This work reports on the detection of the valence band of buried Heusler compounds by means of hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The measurements have been performed on the so-called “half” tunnel junctions that are thin films of Co2MnSi underneath MgO. Starting from the substrate, the structure of the samples is…

The dynamics of stress-accelerated dislocations in copper is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The structure and motion of dissociated edge dislocations are analyzed using the common neighborhood parameter and local stresses. Dislocations are accelerated by high shear stresses and reach stable velocit…

The formability of metals depends on the crystallographic texture produced during thermo-mechanical processing. The crystallographic orientation of the deformed grains results from the applied deformation path. Asymmetric rolling is a new process that is expected to improve the formability of rolled aluminium sheets b…

We report a detailed magnetic, magnetocaloric, and magnetotransport study on ${R}_{2}{\text{Ni}}_{2}\text{Sn}$ compounds with different rare earths. The magnetic state of these compounds is found to be complex because of the coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic components. These compounds show phenomena…

The valence-band offset of ZnO∕MgO (111) heterojunction has been directly measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Excluding the strain effect, the valence-band offset is determined to be 0.87±0.20eV, and the conduction-band offset ΔEC is deduced to be −3.59±0.20eV, indicating that ZnO∕MgO heterojunction has a ty…

We report on the tunability, by a magnetic field, of a negative permeability metamaterial consisting of stacked arrays of broadside-coupled split ring resonators infiltrated with liquid crystals (LCs). The resonant frequency shift was numerically assessed by a rigorous anisotropic analysis of the reorientation of LC m…

The dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, and isothermal remanent magnetization measurements are carried out for antiperovskite Mn3GaN. Strong indication for a frozen state with freeing temperature of Tf at ∼133K is found, determined from the difference between field-cooled and zero-field-cooled magnetizations. The ac…

The structural relaxation (SR) process in an amorphous chalcogenide material (Ge2Sb2Te5) is studied by electrical measurements on phase-change memory devices. SR induces a change in the conduction regime from Poole to Poole–Frenkel transport, evidencing a temperature accelerated defect-annihilation process. Based on a…

The establishment of a molecular view of heterogeneous catalysis has been hampered for a number of reasons. There are, however, recent developments, which show that we are now on the way towards reaching a molecular-scale picture of the way solids work as catalysts. By a combination of new theoretical methods, detaile…
