We apply ultrafast x-ray diffraction with femtosecond temporal resolution to monitor the lattice dynamics in a thin film of multiferroic BiFeO3 after above-band-gap photoexcitation. The sound-velocity limited evolution of the observed lattice strains indicates a quasi-instantaneous photoinduced stress which decays on a nanosecond time scale. This stress exhibits an inhomogeneous spatial profile evidenced by the broadening of the Bragg peak. These new data require substantial modification of existing models of photogenerated stresses in BiFeO3: the relevant excited charge carriers must remain localized to be consistent with the data.

Many current thermal protection systems employ polymer resins as an ablative material. Foamed polymer nanocomposites usually exhibit improved thermal properties compared to the solid counterparts. This study evaluates the ablative performance of foamed polyetherimide (PEI)- Clay-Kraton (PCK) nanocomposites for thermal protection applications. PEI was compounded with nanoclay to improve the flame retardant property and Kraton to mitigate the loss of ductility. The PCK nanocomposite samples were foamed using a batch solid-state foaming process under variable saturation and foaming conditions. The ablative performance of the samples was analyzed based on a standard burn test with respect to the material composition and foaming condition. The results show that graded PCK composite foams can be obtained using the solid state foaming process. The porous structure can be controlled by adjusting the process conditions, including saturation time and pressure. It is further shown that the ablative performance of the nanocomposite foam can be optimized among clay loading, Kraton loading, and porosity of the foams.

We study a group IV element: tin (Sn) by integrating it into silicon lattice, to enhance the performance of silicon CMOS. We have evaluated the electrical properties of the SiSn lattice by performing simulations using First-principle studies, followed by experimental device fabrication and characterization. We fabricated high-κ/metal gate based Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) using SiSn as channel material to study the impact of Sn integration into silicon.

We report on the substantial improvement of the electronic characteristics of field-effect transistors (FETs) based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene, reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) by an interacting capping layer of appropriate amorphous or polycrystalline fluoropolymers. All the key 2-dimensional device properties are improved including mobilities, on-off current ratio, electron-hole transport symmetry, Dirac voltage, and reduced residual carrier density.

Energy barriers of the key annealing reactions of neutral and charged point defects in SiC are calculated with ab initio density functional theory methods. In order to effectively search for the lowest energy migration paths the preliminary path is first established based on ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The energy barrier of each hop is then calculated via climbing image nudged elastic band methods for paths guided by the AIMD simulations. The final paths and barriers are determined by comparing different pathways. The annealing reactions have important implications in understanding the amorphization, recovery, and other aspects of the radiation response of SiC. The results are compared with the literature data and experimental results on SiC recovery and amorphization. We propose that the C interstitial and Si antisite annealing reaction may provide a critical barrier that governs both the recovery stage III and amorphization processes.
