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 ...
The results of structural and electrical characterizations of SrTiO3 thin films deposited onto MgO and LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique are presented. The influence of substrate and annealing procedure on the crystalline structure and ...
A microscopic characterisation of the phase transitions associated with colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in manganese perovskite oxides is a very important ingredient in the quest of understanding its underlying mechanism. Scanning tunneling microscopy (ST ...
In the framework of this thesis molecular nanostructures have been engineered on surfaces and are characterized using a variety of techniques. Two types of molecules have been used: carbon nanotubes (CNT) and 4-[trans-2-(pyrid-4-yl-vinyl)] benzoic acid (PV ...
During nanoindentation measurements of thin films the formation of cracks within the film as well as of pile-up or sink-in around the indent are known to affect significantly the precision of hardness and Young's modulus values. The crack pattern in brittl ...
Selective dissolution of titanium through a laser patterned oxide film has been achieved in a 3M sulfuric acid-methanol electrolyte. The 250 nm thick oxide film was formed anodically on a flat titanium surface in 0.5 M sulfuric acid. The patterning of the ...
We demonstrate that fluorescence of single molecules in the nanometric vicinity of a thin gold film can be effectively excited and detected through the film with an epi-illumination scanning confocal micro- scope. A full theoretical treatment of the fluore ...
We demonstrate a diffraction geometry which provides strong sensitivity to the microstructure of thin films. While a coherent beam of X-rays is being reflected from the surface of the sample, measurements were made of the scattering of the exit beam below ...
Intermetallic thin films of stoichiometric NiAl and Ni3Al have been deposited onto n-type silicon (100) and nickel (110) substrates using r.f.-magnetron co-sputtering. The morphology and crystal structure of the thin films have been studied by transmission ...
We report a novel mode of quasi-static oscillatory crack propagation when a cutting tip of moderately large width is driven through a thin brittle polymer film. Experiments show that the amplitude and wavelength of the oscillatory crack paths scale linearl ...
