The abnormal polarization offset observed in case of graded ferroelectric structures is explained assuming the presence of a nonreversible part of polarization due to the imposed polarization gradient. It is shown that an upper limit for the offset should exist, fixed by the remnant polarization of the component mater…

We report the structural, magnetic, and electrical transport properties of pervoskite oxide La0.9Te0.1MnO3. This material, with space group R-3C, shows spin-glasslike features at low temperature and has a good colossal magnetoresistance behavior. The magnetoresistance ratio MR=[ρ(0)−ρ(H)]/ρ(0) is about 51% at 200 K in…

The development of devices that combine a magnetic material with a semiconductor chip is a major focus of current research. Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19 or BaM) thick films are deposited here using a rf sputtering system. The films are amorphous and nonmagnetic after deposition. Postdeposition thermal annealings are…

Ferroelectric Schottky diodes were fabricated with n-type Zn0.4Cd0.6S. These devices show promising nonvolatile memory properties and the integration into complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits seems feasible. So far, we have demonstrated on-resistances down to 100 Ω, on/off ratios up to 107, switchin…

Laser-induced weak shock formation in fused silica is studied using standard wave mechanics and applied to thin-film laser spallation experiments. Due to the negative nonlinear elasticity of fused silica, a laser-induced Gaussian stress pulse evolves into a shock after traveling a certain distance in a fused silica su…

The energy difference Δ E between the spin-allowed and spin-forbidden states of Tb 3+ in crystals is studied. The environmental factor h e representing the character of the host is redefined by using the chemical band of complex crystals. The relationship between h e and Δ E is found to be a linear relation. The resul…

Diffuse scattering (DS) due to the polar nanoregions in perovskite relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Zm 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 with 8% PbTiO 3 was investigated by cold neutron scattering with high energy resolution (8 GHz). The anisotropy of DS near the (100) Bragg reflection cannot be explained merely by the polar character of the i…

Defect formations located in the bulk of ${\mathrm{KH}}_{2}{\mathrm{PO}}_{4}$ crystals are studied using a specially designed microscopic fluorescence imaging system. The concentration of the observed defect clusters varies depending on the crystal-growth method, the growth sector of the crystal, and the speed of grow…

Oxygen transport: Here, the authors present the elucidation of the NO decomposition activity of Cu-ZSM-5 (see picture) by identifying the bis(μ-oxo)dicopper species as the key intermediate that allows the smooth formation and desorption of O2. Its isomerized (μ-η2:η2-peroxo)dicopper core is present in natural enzymes,…

Electromigration lifetime was measured as a function of liner thickness for Cu/SiO2 interconnect structures. A significant increase in mean lifetime was observed for structures in which the liner thickness at the base of the test via was less than approximately 6 nm, with a current density <5 mA/μm2 in the powe…
