Radial oscillations of local density of states in carbon nanotubes
(2001)By performing an analytical study of the electronic structure of metallic carbon nanotubes, we show that the local density of states exhibits well-defined oscillations as a function of the nanotube radius. The periods ... -
Radiation-pressure-induced mode splitting in a spherical microcavity
(2007)In this work, we present a novel method to reveal azimuthal whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in a spherical microcavity coated with a nano-meter thick polyelectrolyte shell and one monolayer of CdTe semiconductor quantum ... -
Radio interferometric studies of cool evolved stellar winds

Radioactivity from building materials in the Republic of Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2006)This thesis presents the findings of a study undertaken to determine the radioactivity present in building materials in the Republic of Ireland. A total of 70 samples of commonly used building materials was collected from ... -
Raman scattering and Anti-Stokes emission from a single spherical microcavity with a CdTe quantum dot monolayer
(American Institute of Physics, 2003)We have studied the Raman and luminescence spectra of a microcavity?quantum dot system consisting of a melamine formaldehyde latex microsphere coated by CdTe colloidal quantum dots. The cavity-induced enhancement of the ... -
Raman spectra of p-type transparent semiconducting Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>:Mg
(2015)Abstract We present an analysis of the Raman spectra of p-type transparent conducting Cr2O3:Mg grown by various techniques including spray pyrolysis, pulsed laser deposition, molecular beam epitaxy and reactive magnetron ... -
Raman spectroscopy and conductivity measurements on polymer-multiwalled carbon nanotubes composites
(2002)Thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate)?multiwalled nanotubes composites were produced by spin coating using different nanotube concentrations. The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive ... -
Raman spectroscopy of ferromagnetic CrO2
(American Physical Society, 1999)Polarized Raman spectra of the ferromagnetic metal CrO2 were measured in a broad temperature range including Tc'390 K. The Raman-allowed modes of A1g , B1g , B2g , and Eg symmetry were identified and compared to the ... -
Raman study of phonon modes in bismuth pyrochlores
(2010)The Raman spectra of the cubic bismuth pyrochlores Bi3/2Zn0.92Nb3/2O6.92, Bi3/2ZnTa3/2O7, Bi3/2MgNb3/2O7, and Bi3/2MgTa3/2O7 have been measured at room temperature. The frequencies of the Raman modes, obtained from ... -
Rapid and Reliable Calibration of Laser Beam Deflection System for Microcantilever-Based Sensor Setups
(2012)Cantilever array-based sensor devices widely utilise the laser-based optical deflection method for measuring static cantilever deflections mostly with home-built devices with individual geometries. In contrast to scanning ... -
Rare-earth-free noncollinear metallic ferrimagnets Mn4-xZxN with compensation at room temperature
(2022)Compensated ferrimagnets show no net magnetization like antiferromagnets, but their transport and magneto-optic properties resemble those of ferromagnets, thereby creating opportunities for applications in high-frequency ... -
The rate performance of 2D material based battery electrodes may not be as good as is commonly believed
(2020)Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great potential for use in battery electrodes and are believed to be particularly promising for high-rate applications. However, there does not seem to be much hard evidence for the ... -

Reactive Plasma N-Doping of Amorphous Carbon Electrodes: Decoupling Disorder and Chemical Effects on Capacitive and Electrocatalytic Performance
(2020)Nitrogen-free amorphous carbon thin films prepared via sputtering followed by graphitization, were used as precursor materials for the creation of N-doped carbon electrodes with varying degrees of amorphization. Incorporation ... -
Reactivity of transition-metal alloys to oxygen and sulfur
(2021)Oxidation and tarnishing are the two most common initial steps in the corrosive process of metals at ambient conditions. These are always initiated with O and S binding to a metallic surface, so that one can use the ... -
Realization of Zero-Field Skyrmions in a Magnetic Tunnel Junction
(2023)Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected noncollinear spin textures, which are regarded as promising information carriers for next-generation spintronic devices due to their small size and the low current density ... -
RealTime Mass Sensing by Nanomechanical Resonatorsin Fluid
(2004)We have developed a sensitive method for real-time mass sensing in a fluid using a microfabricated array of nanomechanical cantilevers actuated at their resonance frequencies. The sensor platform consists of a streptavidin ... -
Rearrangement and elimination of ordered surface layers of crystalline bubble structures due to gas diffusion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)We describe a hitherto unknown self-organising effect in wet crystalline bubble structures exposed to air. Due to the escape of gas from the bubbles in the top surface layer, bubbles shrink and create space for the bubbles ... -

Red giant mass-loss : studying evolved stellar winds with FUSE and HST / STIS
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2006)The changes that a star undergoes during the dying process are the most dramatic of its lifetime. These changes result in the most important interactions between a star and its environment, indeed it is in this area of ...
