Thin films of a nominal Fe2CrSi alloy have been deposited by magnetron co-sputtering with various heat treatments on MgO and MgAl2O4 substrates. After heat treatment, the films were found to decompose into a nearly epitaxial Fe3Si film with…
Synthesizing half-metallic fully-compensated ferrimagnets that form in the inverse Heusler phase could lead to superior spintronic devices. These materials would have high spin polarization at room temperature with very little fringing…
The Heusler compound Co2MnGa is a topological semimetal with intriguing electronic and magnetic properties, making it a promising candidate for spintronic applications. This study systematically investigates the effects of substrate…
Recently, theorists have predicted many materials with a low magnetic moment and large spin-polarization for spintronic applications. These compounds are predicted to form in the inverse Heusler structure, however, many of these compounds…
La-based perovskites are a versatile class of materials that are of interest for solid oxide fuel cells and electrocatalytic water splitting. During fabrication of composition spread materials libraries of La-Co-based oxide systems for the…
Chromium based inverse Heusler compounds of the type Cr2YZ (Y=Co, Fe; Z=Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn) have been proposed as fully compensated half-metallic ferrimagnets. Such materials are of large interest for spintronics because they combine…
The ferrimagnetic Heusler compound Mn2VGa is predicted to have a pseudogap in the majority spin channel, which should lead to a negative tunnel magnetoresistance. We synthesized epitaxial Mn2VGa thin films on MgO(001) substrates by dc and…
Ga2O3 thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a liquid gallium target. The influence of deposition temperature, substrate type, and discharge parameters on the structural and electrical properties was systematically…
Co10Ge3O16 crystallizes in an intergrowth structure featuring alternating layers of spinel and rock salt. Variable-temperature powder synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction, magnetometry, and heat capacity experiments reveal a…
We studied the crystal and magnetic structure of Ca2RuO4 by different diffraction techniques under high pressure. The observed first order phase transition at moderate pressure (0.5 GPa) between the insulating phase and the metallic high…
Highly oriented VO2 thin films were grown on sapphire substrates by the sol-gel method that includes a low pressure annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. This reduction process effectively promotes the formation of the VO2 phase over a…
We report the detailed analysis of temperature dependent neutron diffraction pattern of the Cr$_2$CoAl inverse Heusler alloy and unveil the magnetic structure up to the phase transition as well as its fully compensated ferrimagnetic nature.…
The precipitation microstructure of the \gamma' (AlAg2) intermetallic phase has been examined in aluminium-silver-copper alloys. The microstructure developed in an Al-0.90at.%Ag-0.90at.%Cu alloy was significantly different from that…
We have characterized Co$_2$MnGa (CMG) Heusler alloy films grown on Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ (YIG) and Gd$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$ (GGG) substrates at different deposition temperatures and investigated thermo-spin and magneto-thermoelectric conversion…

Understanding of recently reported putative close-to-room-temperature superconductivity in C-S-H compounds at 267 GPa demands reproducible synthesis protocol as well as knowledge of its structure and composition. We synthesized C-S-H…
Al2O3 thin films have been deposited at substrate temperatures between 500{\deg}C to 600{\deg}C by reactive magnetron sputtering using an additional arbitrary substrate bias to tailor the energy distribution of the incident ions. The films…
We investigated structural, magnetic and electrical properties of sputter deposited Mn-Fe-Ga compounds. The crystallinity of the Mn-Fe-Ga thin films was confirmed using x-ray diffraction. X-ray reflection and atomic force microscopy…
In order to obtain Ni-Mn-Ga epitaxial films crystallized in martensite structures showing Magnetic-Induced Rearrangement (MIR) of martensite variants, a fine control of the composition is required. Here we present how the co-sputtering…
Coatings of (Al1-xVx)2O3, with x ranging from 0 to 1, were deposited by pulsed DC reactive sputter deposition on Si(100) at a temperature of 550 {\deg}C. XRD showed three different crystal structures depending on V-metal fraction in the…
