Sodium niobate (NaNbO$_{3}$) is a perovskite oxide and a key component of emerging lead-free antiferroelectric capacitors for high-energy-density applications. However, its performance can be hindered by irreversible phase transitions and…

We develop a robust and versatile platform to define nanostructures at oxide interfaces via patterned top gates. Using LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ as a model system, we demonstrate controllable electrostatic confinement of electrons to nanoscale…

Concentrated colloidal suspensions of nanorods often exhibit liquid-crystalline (LC) behavior. The transition to a nematic LC phase, with long-range orientational order of the particles, is usually well captured by Onsager's theory for hard…

In this paper, we report the growth of NaxCoO2 thin films by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). It is shown that the concentration of sodium is very sensitive to the substrate temperature and the target-substrate distance due to the evaporation…

Polyhedral nanocrystals of <alpha>-Fe2O3 are successfully synthesized by annealing FeCl3 on silicon substrate at 1000 oC in the presence of H2 gas diluted with argon (Ar). Uniformly shaped polyhedral nanoparticles (diameter ~50-100 nm) are…

Lateral inhomogeneities in the formation of 2-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) directly influence their electronic properties. Understanding their origin is an important factor for fundamental interpretations, as well as high quality…

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) was used to synthesize rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) based on its reaction with the isocyanate precursor (ISO route) and also by using the conventional procedure (POL route). The results indicated that at…

Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+d (Bi-2212) thin films with thicknesses less than 50 nm (<20 unit cells) are grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) onto (001) LaAlO3 (LAO) single crystal substrates. Phase-pure and smooth c-axis oriented Bi-2212 films with…

Compact solid discharge products enable energy storage devices with high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, but solid deposits on active surfaces can disturb charge transport and induce mechanical stress. In this Letter we develop…

The biggest challenge for the commercialization of layered structured nickel rich lithium transition metal oxide cathode is the capacity and voltage fading. Resolving this problem over the years follows an incremental progress. In this…

Gold-silica hybrids are appealing in different fields of applications like catalysis, sensors, drug delivery, and biotechnology. In most cases, the morphology and distribution of the hetero-units play significant roles in their functional…

Single crystals of Na$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$ were obtained through a flux method followed by de-intercalation of sodium. The Na$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$ samples were found to be vulnerable to water in the air and a hydration process in which H$_2$O molecules…
