Size-Dependent Melting Properties of Small Tin Particles: Nanocalorimetric Measurements.
TL;DR: The latent heat of fusion for Sn particles formed by evaporation on inert substrate with radii ranging from 5 to 50 nm has been measured directly using a novel scanning nanocalorimeter and a particle-size-dependent reduction of $\ensuremath{\Delta}{H}_{m}$ has been observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-dependent melting point depression of nanostructures: Nanocalorimetric measurements
Matt Zhang,M. Yu. Efremov,François Schiettekatte,E. A. Olson,A. T. Kwan,S. L. Lai,T. Wisleder,Joseph E Greene,Leslie H. Allen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the melting behavior of 0.1\char21{}10-nm-thick discontinuous indium films formed by evaporation on amorphous silicon nitride is investigated by an ultrasensitive thin-film scanning calorimetry technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin-film differential scanning nanocalorimetry: heat capacity analysis
M. Yu. Efremov,E. A. Olson,Matt Zhang,S. L. Lai,François Schiettekatte,Zishu Zhang,Leslie H. Allen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electrical response of a quasi-adiabatic, thin-film nanocalorimeter system for the purpose of obtaining values of the heat capacity of ultra-thin samples is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scanning calorimeter for nanoliter-scale liquid samples
E. A. Olson,M. Yu. Efremov,A. T. Kwan,S. L. Lai,V. Petrova,François Schiettekatte,J. T. Warren,Meng Zhang,Leslie H. Allen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a scanning calorimeter was introduced for use with a single solid or liquid sample with a volume down to a few nanoliters, which was demonstrated with the melting of 52 nL of indium, using heating rates from 100 to 1000 K/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for Exciton Localization by Alloy Fluctuations in Indirect-Gap Ga As 1 − x P x
S. L. Lai,Miles V. Klein +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a new photoluminescence (PL) band in indirect $X$-point phonon sidebands and an asymmetric shape with an abrupt high-energy cutoff.
