The crystallinity of as-deposited PZT films and the structure of PZT/GaN interface were evaluated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), respectively. Mitigated by geometric epitaxy and strain energy minimization, the orientation relationships of PZT on epi-GaN, determined using x-ray pole figure and selected area diffraction pattern, were as follows: out-of-plane alignment of [111] PZT//[0001] GaN, and orthogonal in-plane alignments of [112] PZT//[1100] GaN (zone axes) and [110] PZT//[1120] GaN. The nanochemistry of the PZT (150nm)/GaN interface, studied using analytical TEM, indicated a chemically sharp interface with interdiffusion limited to a region below 5 nm. The properties of as-deposited PZT on GaN by MOCVD are briefly c...

Results from high resolution TEM, EDS and EELS are also included. The thin films revealed a complex microstructure with dispersed nanocrystalline PbO second phase, embedded porosity, local chemical inhomogeneities, and residual organics.

Nanoparticles, in particular layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles, have great potential as nanocarriers of chemotherapeutic molecules. In this study, we synthesized (Zn, Al)-LDH nanoparticles and report their enhanced pH-dependent stability in comparison to the commonly used (Mg, Al)-LDH nanoparticles. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and valproate (VP) were intercalated into (Zn, Al)-LDH nanoparticles to study cellular uptake, biocompatibility, and drug delivery capabilities using cultured pancreatic adenocarcinoma BxPC3 cells. Fluorescence measurements indicated that FITC-intercalated LDH nanoparticles showed a greater degree of energy-dependent uptake rather than passive uptake by BxPC3 cells, especially at high concentrations of nanoparticles. Tetrazolium-based colorimetric assays indicated th...

X-ray diffraction and in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction routinely ascertained the epitaxial quality of the (100)-oriented nanocrystalline films. The broadband microwave (1–40 GHz) dielectric properties were measured using coplanar waveguide transmission line test structures. The out-of-plane relative permittivity (ε⏊/) exhibited strong substrate-dependent dielectric (relaxation) dispersions with their attendant peaks in loss tangent (tanδ), with the former dropping sharply from tens of thousands to ~1000 by 10 GHz. Although homogeneous in-plane strain (ϵǁ), enhances ε⏊/ with εMgOBST−0.5⏊/>εSTOBST−0.5⏊/>εLAOBST−0.5⏊/ at lower frequencies, two crossover points at 8.6 GHz and 18 GHz eventually change the trend to: εSTOBST−0.5⏊/>εLAOBST−0.5⏊/...

Gels formed from acid-catalyzed solutions were clear and rubbery, whereas base-catalyzed gels were translucent or cloudy with phase separation. Direct TEM observations determined that acid-catalyzed gels were fibrous in character and physically homogeneous, whereas base-catalyzed gels had a coarse texture. Analyses by EDX and SAD indicated that acidic gels were chemically homogeneous and microcrystalline, whereas basic gels were heterogeneous and amorphous.

Nanoparticles (NPs) based on Ag core and LDH shell, with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag for hyperthermia and drug intercalation capability in LDH shell, hold promise in Nanomedicine. Herein, for the first time, noble metal, Ag, (core)/(Mg2+, Al3+)-LDH (shell) NPs were synthesized. Morphology, composition and SPR of obtained core/shell NPs were fully characterized. Core/shell NPs of 45 nm Ag NP core with various LDH shell thickness from 10 to 15 nm were obtained. For the 45 nm Ag NP core, the wavelength for transverse SPR absorption was 395 nm, which red-shifted up to 430 nm at a LDH shell thickness of 15 nm. Parallelly, the synthesis and characterization of the Ag nanorod are also reported. Exhibition of longitudinal SPR absorption in the targeted near infrared range make it a more appropriate core.

The randomly oriented grains were of the crystalline perovskite phase, with minor amounts of amorphous or nanocrystalline phase in the intergranular regions. The microstructure of the PBZ films was markedly influenced by substrate annealing and RTA temperature. At 10 kHz, the low-field dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of a 66 nm PBZ film were measured to be 932 and 0.03, respectively, giving a C/A of 12.5 µF/cm2.
