Chapter
All Carbon Nanotubes Are Not Created Equal
This chapter presents the various factors that enter into consideration when choosing the source of carbon nanotubes for a specific application. Carbon nanotubes are giant molecules made of pure carbon. They h...

Effect of Sulfur Surface Structure on Nucleation of Oxide Seed Layers on Textured Metals for Coated Conductor Applications
We present a study of the {100}<100> biaxially textured Ni (001) surface and oxide seed layer nucleation by in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. Our observations re...

Amorphous Diamond Films Deposited by Pulsed-Laser Ablation: The Optimum Carbon-Ion Kinetic Energy and Effects of Laser Wavelength
A systematic study has been made of changes in the bonding and optical properties of hydrogen-free tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films, as a function of the kinetic energy of the incident carbon ions mea...

Effect of Ambient Gas Pressure on Pulsed Laser Ablation Plume Dynamics and ZnTe Film Growth
Epitaxial thin films of nitrogen-doped p-ZnTe were grown on single-crystal, semi-insulating GaAs substrates via pulsed laser ablation of a stoichiometric ZnTe target. Both low pressure nitrogen ambients and hi...

REAL-TIME in situ MONITORING OF DEFECT EVOLUTION AT WIDEGAP II-VI/GaAs HETEROINTERFACES DURING EPITAXIAL GROWTH
We report the real-time in situ observation of heterointerface dislocation formation during the growth of lattice-mismatched widegap II-VI/GaAs heterostructures. Such observations were made by employing a near-no...
