While the columnar liquid crystalline phase in suspensions of plate-like colloids is by now well-established, little is known about the pathway leading to the formation of this highly ordered, self-assembled structure. Here, we present direct observations of the morphology and structure of micrometer-sized droplets of…

We investigate the low-temperature magneto-transport properties of monolayer epitaxial graphene films formed on the Si-face of semi-insulating 4 H−SiC substrates by a high-temperature sublimation process. A high-k top-gate on the epitaxial graphene is realized by inserting a fully oxidized nanometer-thin aluminum film…

Lead-free 0.94(K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 )–0.06(LiSbO 3 ) (KNN–LS) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction route (CSSR). For single perovskite phase formation the calcination was done at 850 °C for 6 h. Whereas for obtaining dense morphology the sintering of KNN–LS ceramics was carried out at 1060, 1080,…

We prepared a heterogeneous SiO2-B2O3-Na2O-Al2O3-CaO-La2O3 glass containing 11.76 wt.% AmO2. The composition of this heterogeneous material was determined from that of non-active glasses in which Am was fully substituted by Nd. For trivalent ion concentrations above the solubility limit, crystal formation occurred in…
