Because of the rapid increase in commercially available Fourier transform infrared
spectrometers and computers over the past ten years, it has now become feasible to use IR …

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy has been utilized to characterize the
structure of porous silica gel films, both deposited on c‐Si substrates and free standing. The …

As a result of considerable progress in microfabrication technology for ultra-large scale
integration (ULSI), it has become necessary to control oxide formation on an atomic scale in …

This work assesses the potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with or without a
chitosan coating to suppress Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum) in …

The nature of the silicon oxide transition region in the vicinity of the Si/SiO 2 interface is
probed by infrared and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The layer-by-layer composition …

The optical properties of the broad absorption region due to asymmetric stretching vibration
of bridging oxygen in the amorphous structure of bulk SiO2 were studied. The complex …

The spectral line shapes and the absorption frequencies of the oxygen related infrared
active vibrational modes in amorphous SiO, are studied both experimentally and by …

Abstract Knowledge about strain at the nanometre scale is essential for tailoring the
mechanical and electronic properties of materials. Flaws, cracks and their local strain fields …

Weblike aggregates of coalesced Si nanocrystals are produced by a laser vaporization−
controlled condensation technique. SEM micrographs show particles with∼ 10 nm diameter …

An infrared reflection technique, devised to study the structure of very thin films on substrates
of high refractive index, yields an optical spectrum amplification of three orders of …
