Abstract:
A semiconductor material structure includes at least one region capable of generating electrons and holes each having an associated mean kinetic energy during operation. A material layer in proximity to the region provides an associated potential energy larger than the mean kinetic energy associated with the generated electrons and the mean kinetic energy associated with the holes.

Abstract:
A method for modifying a surface of a powder is provided. The method includes steps of providing a polar aprotic solvent; and mixing the polar aprotic solvent with the powder so that the polar aprotic solvent adheres to the surface of the powder.
Abstract:
This invention refers to surface modification/functionalization of Nitride nanomaterials and electrochemistry and optical measurement based upon such functionalized Nitride materials. With this invention a variety of bio-molecules such as DNA, protein, and antigens can be immobilized on the surface for measurement to realize ultra-sensitive chemical- and bio-sensing applications.
Abstract:
Doped tungsten powder, or sintered tungsten bodies formed therefrom, having a fine dispersion of oxide particles of at least one metal from the group zirconium, hafnium, lanthanum, yttrium, and rare earth's are formed by the method of this invention. A mixture of a salt solution comprised of a soluble salt of the metal, and a tungsten blue oxide powder is formed. A hydroxide precipitating solution is admixed with the mixture to form a hydroxide precipitate of the metal on the tungsten blue oxide powder. The tungsten blue oxide powder and hydroxide precipitate are heated in a reducing atmosphere to form the tungsten powder having the dispersion of oxide particles. The doped tungsten powder can be consolidated and sintered to form tungsten bodies having a fine dispersion of the metal oxide.

Abstract:
The invention provides metal-containing corrin compounds as catalysts for oxygen reduction in electrochemical devices, such as in fuel cells. The catalysts provide more efficient reduction at lower cost than conventional noble metal catalyst. Methods for preparing the catalysts are also provided.
Abstract:
Nanotip arrays are formed by exposing a substrate to a process gas mixture that simultaneously forms nanomasks on the substrate surface and etches exposed portions of the substrate surface to form the nanotip array. Components of the process gas mixture form nanocrystallites on the surface of the substrate, thereby masking portions of the substrate from other components of the process gas mixture, which etch exposed portions of the substrate. Accordingly, nanotip arrays formed using this technique can have nanocrytallite endpoints.
