Crystalline Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) films were implanted with boron (B$^+$) and phosphorous (P$^+$) ions. Different samples, prepared by varying the ion dose in the range $10^{14}$ to 5 x $10^{15}$ and ion energy in the range 150-350 keV,…

Atomic layer deposition was used to synthesize niobium silicide (NbSi) films with a 1:1 stoichiometry, using NbF5 and Si2H6 as precursors. The growth mechanism at 200oC was examined by in-situ quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and…

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy E(anis) of free-standing monolayers and thin films of Fe and Ni is determined using two different semi-empirical schemes. Within a tight-binding calculation for the 3d bands alone, we analyze in…

Interface enhanced superconductivity at two dimensional limit has become one of most intriguing research directions in condensed matter physics. Here, we report the superconducting properties of ultra-thin FeSe films with the thickness of…

The Fe$_3$O$_4$/Si films are considered to be promising materials for THz spintronic applications due to their high temperature magnetic transition and semiconducting properties. In this article, we present the real part of the dielectric…

We have measured the electronic heat capacity of thin film nanowires of copper and silver at temperatures 0.1 - 0.3 K; the films were deposited by standard electron-beam evaporation. The specific heat of the Ag films of sub-100 nm thickness…

In the past decade, semiconducting carbon nanotube thin films have been recognized as contending materials for wide-ranging applications in electronics, energy, and sensing. In particular, improvements in large-area flexible electronics…

The thickness-dependent energy gap oscillations in the metallic nanofilms are investigated by the use of the self-consistent numerical solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is shown, that the oscillations are induced by the…

Elemental good metals, including noble metals (Cu, Ag, Au) and several $s$-block elements, do not exhibit superconductivity in bulk at ambient pressure, mainly due to weak electron-phonon coupling that cannot overcome Coulomb repulsion.…

The electronic properties of as-prepared and purified unoriented single-walled carbon nanotube films were studied by transmission measurements over a broad frequency range (far-infrared up to visible) as a function of temperature (15 K -…

The dielectric properties of noncrystalline hafnium silicon oxynitride (HfSiON) films with a variety of atomic compositions were investigated. The films were deposited by reactive sputtering of Hf and Si in an O, N, and Ar mixture ambient.…
