A very large thermoelectric figure of merit ZT = 6 at 380 K has recently been reported in Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al under thin-film form (Hinterleitner et al., Nature 576 (2019) 85). Under this form, Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al…

Amorphous Si (a-Si) nanostructures are ubiquitous in numerous electronic and optoelectronic devices. Amorphous materials are considered to possess the lower limit to the thermal conductivity (k), which is ~1 W/m-K for a-Si. However, recent…

Disorder in any form is considered to be highly detrimental to the experimental exploration of novel phenomena in quantum materials with non-trivial band topology. Contrary to established belief, clear topological features are reliably…

We conducted a comprehensive study on the compositional dependence of the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in amorphous (amo.) Tb-Fe-Co thin films. The anomalous Nernst coefficient strongly depends not only on the Tb composition but also on…

The Fe$_3$O$_4$/Si films are considered to be promising materials for THz spintronic applications due to their high temperature magnetic transition and semiconducting properties. In this article, we present the real part of the dielectric…

Alternating layers of granular Iron (Fe) and Titanium dioxide (TiO$_{2-\delta}$) were deposited on (100) Lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO$_3$) substrates in low oxygen chamber pressure using a controlled pulsed laser ablation deposition…

Superconducting properties of thin films can be vastly different from those of bulk materials. Seminal work has shown the critical temperature Tc of elemental superconductors decreases with decreasing film thickness when the normal-state…

This paper presents high-temperature ferroelectric characterization of 40~nm Al$_{1-x-y}$B$_x$Sc$_y$N (AlBScN) thin film capacitors grown by co-sputtering Al$_{0.89}$B$_{0.11}$ and Sc targets onto Pt(111)/Ti(002)/Si(100) substrates.…

We systematically investigated the physical properties of amorphous Mo$_{\rm x}$Si$_{1-x}$ films deposited by the magnetron co-sputtering technique. The critical temperature $T_C$ of Mo$_{\rm x}$ Si$_{1-x}$ films increases gradually with…

Large-volume deployment of Si-based Seebeck generators can be foreseen only if polycrystalline rather than single crystalline materials can be actually used. The aim of this study was therefore to verify whether polycrystalline Si films…

Antiferromagnetic spin motion at terahertz (THz) frequencies attracts growing interests for fast spintronics, however their smaller responses to external field inhibit device application. Recently the noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn$_3$Sn,…

Results of X-band microwave surface impedance measurements of FeSe1-xTex very thin film are reported. The effective surface resistance shows appearance of peak at T less and near Tc when plotted as function of temperature. The authors…

High quality single crystal Fe3O4 thin films with (111) orientation had been prepared on amorphous SiO2 substrate by pulsed laser deposition. The magnetization properties of the films are found to be highly unconventional. The Verwey…

This paper presents progress towards the large-scale manufacturability of piezo- and ferroelectric Al$_{1-x}$Sc$_x$N thin films with very high Sc content. Al$_{0.6}$Sc$_{0.4}$N layers were deposited by reactive sputtering from a 300 mm…

The thermodynamic properties of the superconducting state in the amorphous ${\rm Sn_{1-x}Cu_{x}}$ thin films have been characterized. The concentration of copper changes in the range from $0.08$ to $0.41$. The calculations have been…

Aluminosilicate (Al-Si-O) thin films containing up to 31 at. % Al and 23 at. % Si were prepared by reactive RF magnetron co-sputtering. Mechanical and structural properties were measured by indentation and specular reflectance infrared…

Thermoelectricity in telluride materials is often improved by replacing telluride with selenium in its crystal. Most work, however, focuses on bulk crystal and leaves the 2D thin films intact. In this paper, we optimize the fabrication of…

We investigate the structure and magneto-transport properties of thin films of the Co_2Cr_xFe_(1-x)Al full-Heusler compound, which is predicted to be a half-metal by first-principles theoretical calculations. Thin films are deposited by…

An environmentally stable mesoscopic thin film of Au of certain thickness has been deposited thermally on top of a Ag+ implanted oxide substrate to develop a close to room temperature superconductor. This thin film has been deposited in two…

Ferrimagnetic TbFe or TbFeCo amorphous alloy thin films have been grown by co-evaporation in ultra-high vacuum. They exhibit an out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy up to their Curie temperature with a nucleation and propagation reversal…
