Strontium barium niobate (SrxBa1-xNb2O6, shortly SBN) is a solid solution system with tetragonal tungsten bronze crystal structure. It exhibits a ferroelectric phase with only one polar axis and a transition temperature depending on the Sr/Ba ratio. This t ...
Strontium barium niobate thin films have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition on (111)-textured Pt films, p-doped Si(I 00) and Nb doped STO (SrTiO3) single crystals. The deposition parameters were optimized for obtaining phase pure (001)-oriented film ...
We report the in-plane (rho (ab)) and out-of-plane (rho (c)) resistivities in the 4-800 K range on single crystals of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 high-T-c cuprate with T-c = 111 K (rho (c)/rho (ab) approximate to 1000). rho (ab)(T) exhibits "usual" linear behavior and r ...
Angle-resolved photoemissions studies were conducted on single-crystal (TaSe4)(2)I samples above and below the charge-density-wave transition temperature (T-CDW) of 260 K. We observed a shift of the leading photoemission edge between 300 and 60 K consisten ...
High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements were performed on single crystals of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+delta with different oxygen stoichiometries. The data establish that the gap anisotropy (ratio of the gap along T-M to the gap along T-X) can be r ...
This thesis is concerned with the theoretical study of the physical characteristics of metallic surfaces. Ab initio quantum calculations are performed to determine the electronic properties of clean elemental metal surfaces, fully accounting for the materi ...
We find that even very low Ni doping levels of high-quality Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8 single crystals strongly affect the transition temperature T(c). We also observed that T(c) is not related to the total Ni concentration, but only to that of Ni engaged in NiO-type ...
We consider an electron-phonon system in two and three dimensions on square, hexagonal, and cubic lattices. The model is a modification of the standard Holstein model where the optical branch is appropriately curved in order to have a reflection positive H ...
Dielectric properties of single crystals of LAGaO3 have been measured at low frequencies as well as in the microwave region over a wide temperature range. Measurements performed on two crystal orientations, viz. (001) and (I 10), show dielectric anomalies ...
