The dielectric response of (1−x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PZN-x%PT,4.5≤x≤12) single crystals is reported for ac field amplitudes up to ∼2 kV/cm at 1 kHz. The Rayleigh law is used to study the dielectric nonlinear response. It is found that the extrinsic contributions are extremely anisotropic. Rhombohedral crystals po…

Abstract Herein we report on the synthesis and characterization of the new borane adducts Htbo · BH 3 and Htbn · BH 3 (two isomers), where Htbo = 1,4,6‐triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct‐4‐ene and Htbn = 1,5,7‐triazabicyclo[4.3.0]non‐6‐ene. Thermal treatment of these adducts leads to dihydrogen elimination and the formation of d…

Hard and soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (called HAXPES and SXPES) were performed at ∼8 and ∼1.25 keV for the metal–insulator transitions (MIT) system VO 2 . From the sharp difference between HAXPES and SXPES in the O 1s spectra, it was found that the clean surface of the metal VO 2 is covered with a less itin…
