Samples suitable for electron diffraction studies must satisfy certain characteristics such as having a thickness in the range of 10 - 100 nm. We report, to our knowledge, the first successful synthesis technique of nanometer-thin sheets of…

The complex atomic structures and defects of metal-oxide surfaces are vital for a variety of applications in material science and chemistry. While scanning probe microscopy allows accessing atomic-scale structures in real space, elemental…

As titanium is a highly utilized metal for structural light-weighting, its phases, transformation pathways (transition states), and structures have scientific and industrial importance. Impurities, pressure, and temperature control the…

The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of the utmost importance for rare-event searches and thus critical to the XENONnT experiment. Results of an extensive radioassay program are reported, in which material samples have…

Four methods for determining the composition of low-level uranium- and thorium-chain surface contamination are presented. One method is the observation of Cherenkov light production in water. In two additional methods a position-sensitive…

Strontium titanate (STO) possesses promising properties for applications in thermoelectricity, catalysis, fuel cells, and more, but its performance is highly dependent on stoichiometry and impurity levels. While atom probe tomography (APT)…

The bio-inertness of titanium and its alloys attracts their use as bone implants. However a bioactive coating is usually necessary for improving the bone bonding of such implants. In this study, electrophoretic deposition(EPD) of…

Zinc-ion batteries are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, offering advantages in safety, cost, and environmental impact. However, their performance is often limited by the functioning of the zinc anode. This study employs…

This research for Eco-materials focuses on the improvement of photo response of titania thin films. The goal of this research is to find a suitable substrate for decreasing the band-gap of titania, to improve the microstructure and to seek…

The extreme sensitivity of 2D materials to defects and nanostructure requires precise imaging techniques to verify presence of desirable and absence of undesirable features in the atomic geometry. Helium-ion beams have emerged as a…

Titanium-based oxides are abundant, chemically stable, non-toxic, and highly versatile materials, with applications ranging from photovoltaics to catalysis. For rutile and anatase phases of Titanium dioxide (TiO2), the bandgap ranges from…

We investigate electron transport and phase-breaking processes in thin titanium nitride (TiN) films of epitaxial quality. Previous studies show that a minute surface magnetic disorder significantly reduces the critical temperature…

A thin coating of thorium on aluminium substrates with the areal density of 110 to 130 $\mu g/cm^2$ is developed over a circular area of 22 mm diameter by using the electrodeposition method. An electrodeposition system is fabricated to…

In this work, we have developed economic process to elaborate scalable titanium dioxide nanotube layers which show a tunable functionality. The titanium dioxide nanotube layers was prepared by electrochemical anodization of Ti foil in 0.4…

Several modes of electroweak radioactive decay require an interaction between the nucleus and bound electrons within the constituent atom. Thus, the probabilities of the respective decays are not only influenced by the structure of the…

A potential source of dominant backgrounds for many rare-event searches or screening detectors is from radon daughters, specifically $^{210}$Pb, deposited on detector surfaces, often during detector fabrication. Performing a late-stage etch…

A chemical etching method was developed for (110) and (001) NdGaO3 single crystal substrates in order to obtain an atomically flat GaO2-x - terminated surface. Depending on the surface step density the substrates were etched in…

High purity iron is obtained from vanadium-titanium magnetite (VTM) by one-step coal-based direct reduction-smelting process with coal as reductant and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) as additives. Industrial experiments show that the process of…

The binary alloy of titanium-tungsten (TiW) is an established diffusion barrier in high-power semiconductor devices, owing to its ability to suppress the diffusion of copper from the metallisation scheme into the surrounding silicon…

Domain engineering technology in lithium tantalate is a well studied approach for nonlinear optical applications. However, for several cases of interest, the realization of short period structures (< 2 \mu m) is required, which make their…
