We measure the isothermal rejuvenation of stable glass films of poly(styrene) and poly(methylmethacrylate). We demonstrate that the propagation of the front responsible for the transformation to a supercooled-liquid state can serve as a…
5$\mu$m thick SmCo films were deposited onto Si substrates using triode sputtering. A study of the influence of deposition temperature (Tdep <= 600 degrees C) on the structural, magnetic and mechanical properties has shown that optimum…
We present an experimental investigation of drying suspensions of both hard and soft nanolatex spheres. The crack formation is examined as a function of the proportion of hard and soft deformable particles, leading to tunable elastic…
La$_2$NiO$_4$ is a very promising cathode material for intermediate and low temperature solid oxide cell applications, due to its good electronic and ionic conductivity, together with its high oxygen exchange activity with a low activation…
We report optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra of Au, Fe, Co and Ni polycrystalline nanofilms in the UV-Vis-NIR range, featuring discrete bands resulting from transverse quantum confinement. The film thickness ranged from 1.1 to…
A 1D mechanical model for nanogranular films, based on a structural interface, is here presented. The analytical dispersion relation for the frequency and lifetimes of the acoustics breathing modes is obtained in terms of the interface…
We use surface acoustic waves of 1 and 3 GHz in hybrid piezoelectric-magnetic systems with either cobalt or nickel as a magnetic layer to generate magnetoacoustic waves and directly image them using stroboscopic X-ray magnetic circular…
We present a comprehensive study of the thickness dependence of static and magneto-dynamic magnetic properties of La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$. Epitaxial pulsed laser deposited La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ / SrTiO$_3$(001) thin films in the…
The discovery of superconductivity in bulk Ruddlesden-Popper La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$(LNO327) under high hydrostatic pressure has redefined the recent experimental consensus that nickelate superconductivity is restricted to systems with a $3d^9$…
We present a first-principles study of electronic and magnetic properties of thin Co films on a BaTiO$_3$(001) single crystal. The crystalline structure of 1, 2, and 3 monolayer thick Co films was determined and served as input for…
Linear dielectric thermodynamics are formally developed to explore the isothermal and adiabatic temperature - pressure dependence of dielectric constants. The refractive index of optical materials is widely measured in the literature: it is…
Exploiting the emerging nanoscale periodicities in epitaxial, single-crystal thin films is an exciting direction in quantum materials science: confinement and periodic distortions induce novel properties. The structural motifs of interest…
Pb-free ferroelectric thin films are gaining attention due to their applicability in memory, sensor, actuator, and microelectromechanical system. In this work, Na$_{0.4}$K$_{0.1}$Bi$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$ (NKBT0.1) ferroelectric thin films were…
We have measured the heat conduction between 0.05 K and 1.0 K of high purity silicon wafers carrying on their polished faces a variety of thin dielectric films and polycrystalline thin metallic films. Using a Monte Carlo simulation to…
Thin films of silicon oxide (SiOx) are mixtures of semiconductive c-Si nanoclusters (NC) embedded in an insulating g-SiO2 matrix. Tour et al. have shown that a trenched thin film geometry enables the NC to form semiconductive filamentary…
Growth monitoring during the early stages of film formation is of prime importance to understand the growth process, the microstructure and thus the overall layer properties. In this work, we demonstrate that phonons can be used as…
High entropy oxides (HEOs) are a class of materials, containing equimolar portions of five or more transition metal and/or rare-earth elements. We report here about the layer-by-layer growth of HEO…
Dielectric capacitors are widely used in pulsed power electronic devices due to their ultrahigh power densities and extremely fast charge/discharge speed. To achieve enhanced energy storage density, both maximum polarization (Pmax) and…
The build up of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) was observed by a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based thin film resistor. Differently charged polyelectrolytes adsorbing to the sensor surface result in defined potential shifts, which…
The unambiguous and universal determination of optical constants such as complex refractive indices (n, k) and thickness (d) in one measurement is typically confined for films with a thickness of more than 10~nm that hampers its application…
