corresponding bulk value of the film. Surface and bulk spin moments of the film on Al2O3(0001) are almost equal. For both films, the bulk orbital to spin moments ratio increases from zero at 70K to 0.03–0.04 at 300K. For Fe3O4∕MgO (001), the surface orbital to spin moment ra…
Influence of long chain branching on the elongational behaviour of different polyethylenes and their blends
1986
Elongational data on a series of polyethylenes with different structure and on their blends are presented in order to correlate the extensional behaviour with the long chain branching degree.
Recycling of heterogeneous plastics wastes. II—The role of modifier agents
1993
Abstract Recycling of mixed plastics waste, mainly composed of PEs, PET and PVC has been carried out by blending with recycled polyethylene. Although the extrusion of these blends has been carried out at high temperatures, the degradation of the PVC was modest due to the short residence times. The mechanical properties of these secondary materials, up to about 30% of mixed plastics waste, are very similar to those of the recycled polyethylene, except for the elongation to break. By adding some modifier agents, the elongation at break and especially the impact strength can be further improved.

Effects of VTE Treatment on Composition of Lithium Tantalate Single Crystals
2011
The vapour transport equilibration (VTE) is used to change the Li/Ta ratio in lithium tantalate single crystals of different crystallographic orientations (Z-cut and Y/128°-cut). Treatment by VTE is shown to provide thin layers in lithium tantalate plates composition of which is close to stoichiometric while the values of the coercive field are different, much smaller compared with congruent single crystals. There are several mechanisms of diffusion of the Li+ ions in LiTaO3 under conditions of VTE the contribution of each being dependent on the crystallographic orientation of the sample.
The Effects of Admixtures on Resistance to Radiation of Lithium Niobate Crystals
2015
The studies of optical absorption and transmission of crystalline lithium niobate compounds modified by rare-earth and alkali-earth elements: LiNbO3: Y (0.46 wt %), LiNbO3: Y (0.32 wt %), Mg (0.24 wt %), LiNbO3: Mg (0.27 wt %), LiNbO3: Gd (0.004, 0.04, 0.26, and 0.43 wt %), and ostensibly pure LiNbO3 is reported. The features of absorption and transmission are examined with respect to the dosage of γ-irradiation, the annealing temperature, and the type and concentration of modifying admixtures. The features revealed in different ways of bleaching γ-irradiated and annealed in vacuum ostensibly pure lithium niobate crystals are used to refine the mechanisms of developing electron and point de…
