Nb, Ta and Hf-The tri-dopant tournament for the enhancement of TiO2 photochromism

Reinis Ignatans

TiO2 quantum dot (QD) size nanoparticle colloids have shown tremendous photochromic response. Here we show that the of the photochromic response of TiO2 QDs can be further enhanced by doping. Our synthesis approach allows to reach high nominal doping level ...

ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023

Ferroelectric perovskite oxides are widely used in sensors, actuators and optical modulators and, at the same time, they show promise for implementation in future applications such as energy storage, memory and cooling devices. At the infancy of the discov ...

A comprehensive study of structure and properties of nanocrystalline zinc peroxide

Reinis Ignatans

Nanocrystalline zinc peroxide (nano-ZnO2) was synthesized through a hydrothermal process and comprehensively studied using several experimental techniques. Its crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the average crystallite size of 22 ...

Decoding the Mechanisms of Phase Transitions from In Situ Microscopy Observations

Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

Analysis of the temperature- and stimulus-dependent imaging data toward elucidation of the physical transformations is an ubiquitous problem in multiple fields. Here, temperature-induced phase transition in BaTiO3 is explored using the machine learning ana ...

Latent Mechanisms of Polarization Switching from In Situ Electron Microscopy Observations

Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

In situ scanning transmission electron microscopy enables observation of the domain dynamics in ferroelectric materials as a function of externally applied bias and temperature. The resultant data sets contain a wealth of information on polarization switch ...

Permanent photodoping of plasmonic gallium-ZnO nanocrystals

Reinis Ignatans

Donor dopants in oxide semiconductors are compensated not only by valuable electrons but also by other point defects, leading to a decrease in electric conductivity and infrared absorption. We demonstrate that the electron compensation mechanism in Ga dope ...

Structured nanoscale metallic glass fibres with extreme aspect ratios

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Vasiliki Tileli, Fabien Sorin, Jordan Squair, Nicholas David James, Wei Yan, Yunpeng Qu, Dang Tùng Nguyen, Güven Kurtuldu, Reinis Ignatans, Giuseppe Schiavone, Inès Richard

Micro- and nanoscale metallic glasses offer exciting opportunities for both fundamental research and applications in healthcare, micro-engineering, optics and electronics. The scientific and technological challenges associated with the fabrication and util ...

NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020

In order to study the influence of itinerant electrons on magnetic properties of transition metal substituted ZnO nanocrystals, nanopowders containing different amounts of Ga and fixed amounts of Fe, Ni and Mn ions were synthesized. The ions of different t ...
