In clean metallic superconductors, 100% of the mobile carriers participate ill the condensate, so that the London penetration depth (which measures the electromagnetic screening by the superconductor) indicates charge densities comparable to those inferred ...
A Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire-type thermodynamic theory is used to describe equilibrium single-domain states and phase transitions in epitaxial ferroelectric thin films. For BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 films grown on cubic substrates, the paraelectric to ferroelectri ...
One of the intrinsic difficulties for in situ photoemission studies of high T-c oxide films is the surface volatility, especially the oxygen loss. In order to solve this problem, we have constructed a dedicated system for high T-c film surface studies, in ...
The structure of Cs3Bi2I9 has been refined to R = 0.0165 on the basis of X-ray diffraction measurements at T = 290 K (STOE IPDS diffractometer; MoKalpha-radiation; 296 nonequivalent reflection with I > 2 sigma(I)). The absorption correction was accounted f ...
The electrochem. behavior of some model org. compds. on boron-doped synthetic diamond thin film electrodes, obtained by HF-CVD on p-Si substrate was investigated. Only reactions involving simple electron transfer like hydroquinone/benzoquinone are active i ...
Integrated optical devices can be fabricated by the deposition of an electrode/piezoelectric/electrode multilayer thin film structure onto optical fibers, The particular structure used in this work is Au/PbTiO3/Pt/Ti, where the PbTiO3 is deposited by DC re ...
A study of the complex permittivity in bismuth titanate was conducted to reveal the nature of an anomaly in the real part of the permittivity, which occurs below the Curie temperature. This anomaly is frequency dependent and is caused by a combination of t ...
A thermodynamic theory is used to calculate the dielectric properties of epitaxial thin films grown on cubic substrates imposing biaxial tension on the film prototypic cubic state. For such "tensile" substrates, the theory shows that, in a conventional pla ...
The electrochem. oxidns. of some org. compds. have shown that only reactions involving simple electron transfer are active on diamond electrodes in the potential region of water stability. For more complex reactions, diamond electrodes show no electrocatal ...
The inertness and unique electrochem. properties of diamond present great potential for a variety of applications in aggressive environments. Preliminary results showed the widest known electrochem. window before water decompn., allowing new possibilities ...
