High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of materials constructed from multiple principal elements statistically arranged on simple crystallographic lattices. Due to the large amount of disorder present, they are excellent model systems…
The pressure evolution of the local structure of Fe2O3 hematite has been determined for the first time by extended x-ray absorption fine structure up to 79 GPa. The comparison to the different high-pressure forms proposed in the literature…
We investigate the interplay of the electronic and structural transition in La$_{0.2}$Sr$_{0.8}$MnO$_{3}$. The transport and specific heat measurements exhibit unusual evolutions and signature of a first order phase transition around 265 K.…
The discovery of high temperature superconductivity in La[O1-xFx]FeAs at the beginning of this year [1] has generated much excitement and has led to the rapid discovery of similar compounds with as high as 55 K transition temperatures [2].…
We report the electronic and local structural investigation of double pervoskites Sr$_{2-x}$La$_x$CoNbO$_6$ ($x=$ 0--1) using x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structures (EXAFS) at the Nb, Co,…
The chemical bonding in the carbide core and the surface chemistry in a new group of transition-metal carbides Tin+1Cn-Tx (n=1,2) called MXenes have been investigated by surface-sensitive valence band X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.…
LaFe3/4Ni1/4O3 was subjected to oxygen near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy for 300 K < T < 773 K. The spectra show in the pre-edge a small hole doped peak originating from Ni substitution. The relative spectral…
The charge density wave transition is investigated in the bi-layer family of rare earth tritelluride RTe_3 compounds (R = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) via high resolution x-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity. The transition…
Revealing the hardening and strengthening mechanisms is crucial for facilitating the design of superhard and high-strength high-entropy ceramics (HECs). Here, we take high-entropy diborides (HEB$_2$) as the prototype to thoroughly…
In this work, we report an ab initio investigation based on density functional theory of the structural, energetic and electronic properties of 2D layered chalcogenides compounds based in the combination of the transition-metals (Ti, Zr,…
We examined the crystal structure of the new thermoelectric material LaOBiS2-xSex, whose thermoelectric performance is enhanced by Se substitution, by using powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The emergence of…
Resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) is a spectroscopy where both the power of site selective diffraction and the power of local absorption spectroscopy regarding atomic species are combined. By virtue of the dependence on the core level state…
Comparison is made of the electronic structure of the little-studied layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ with that of Na$_x$CoO$_2$, which has attracted tremendous interest since superconductivity was discovered in its hydrate.…
Realizing correlated topological semimetallic phases in bulk transition-metal oxides remains challenging due to rigid lattice symmetry, correlation-induced gap opening, and limited structural tunability. However, complex-oxide thin films…
Using fluorite oxides as an example, this study broadens high-entropy ceramics (HECs) to compositionally-complex ceramics (CCCs) or multi-principal cation ceramics (MPCCs) to include medium-entropy and/or non-equimolar compositions. Nine…
MAX phases are nanolaminated ternary materials that combine metallic and ceramic properties. Currently, the A-site elements replacement in traditional ones by later transition-metals opens a door to explore new types of MAX phases. In this…
A comprehensive study of selected properties of four (TiZrNbCu)_1-xNi_x (x \le 0.25) amorphous high entropy alloys (a-HEA) has been performed. The samples were ribbons about 20 \mum thick and their fully amorphous state was verified by…
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on the O 1s threshold was applied to Bi-based, single crystalline high temperature superconductors (HTc's), whose hole densities in the CuO2 planes was varied by different methods. XAS gives the intensity…
We use x-ray absorption spectroscopy to investigate the local structure and electronic properties of bulk La$_{1-y}$Sr$_{y}$Co$_{1-x}$Nb$_x$O$_3$ ($y=$ 2$x$ as LSCNO and $y=$ 0 as LCNO) samples. The x-ray absorption near-edge spectra…
High-entropy alloys (HEA) form through the random arrangement of five or more chemical elements on a crystalline lattice. Despite the significant amount of resulting compositional disorder, a subset of HEAs enters a superconducting state…
