A magnetic material may include α″-Fe16(NxZ1-x)2 or a mixture of α″-Fe16N2 and α″-Fe16Z2, where Z includes at least one of C, B, or O, and x is a number greater than zero and less than one. In some examples, the magnetic material including α″-Fe16(NxZ1-x)2 or a mixture of α″-Fe16N2 and α″-Fe16Z2 may include a relatively high magnetic saturation, such as greater than about 219 emu/gram, greater than about 242 emu/gram, or greater than about 250 emu/gram. In addition, in some examples, the magnetic material including α″-Fe16(NxZ1-x)2 or a mixture of α″-Fe16N2 and α″-Fe16Z2 may include a relatively low coercivity. Techniques for forming the magnetic material are also described.

A solution deposition method includes: applying a liquid precursor solution to a substrate, the precursor solution including an oxide of a first metal, a hydroxide of the first metal, or a combination thereof, dissolved in an aqueous ammonia solution; evaporating the precursor solution to directly form a solid seed layer on the substrate, the seed layer including an oxide of the first metal, a hydroxide of the first metal, or a combination thereof, the seed layer being substantially free of organic compounds; and growing a bulk layer on the substrate, using the seed layer as a growth site or a nucleation site.

A method for making an epitaxial structure includes the following steps. A substrate having an epitaxial growth surface is provided. A buffer layer is formed on the epitaxial growth surface. A carbon nanotube layer is placed on the buffer layer. A first epitaxial layer is epitaxially grown on the buffer layer. The substrate and the buffer layer are removed to expose a second epitaxial growth surface. A second epitaxial layer is epitaxially grown on the second epitaxial growth surface.

摘要:
Technologies are generally provided for enhancing optical coupling between nanostructures, such as a nanowire, and an optical element, such as an optical fiber, for example in order to enable effective optical communication. A nanostructure may be automatically aligned with an optical fiber by suspending the nanowire within a fluid and causing the nanowire to align itself with a tip of the optical fiber also suspended within the fluid. Light may be directed through the optical fiber to induce an optical gradient in the fluid near the optical fiber tip. The optical gradient may attract the nanowire to the tip of the optical fiber, and may cause to align with the optical fiber. Post-alignment, the nanowire may be permanently coupled with the optical fiber to form a nanowire-optical fiber assembly to couple light between the optical fiber and a nanophotonic circuit integrated with the nanowire.

摘要:
A block copolymer, adapted to self-assemble to form an ordered pattern on a substrate, has first and second blocks with a terminal moiety covalently bonded to the end of the first block. The molecular weight of the terminal moiety is 20% or less than that of the block copolymer and the terminal moiety has a low chemical affinity for the first block. The terminal moiety can assist the accurate positional placement of the domains of the ordered array and lead to improved critical dimension uniformity and/or reduced line edge roughness. The polymer may be useful in combination with a graphoepitaxy template, where the terminal moiety is chosen to associate with a sidewall of the template. This may reduce undesired aggregation of polymer domains at a sidewall and/or assist in domain placement accuracy.
