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…
Gallium (Ga) displays several metastable phases. Superconductivity is strongly enhanced in the metastable $\mathrm{\beta}$-Ga with a critical temperature $T_\mathrm{c}= 6.04(5)\,\mathrm{K}$, while stable $\mathrm{\alpha}$-Ga has a much…
A secondary $\beta$-relaxation process is often the dominant source of atomic dynamics below $T_\mathrm{g}$ in many glass forming systems. Recent studies reported the presence of $\beta$-relaxations in amorphous phase-change materials…
Sol-gel deposited (010) textured polycrystalline thin films of gallium ferrite (GaFeO3 or GFO) on n-Si(100) and Pt/Si(111) substrates are characterized for room temperature multiferroism. Structural characterization using X-ray diffraction…
Gadolinium molybdate is a classical example of an improper ferroelectric and ferroelastic material. It is established that the spontaneous polarization arises as a secondary effect, induced by a structural instability in the paraelectric…
The application of amorphous chalcogenide alloys as data-storage media relies on their ability to undergo an extremely fast (10-100 ns) crystallisation once heated at sufficiently high temperature. However, the peculiar features that make…
The results of differential-thermal analysis of various samples as well as dielectric measurements of solid solutions $TlIn_{1-x}Fe_x^{56,57}S_2$ are presented. It has been established that phase transitions become blurred and shift to low…
Coordination-related, two-dimensional (2D) structural phase transitions are a fascinating and novel facet of two-dimensional materials with structural degeneracies. Nevertheless, a unified theoretical account of these transitions remains…
Since the initial synthesis of van der Waals two-dimensional indium selenide was first documented in 1957, five distinct polymorphs and their corresponding polytypes have been identified. In this study, we report a unique phase of indium…
Silicon telluride (Si2Te3) is a two-dimensional semiconductor with unique structural properties due to the size contrast between Si and Te atoms. A recent experiment shows that the material turns metallic under hydrostatic pressure, while…
Inversion symmetry breaking is critical for many quantum effects and fundamental for spin-orbit torque, which is crucial for next-generation spintronics. Recently, a novel type of gigantic intrinsic spin-orbit torque has been established in…
Recently, $\beta$-Te (atomically 2D tellurium) with rectangular crystal structure has been synthesized successfully on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrates by using molecular beam epitaxy. It has been found possessing remarkable…
Controlled chemical transformation of nanostructures is a promising technique to obtain precisely designed novel materials which are difficult to synthesize otherwise. We report high-temperature vapor phase anion exchange reactions to…
We used low-temperature synchrotron x-ray diffraction to investigate the structural phase transitions of Fe1+yTe in the vicinity of a tricitical point in the phase diagram. Detailed analysis of the powder diffraction patterns and…
This study investigates the transport properties of a chiral elemental semiconductor tellurium (Te) under magnetic fields and pressure. Application of hydrostatic pressure reduces the resistivity of Te, while its temperature dependence…
Single crystals of XPt$_{5}$P (X = Al, Ga, and In) were grown from a Pt-P solution at high temperatures, and ambient-pressure measurements of temperature-dependent magnetization, resistivity, and X-ray diffraction were made. Also, the…
Due to its multiferroic properties and narrow optical bandgap, Bismuth ferrite has been widely explored for spintronics, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis applications. Bismuth ferrite can be synthesized in various forms like bulk, thin…
Cross-control of a material property - manipulation of a physical quantity (e.g., magnetisation) by a nonconjugate field (e.g., electrical field) - is a challenge in fundamental science and also important for technological device…
Substitutions of the zirconium and tin ions along with the indium-niobium and iron-niobium complexes for titanium in the barium modified NBT solid solutions impact the formation of phases in the process of the solid state synthesis and the…
The GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (LNGS) searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay (0{\nu}{\beta}{\beta}) of $^{76}$Ge. Germanium detectors made of material with an enriched $^{76}$Ge…
