The decoupled layer quasi-two-dimensional glass phase of c-axis vortices in optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (BSCCO) exhibits low-temperature metastability, the onset temperature of which is coincident with the peak in depinning current for zero-field-c ...
We introduce a minimal model describing the physics of classical two-dimensional (2D) frustrated Heisenberg systems, where spins order in a nonplanar way at T=0. This model, consisting of coupled trihedra (or Ising-RP3 model), encompasses Ising (chiral) de ...
The integration of ferroelectrics in electronic devices requires that they be used in the form of thin films, which implies that for such systems finite-size effects related to the presence of a ferroelectric-electrode interface become important. In this t ...
The goal of the present study was to assess the possibility to change the composition of a calcium phosphate scaffold from a high-temperature phase to a phase only stable at or close to room temperature without macrostructural changes. For that purpose, ma ...
We introduce a novel microscopy method of probing the spatial frequencies of a two dimensional sample with a single point detector allowing for sub- micron resolution with low NA lenses as well as for lateral phase resolution in the nanometer range. We syn ...
Flash memories based on nanoparticles (NPs) offer an attractive alternative for performance enhancement and size downscaling of non-volatile memory cells. In these devices, Coulomb blockade and quantized charging effects can be exploited at room temperatur ...
The thermal decomposition of three synthetic copper sulfides (chalcocite (Cu2S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), and enargite (Cu3AsS4)) and two commercial copper concentrates has been studied on a thermobalance (T = 1173-1773 K) and an imaging furnace (T approxima ...
Pressure-induced successive phase transitions of micro-, submicro-, and nanocrystalline NaNbO3 particles were investigated by high-pressure Raman spectroscopy. Microcrystalline NaNbO3, which stabilizes in an orthorhombic Pbcm structure at ambient pressure, ...
We use femtosecond x-ray diffraction to probe directly the structural dynamics of a charge ordered and orbitally ordered thin film of La0.42Ca0.58MnO3 initiated by an ultrafast optical pulse. At low excitation fluences we observe the displacive excitation ...
Isothermal mechanical spectroscopy by means of a forced torsion pendulum (measuring internal friction/mechanical loss) was used to study the interplay of long-range atomic order and stress-induced diffusion (Zener relaxation) in Au57%Cu43%. Our results sho ...
