Metal peroxides, with a labile peroxy bond, constitute a distinct class of inorganic compounds that can generate singlet oxygen species and works as versatile reagents in many important industrial processes such as in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nanoscale optical band gap variations in epitaxial thin films of two different spinel ferrites, i. e., NiFe2O4 (NFO) and CoFe2O4 (CFO), have been investigated by spatially resolved high resolution electron energy loss ...

In this article, we report on the Co atom incorporation, secondary phase formation and composition dependent magnetic and optical properties of mixed valence Co(II, III)(x)Zn1-xO epitaxial thin films grown by pulsed laser ...

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 ...

We report here the growth of epitaxial Co metal thin film on c-plane sapphire by pulsed laser deposition (RD) using Co:ZnO target utilizing the composition inhomogeneity of the corresponding plasma. Two distinct plasma ...

We report on the observation of stable p-type conductivity in B and N co-doped epitaxial ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition. Films grown at higher oxygen partial pressure (similar to 10(-1) Torr) shows p-type ...

Layer specific direct measurement of optical band gaps of two important van der Waals compounds, MoS2 and ReS2, is performed at nanoscale by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. For monolayer MoS2, the twin ...

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 ...
