Epitaxial CaMnO3 films grown with 2.3% tensile strain on (001)-oriented LaAlO3 substrates are found to be incipiently ferroelectric below 25 K. Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) was used for the detection of the incipient…
While lean Mg-Zn-Ca alloys are promising materials for temporary implants, questions remain on the impact of Zn and Ca. In this context, the precipitation in Mg-1.5Zn-0.25Ca (ZX20, in wt.%) was investigated upon linear heating from about…
Isothermal ageing of plastically deformed Mg-Zn-Y alloys resulted in precipitation along {10-12} twin boundaries. The bulky precipitates formed had structures similar to those recently reported for the rod-like \beta' precipitates, but…
Crystalline phase transitions in two-dimensional materials enable precise control over electronic and ferroic properties, making them attractive materials for memory and energy storage applications. In$_2$Se$_3$ is particularly promising…
The sputter deposition of alternating layers of Ni(V) and Al forms a reactive multilayer known to undergo self-propagating formation reactions when ignited. The sequential deposition process leads to nm-scale premixing of reactants at each…
The crystal structure of CO2 filled pure SiO2 LTA zeolite has been studied at high pressures and temperatures using synchrotron based x ray powder diffraction. Its structure consists of 13 CO2 guest molecules, 12 of them accommodated in the…
Sequential deprotonation of the Cr3+ hexahydrate in an alkaline environment up to the stage of a charge-neutral active hydroxide was studied via density functional theory. The deprotonation could be characterized as autocatalytic since upon…
Differential thermal analysis has been conducted for the Al-Cu-Co alloys with the composition range of 15 at.% Co and 10 to 30 at.% Cu, and 25 at.% Co and 2.5 to 20 at.% Co. The features of the formation of solid phases have been studied…
High quality MgB2 thin films have been obtained by pulsed laser deposition both on MgO and on Al2O3 substrates using different methods. In the standard two-step procedure, an amorphous precursor layer is deposited at room temperature…
Relative abundances of refractory elements in planets are commonly assumed to reflect those of their host stars. However, because elements are classified according to their behaviour in the solar nebula, this implicitly assumes condensation…
We studied metallic Ag formation inside and on the surface of Ag2S thin films, induced by the electric field created with a STM tip. Two clear regimes were observed: cluster formation on the surface at low bias voltages, and full…
Chromium(III) oxide is a classical collinear antiferromagnet with a linear magnetoelectric effect. We are presenting the measurements of the magnetoelectric susceptibility $\alpha$ of a sputter-deposited 500-nm film and a bulk…
Mn$_2$VAl Heusler alloy films were epitaxially grown on MgO(100) single crystal substrates by means of ultra-high-vacuum magnetron sputtering. A2 and L2$_1$ type Mn$_2$VAl order was controlled by the deposition temperatures. A2-type…
In this work, we characterized gadolinium oxide films deposited on silicon by high pressure sputtering with a two-step process: first, we sputtered metallic gadolinium in an argon atmosphere and then, we performed an in-situ plasma…
1.8 micrometer-thick magnesium hydride films were synthesized in a single-step process by reactive plasma-assisted sputtering. The MgH2 thin films, which were deposited on two types of flexible surfaces (namely graphite and polyimide foils)…
The stability, structure and properties of carbonate minerals at lower mantle conditions has significant impact on our understanding of the global carbon cycle and the composition of the interior of the Earth. In recent years, there has…
Single crystals of a new silver and-cobalt based vanadate AgCo2V3O10 were grown from a melted mixture. The crystal structure determination reveals that this new vanadate crystallizes in triclinic system with space group P-1. The structure…
In$_2$O$_3$-based catalysts have shown high activity and selectivity for CO$_2$ hydrogenation to methanol, however the origin of the high performance of In$_2$O$_3$ is still unclear. To elucidate the initial steps of CO$_2$ hydrogenation…
We report results from X-ray scattering studies of the angular structure factor of liquid crystal hexatic-B films. According to the sixfold rotational symmetry of the hexatic-B phase, its characteristic scattering splits into six…
The present work is essentially focused on the study of optical and structural properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films (a-Si:H) prepared by radio-frequency cathodic sputtering. We examine separately the influence of hydrogen…
