We fabricated NiFe2O thin films on MgAl2O4 (001) substrates by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering in a pure oxygen atmosphere at different substrate temperatures. The film properties were investigated by various techniques with a focus on…
Replacing U for Ca in semiconducting CaB$_6$ at the few at.% level induces metallic behaviour and Kondo-type phenomena at low temperatures, a rather unusual feature for U impurities in metallic hosts. For Ca$_{0.992}$U$_{0.008}$B$_6$, the…
