Crystallographic phase separation and optical properties of ZnO1-xSx (x=0.1-0.3) alloy thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on c-plane sapphire substrate have been investigated with and without using ZnO buffer ...

It is thought that the proposed new family of multi-functional materials, namely, the ferroelectric thermoelectrics may exhibit enhanced functionalities due to the coupling of the thermoelectric parameters with ferroelectric ...

The addition of B, up to about 0.1 wt%, to Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) reduces its as-cast grain and colony sizes by an order of magnitude. In this paper, the creep resistance of this alloy modified with 0.06 and 0.11 wt% B additions ...

The direct liquid injection chemical vapor deposition (DLI-CVD) technique has been used for the growth of cobalt ferrite (CFO) films on (100) oriented MgAl2O4 (MAO) substrates. Smooth and highly epitaxial cobalt ferrite ...

High thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, of similar to 1.85 at 725 K along with significant cydable temperature stability was achieved in Pb-free p-type Ge1-xSbxTe samples through simultaneous enhancement in Seebeck ...

In general, crystallite size reduction is known to suppress the ferroic order (polarization or magnetization) in ferroelectric and magnetic systems. Using free particles of a giant tetragonality (c/a-1 = 0.18) ferroelectric ...

Robust, 26 nm thick free-standing platinum nanosheets, an extremely rare morphology for metal nanostructures, are obtained by employing fluid induced shearing force of the order of 1.8 N and differential shear-stress of ...

Thermoelectric "waste heat-to-electrical energy" generation is an efficient and attractive option for robust and environmentally friendly renewable energy production. Simultaneous tailoring of interdependent thermoelectric ...

It is found that the oxygen vacancy (V-O) defect concentration affecting the separation between individual species in Li-Zn-Li-i complex influences the optical emission property of Li0.06Zn0.94O epitaxial thin film grown ...

In a facile approach, Pd73Pt27 alloy nanowires (NWs) with large aspect ratios were synthesized in high yield by using sacrificial templates. Unlike majority of processes, our synthesis was carried out in aqueous solution ...
