Moderate-pressure conditions of 2 GPa has been used to stabilize the complex perovskite CeCu3Mn4O12. It can be considered as a derivative of the parent CaCu3Mn4O12 compound, by full replacement of Ca by Ce cations. The electronic injection leads to a very substantial increment of the ferromagnetic TC, up to 395 K. Thi…

The atomistic structure of the graphene buffer layer on Si-terminated SiC is investigated using a modified version of the environment-dependent interatomic potential. The determination of the equilibrium state by the conjuguate gradients method suffers from a complex multiple-minima energy surface. The initial configu…

Characteristic voltage oscillation phenomenon is observed in an organic conductor α-[bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene]2I3, in the nonlinear conductivity region below the metal-insulator transition at 135 K. The oscillation, which is clearly visible in the wave form, appears only when the current is applied in the…

We report that single-layer graphene on a SiO2/Si substrate withstands ion bombardment up to ∼7 times longer than expected when exposed to focused Ga+ ion beam. The exposure is performed in a dual beam scanning electron microscope/focused ion beam system at 30 kV accelerating voltage and 41 pA current. Ga+ ion flux is…

Abstract By carrying out decarbonation of CO32−-type MgAl-LDH (layered double hydroxide) using an acetate-buffer/salt solution under N2 flow, CO32−LDH was successfully converted into ClO4− and NO3−LDHs, which contain only a little residual CO32−, in one step under mild conditions. Due to the superior anion-exchangeabi…

Mobility of ferroelectric domain walls is a critical factor in the fatigue of piezoelectric ceramics. Here, reversible and irreversible domain wall motion is evaluated for lead-zirconate-titanate both before and after fatigue cycling. To this end, the small-signal permittivity at different levels of bias field is comp…
