We investigate the effect of strain-induced intrinsic exchange bias field (HEB) on the magnetization rotation process in a nominally “single” layered La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) film. The intrinsic exchange bias appears when the LSMO film is grown on LaAlO3 substrate. The HEB is proved to be an effective approach to tuning…

Nanoclusters of d10 metal ions, including silver, gold, and copper ions anchored in the zeolite host, have been prepared and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including luminescence, Raman, and FT-EXAFS, along with theoretical calculations. Analyses indicate the formation of metal ion oligomers. Th…

Novel spinel heteroepitaxial structures composed of ferrimagnetic spinel CoFe2O4 (CFO) and ultrathin γ-Al2O3 buffer layers are integrated on Si(111). Flat (111)-oriented epitaxial CFO films with only two in-plane domains induced by γ-Al2O3 are ferromagnetic at room temperature with high saturation magnetization. These…

While silicon nanostructures are extensively used in electronics, the indirect bandgap of silicon poses challenges for optoelectronic applications like photovoltaics and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Here, we show that size-dependent pseudo-direct bandgap transitions in silicon nanocrystals dominate the interactions b…

The persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect in nanotube arrays of barium titanate and TiO2 (BTO/TiO2NT) was studied at room temperature under daylight illumination. The BTO/TiO2NT heterostructures exhibited a giant PPC effect that was six orders of magnitude higher than the dark conductivity, followed by a slow rela…

We propose a post-processing approach to efficiently tune the resonance frequency in double-layered terahertz metamaterials separated by a bonding agent. By heating the bonding agent, it is possible to move one metamaterial layer laterally with respect to the other. This changes the coupling between adjacent layers, t…

Cubic ZnSe nanowires with a polymer-like entangling structure and their application in polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are reported in this paper. The entangling nanostructure of ZnSe, which is observed for the first time, is grown on the basis of the oriented attachment mechanism but does not occur completely un…

We studied the UV-irradiation and phospholipid driven bipolar-radial structural transitions within azoxybenzene nematic liquid crystal (LC) droplets dispersed in water. It was found that the UV-irradiation induced trans-cis isomerisation of LC molecules could enable structural transitions into radial-type configuratio…

A selenolate-protected Ag-Pd alloy cluster was synthesized using a one-pot solution-phase route. The crude product upon chromatographic analyses under optimized conditions gave three distinct clusters with unique optical features. One of these exhibits a molecular peak centered at m/z 2839, in its negative ion mass sp…

The influence of grain size in the magnetic properties of phase separated manganites is an important issue evidenced more than a decade ago. The formation of long range ordered phases is suppressed as the grain size decreases giving place to a metastable state instead of the ground state. In this work, we present a st…
