The influence of an interposed ultrathin Nb layer between Ti and Si on the silicide formation and the electrical contact between the silicide formed and the Si substrate is investigated. The presence of the Nb interlayer results in the formation of ternar
We present here a Be-10 profile from the continental sediments of Lake Baikal (the world's largest fresh water lake), which, for the first time, shows the approximate to 40 ka Be-10 enhancement and a pattern that strongly marches those from the marine and
We present weekly Be-7 (from 1972 to 1995), and weekly/seasonal Be-10 (for 1994) data in surface air from ground level stations in Sweden with a coverage of most of the northern high latitudes (56 degrees -68 degrees N). Our Be data are regionally represe
Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that rhombohedral Li3Fe2(PO4)(3), obtained by ion exchange of monoclinic Na3Fe2(PO4)(3), exhibits a paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition at T-N approximate to 27 K. Curie-Weiss-like behaviour is observ
Abrasive diamond structures have been produced with a three-step replication technique. First a mould is created using standard silicon wafer patterning technology. Diamond is then chemical vapor deposited onto the mould surface. The last step is to elect
The influence of the dipole-dipole interaction on the dynamics of monodispersive ensembles of magnetic nanoparticles have been studied by Monte Carlo simulations. An increased interaction strength drives the system from a state with only individual partic
We study the influence of surface roughness on the infrared reststrahlen band in insulating materials. We model the surface features with either truncated spherical bumps on, or truncated spherical pits in, the substrate. The polarizability of the truncat
