Highly epitaxial LaBaCo(2)O(5.5+δ) thin films were grown on the vicinal (001) SrTiO(3) substrates with miscut angles of 0.5°, 3.0°, and 5.0° to systemically study strain effect on its physical properties. The electronic transport properties and magnetic behaviors of these films are strongly dependent on the miscut ang…

Abstract A significant conduction band offset appearing in n‐ZnO/p‐Si heterojunction solar cells is recognized as a serious roadblock to obtain high efficiency solar cells. By alloying with Mg, the conduction band in Zn 1– x Mg x O can be raised above that of Si, so that the influence of recombination centers at the i…
