We have grown single crystals of Na$_x$Ca$_y$CoO$_2$ and determined their superstructures as a function of composition using neutron and x-ray diffraction. Inclusion of Ca$^{2+}$ stabilises a single superstructure across a wide range of…

Using density-functional theory in combination with a thermodynamic formalism we calculate the relative stability of various structural models of the polar O-terminated (000-1)-O surface of ZnO. Model surfaces with different concentrations…

Poly- and single-crystalline Na$_x$CoO$_2$ has been successfully intercalated with H$_2$O and D$_2$O as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. Resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements show…

We have fabricated Na_xCoO_2 thin films via lateral diffusion of sodium into Co_3O_4 (111) epitaxial films (reactive solid-phase epitaxy: Ref. 4). The environment of thermal diffusion is key to the control of the sodium content in thin…

We have performed fluorescence x-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements from 20-200 K on a 5000 \AA, c-axis film of YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} (YBCO) on MgO (Tc=89 K) using photons polarized perpendicular to the film. These data are…

We have performed quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering (QENS and INS) measurements from 300 K to 1173 K to investigate the Na-diffusion and underlying host dynamics in Na2Ti3O7. The QENS data show that the Na atoms undergo…

In this work, we investigate the representative case of the homometallic Co ludwigite Co$^{2+}_2$Co$^{3+}$O$_2$BO$_3$ ($Pbam$ space group) with four distinct Co crystallographic sites [$M1$-$M4$] surrounded by oxygen octahedra. The…

To realize a chemical diffusion experiment for simple quantitative analysis of one-dimensional diffusion profiles requires the fabrication of a planar and chemically sharp interface between two phases, one serving as the diffusion source…

Through powder x-ray diffraction we have investigated the structural behavior of SmVO3, in which orbital and magnetic degrees of freedom are believed to be closely coupled to the crystal lattice. We have found, contrary to previous reports,…

We report the synthesis of Co2FeGa/SiO2 nanoparticles by sol-gel method and characterization using x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurements. The Rietveld refinements of XRD data with space…

NaNiO$_2$ is a layered material consisting of alternating layers of NaO$_6$ and Jahn-Teller-active NiO$_6$ edge-sharing octahedra. At ambient pressure it undergoes a broad phase transition from a monoclinic to rhombohedral structure between…

The properties of Ni-doped strontium titanate are studied using X-ray diffraction and XAFS spectroscopy. It is shown that regardless of the preparation conditions, the SrTi1-xNixO3 solid solution and the NiTiO3 phase are the most stable…

Here we report the magnetic properties of the layered cobalt oxide system, LixCoO2, in the whole range of Li composition, 0 <= x <= 1. Based on dc-magnetic susceptibility data, combined with results of 59Co-NMR/NQR observations, the…

We investigate the influence of oxygen annealing on the room temperature optical and scintillation properties of CaWO$_4$ single crystals that are being produced for direct Dark Matter search experiments. The applied annealing procedure…

The sodium cobaltate family (NaxCoO2) is unique among transition metal oxides because the Co sits on a triangular lattice and its valence can be tuned over a wide range by varying the Na concentration x. Up to now detailed modeling of the…

Soda-lime-silica is a glassy system of strong industrial interest. In order to characterize its liquid state properties, we performed molecular dynamics simulations employing an aspherical ion model that includes atomic polarization and…

Iron manganese trioxide (Fe0.25Mn0.75)2O3 nanocrystals were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The 80 K Mossbauer spectrum was well-fitted using two doublets representing the 8b and 24d crystallographic sites of the (FexMn1-x)2O3 phase and…

The effect of oxygen partial pressure during the pre-calcination step (high vacuum, air, nitrogen, and oxygen) on the crystal structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of Na0.5Bi0.465Sr0.02Eu0.005TiO3 oxide-ion-conducting…

We describe the local structural properties of the iron oxychalcogenides, La$_2$O$_2$Fe$_2$O$M_2$ ($M$ = S, Se), by using pair distribution function (PDF) analysis applied to total scattering data. Our results of neutron powder diffraction…

In this study, oxygen vacancies and adatoms have been considered on the surface of both hexagonal and triangular ZnO nanowires. Their effect on the electronic structure and optical spectra of the nanowires have been investigated using the…
