Novel ordered intermetallic compounds have stimulated much interest. Ru-Al alloys are a prominent class of high-temperature structural materials, but the experimentally reported crystal structure of the intermetallic Ru2Al5 phase remains…

The bilayered rhodium oxide Sr3Rh2O7 was synthesized by high-pressure and high-temperature heating techniques. The single-phase polycrystalline sample of Sr3Rh2O7 was characterized by measurements of magnetic susceptibility, electrical…

Superconductivity was discovered in a Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal. A Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal was successfully grown via the NaCl/KCl flux method. The obtained lattice constant c of Ni0:05TaS2 is 1.1999 nm, which is significantly smaller…

We present scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements on a cleaved surface of the LaO0.9F0.1BiSe2 single crystals. Tunneling spectra show a finite local density of states at EF, which is consistent with metallic…

We report a $\mu$SR study in a Y$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ single crystal. We observe slow local field fluctuations at low temperature which become faster as the temperature is increased. Our analysis suggests that muon diffusion is present in this…

We present dielectric measurements of the colossal dielectric constant material CaCu3Ti4O12 extending up to 1.3 GHz also covering so far only rarely investigated single crystalline samples. Special emphasis is put on the second relaxation…

We report on the observation of self-organized stripe-like structures on the as-grown surface and in the bulk of (Nd,Eu,Gd)Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$ single crystals. The periodicity of the stripes on the surface lies between 500 and 800 nm. These…

Opals are naturally occurring photonic crystals which can be formed easily using low-cost self-assembly methods. While the optical behaviour of opals has received significant attention over the last number of decades, there is limited…

We report on the crystallographic information such as lattice parameters, atomic positions, bond lengths and angles, and local crystalline distortion size and mode of single-crystal YCrO$_3$ compound by a high-resolution synchrotron X-ray…

We investigate the crystal structure of YTiO3 at high pressures up to 30 GPa by synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction (T = 295 K). The variation of the Ti--O bond lengths with pressure evidences a distinct change in the distortion of the…

Optically active gold-catalyzed ZnTe nanowires have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy, on a ZnTe(111) buffer layer, at low temperature 350\degree under Te rich conditions, and at ultra-low density (from 1 to 5 nanowires per…

We report a density-functional theory study of the structural and electronic properties of Cd2V2O7 under high-pressure conditions. The calculations have been performed by using first-principle calculations with the CRYSTAL program. The…

This study presents a comprehensive optical analysis of titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:Sa) crystals, introducing two innovative measurement techniques to enhance the characterization of this material. The first method enables highly precise…

We present systematic measurements of the mechanical properties of few unit cell (UC) thick exfoliated crystals of a high-T$_c$ cuprate superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. We determine the elastic properties of these crystals…

A new crystal growth technique for single-crystals of REFeAsO (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb) using NaI/KI as flux is presented. Crystals with a size up to 300 $\mu$m were isolated for single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements.…

This study investigates the novelty of the crystalline and electronic structure of (Mg,Ti)-doped ZnO and the co-doped Zn1-x-yMgxTiyO structures using Gaussian and plane-wave basis sets, as implemented in the CP2K code. The goal of…

The synthesis of the photochromic YHO films is based on the oxidation of deposited yttrium hydride in ambient conditions. The actual state of the films during the deposition process, which is influenced by the deposition pressure and the…

Single crystals of ludwigite Ni2MnBO5 were synthesized by flux growth technique. The detailed structural and magnetic characterizations of the synthesized samples have been carried out. The cations composition of the studied crystal was…

Titanium dioxide is one of the most widely investigated oxides. This is due to its broad range of applications, from catalysis to photocatalysis to photovoltaics. Despite this large interest, many of its bulk properties have been sparsely…

In the present work we investigate various optical properties (such as light absorption and reflectance) of anodic TiO2 nanotubes layers directly transferred as self-standing membranes onto quartz substrates. This allows investigation in a…
