We present a method for the solution growth of single crystals from reactive Li and Ca melts and its application to the synthesis of several, representative compounds. Among these, single crystalline Li3N, Li2(Li{1-x}Tx)N with T = {Mn, Fe,…
We describe the crystal growth of high quality single crystals of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor, Ru7B3 by the floating zone technique, using an optical furnace equipped with xenon arc lamps. The crystals obtained are large and…
Nanocomposite films of Zinc Oxide and Silicon were grown by thermal evaporation technique using varying ratios of ZnO:Si in the starting material. Analysis reveal the role of ZnO and amorphous silicon interface in contributing to relatively…
Thin films of polycrystalline $\beta$-Mn structure CoZn have been grown on thermally oxidized Si substrates by co-sputtering from elemental targets followed by annealing. A range of films grown with variable Co deposition power and fixed Zn…
As a promising remedy for overcoming the limited ductility and work softening of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), BMG composites incorporating a B2 crystalline phase have attracted considerable attention. Here, we explore the formation of…
Cr-doped ZnO films were fabricated by a new but feasible method, that is, annealing Cr-Zn layers deposited via DC magnetron sputtering in air. Microstructures of the films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron…
The complexity and richness of phenomena governing alloy crystal growth can be unraveled by examining the three-dimensional atomic-level distribution of elements and impurities incorporated during growth. These species act as atomic…
Metastable LiMeO2-ZnO (Me = Fe3+, Ti3+) solid solutions with rock salt crystal structure have been synthesized by solid state reaction of ZnO with LiMeO2 complex oxides at 7.7 GPa and 1350-1450 K. Structure, phase composition, thermal…
Two new phases YbCu4.4 and YbCu4.25 are found as a result of careful phase diagram investigations. Between the congruent and peritectic formation of YbCu4.5 and YbCu3.5, respectively, the phases YbCu4.4 and YbCu4.25 are formed…
Self-nucleation in CdZnTe crystal growth remains a significant challenge, despite numerous attempts to achieve large-grain single crystals by restricting multi-nucleation during growth process using the traveling heater method. In this…
Single phase Mn doped (2 at %) ZnO samples have been synthesized by solid-state reaction technique. Before the final sintering at 500 C, the mixed powders have been milled for different milling periods (6, 24, 48 and 96 hours). The grain…
The growth rates and chemical ordering of ferroelectric alloys are studied with kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations using an electrostatic model with long-range Coulomb interactions, as a function of temperature, chemical composition, and…
A mathematical model to describe the growth of an arbitrarily large number of nanocrystals from solution is presented. First, the model for a single particle is developed. By non-dimensionalising the system we are able to determine the…
Full evolutionary models have been built to follow the phases of asymptotic giant branch evolution with mass loss for metal mass fractions from Z=0.0002 to Z=0.004. For the first time, we find that temperatures close to or even larger than…
A new setup for Czochralski growth of model materials in air atmosphere has been developed. It includes various in-situ measurements to access the basic physical phenomena on a macroscopic level: heat transfer, electromagnetism, melt and…
Crucial to gaining control over crystallisation in multicomponent materials or accurately modelling rheological behaviour of magma flows is to understand the mechanisms by which crystal nuclei form. The microscopic nature of such nuclei,…
For the first time Lu$_2$S$_3$ (undoped and Pr-doped) single crystals were successfully grown from melt using micro-pulling-down (mPD) technique. Customization of halide mPD apparatus allowed us to grow rod-shaped (\O 2 mm and length around…
Microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis was used to grow LiMnPO$_4$ micro- and nanocrystals from acetate precursors. By appropriate adjustment of the precursor concentration and the pH-value of the reactant, the product composition and…
The novel $Sr_5Pb_3ZnO_{12}$ oxide was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure was studied by means of the powder x-ray diffraction Rietveld method and was found to be similar to 3 other previously known…
ZnO nanostructured films were prepared by chemical bath deposition method on glass substrates without any assistance of either microwave or high pressure autoclaves. The effect of solute concentration on the pure wurtzite ZnO nanostructure…
