The solid state reaction method is employed to synthesize Sn1-xInxTe samples. Power Factors of synthesized samples are estimated from resistivity and thermopower data. Modifications in structural parameters, resistivity and thermopower…
DyMn$_2$O$_5$ is an intriguing multiferroic material showing multiple magnetic, electric and structural transitions. We present here the systematic study on the effect of Sr doping at the Dy site of DyMn$_2$O$_5$ through magnetic and…
We report the successful synthesis of ZnO:Cu thin films doped with holes, resulting in room temperature ferromagnetism. Hole doping is achieved by As-diffusion from the GaAs substrate into ZnO films, assisted by thermal annealing. The…
Scaling of transistors has enabled continuous improvements in logic device performance, especially through materials engineering. However, surpassing horizontal limitations in chip manufacturing requires a vertical, third dimension.…
Polycrystalline samples of Er$_{1-x}$Ho$_x$NiSb ($x$ = 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1) were characterized by means of x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical metallography. The results proved the…
The in-plane thermal conductivity K(T) of Zn-doped YBCO single crystals (YBCO:Zn) has been investigated in the temperature range from 5 to 250 K and in magnetic fields up to 30 kOe. The thermal conductivity decreases substantially with…
We report preparation, x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and heat capacity Cp(T) measurements on the undoped samples as also samples with Zn-doped (S = 0) at Cu site, Ni doped (S = 1) at Cu site, and Ca-doped (holes) at Bi…
Recent neutron scattering measurements performed on the relaxor ferroelectric Pb[(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.92Ti0.08]O3 (PZN-8%PT) in its cubic phase at 500 K, have revealed an anomalous ridge of inelastic scattering centered ~0.2 A-1 from the zone…
For a detailed study on the semiconductor to metal transition (SMT) in ZnO thin films doped with Al in the concentration range from 0.02 to 2%, we grew these films on (0001) sapphire substrates using sequential pulsed laser deposition. It…
Dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are nonmagnetic semiconductors doped with magnetic transition metals. The recently discovered DMS material (Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$)(Zn$_{1-y}$Mn$_{y}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ offers a unique and versatile control of…
We report the low-temperature magneto-transport in the bulk-insulating single crystal of topological insulator Sn doped Bi1.1Sb0.9Te2S. The Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations appear with their reciprocal frequency proportional to cos/theta ,…
By using first-principles tight-binding electronic structure calculation and Boltzmann transport equation, we investigate the size dependence of thermoelectric properties of silicon nanowires (SiNWs). With cross section area increasing, the…
The orthorhombic monochalcogenide SnSe has attracted much attention in recent years as a promising high-temperature thermoelectric material. We present a study of its thermal conductivity and specific heat of SnSe between 2~K and 300~K and…
The best p-type skutterudites so far are didymium filled, Fe/Co substituted, Sb-based skutterudites. Substitution at the Sb-sites influences the electronic structure, deforms the Sb4-rings, enhances the scattering of phonons on electrons…
Samarium doped Na$_2$O-ZnO-TeO$_2$ (NZT) glasses were prepared by the melt quenching method. The glass-forming ability and glass stability of prepared glass was estimated by Hruby parameter using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and…
We theoretically investigate how each orbital and valley play a role for high thermoelectric performance of SnSe. In the hole-doped regime, two kinds of valence band valleys contribute to its transport properties: one is the valley near the…
A setup is designed for measuring the Seebeck coefficient (S) of materials in form of thin film, bar and wire. The main feature of this setup is control in heating and cooling cycles. In this setup heat pulse is used to generate the…
Tin monosulfide (SnS) usually exhibits p-type conduction due to the low formation enthalpy of acceptor-type defects, and as a result n-type SnS thin films have never been obtained. This study realizes n-type conduction in SnS thin films for…
