This research investigates the structural, topological, electrical and optical properties of pulsed laser deposited polycrystalline BiFeO3 thin films on silicon and glass substrate at varying deposition temperatures ranging from 400 degC to…
We present results on the fabrication of chemiresistive nanocomposite NiO:Pd hydrogen sensors, which are able to detect hydrogen concentrations as low as 300 ppb in air, operating at temperatures in the 115-145 C range. Thin NiO films were…
The search for thin film electro-optic (EO) materials that can retain superior performance under cryogenic conditions has become critical for quantum computing. Barium titanate thin films show large linear EO coefficients in the tetragonal…
We reanalyze the seminal work by Dolan and Osheroff [Phys. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{43}$, 721 (1979)] which reported anomalous low-temperature conduction of high-resistivity thin-film metal strips. We argue that the observed logarithmic increase…
We derive expressions for the lowest nonlinear elastic constants of amorphous solids in athermal conditions (up to third order), in terms of the interaction potential between the constituent particles. The effect of these constants cannot…
Most paints contain pigments that absorb light and fade over time. A robust alternative can be found in nature, where structural coloration arises from the interference of light with submicron features. Plant-derived, cellulose nanocrystals…
This study systematically investigates the microstructural evolution of nanoparticle-based CuO, WO$_3$, and composite 'CuO-WO$_3$' thin films induced by their post-deposition annealing. The films were reactively deposited using a…
Knowledge of the state of plastic deformation in metallic structures is vital to prevent failure. This is why non-destructive acoustic tests based on the measurement of first order elastic constants have been developed and intensively used.…
The near threshold "soft breakdown" measurements of PVC films conductivity are investigated. In a wide range of external electric field strength for various rather thick (>20 mkm) PVC films the resistance shows strong nonlinearity and seems…
The results of fabrication and characterization of atomic structure of nanocrystalline thin layers of Y2O3 in cubic and monoclinic phases is reported. Experimental data demonstrate crystalline ordering in nanocrystalline films with average…
This work reports an acoustic filter at 23.5 GHz with a low insertion loss (IL) of 2.38 dB and a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 18.2%, significantly surpassing the state-of-the-art. The device leverages electrically coupled acoustic…
The low temperature properties of glass are distinct from those of crystals due to the presence of poorly understood low-energy excitations. The tunneling model proposes that these are atoms tunneling between nearby equilibria, forming…
The material properties selection for designing acoustic filters with optimal performance over a range of frequencies requires considerable effort to fabricate and test laboratory samples. To simplify this procedure, one may test a single…
Using mm-wave transmission we obtain information about both the real and imaginary part of the dielectric function of superconducting thin films. This is done by fitting the Fabry-Perot resonance spectrum for the film plus substrate over a…
Ruthenium dioxide (RuO$_2$) thin films were synthesized by Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) on silicon substrates using only water and acetic acid as solvents. The microstructure, phase-purity, electrical and optical properties as well as…
We propose a numerical tool to mimic the pulsed deposition of nanoparticles, a technique used to fabricate thin films from the deposition of nanoparticles upon a substrate. We employ such tool under different initial conditions, in…
The temperature dependence of optical constants of titanium nitride thin film is investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry between 1.4 to 5 eV in the temperature range 300 K to 650 K in steps of 50 K. The real and imaginary parts of the…
We propose a theoretical study for Si thin film thickness measurement that is based on incident low energy electron beam on the film and counting the transmitted/incident electron fraction. It estimates the thin film thickness distribution…
Electrons levitating above the surface of solid neon have recently emerged as a promising platform for high-quality qubits. The morphology and uniformity of the neon growth in these systems is crucial for qubit performance in a scalable…
