Excellent ultrasonic absorption ability of carbon-nanotube-reinforced bulk metallic glass composites
Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 bulk metallic glass composites (BMGCs) containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are found to have a strong ultrasonic wave absorption ability. Ultrasonic attenuation coefficients o...

We investigate the strongly temperature-dependent radiative lifetime of electron–hole excitations in colloidal CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots over nearly three orders of magnitude in temperature (300 K to 380 mK). These studies reveal an intrinsic, radiative upper limit of ~1 µs for the storage of excitons below 2 K. At higher temperatures, exciton lifetimes are consistent with thermal activation from the dark-exciton ground state, but with two different activation thresholds. ©2003 American Institute of Physics.
