BaTiO3 films were deposited by the direct vapor deposition (DVD) technique to prepare thin dielectric layers for multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs). The BaTiO3 films were successfully prepared by co-evaporation of the BaTiO3 ceramic and Ti metal source. The films deposited at room temperature and 600°C were am…

We study the effect of non-Markovian reservoirs on the heat conduction properties of short to intermediate size molecular chains. Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the distance dependence of the heat current is determined not only by the molecular properties, rather it is also critically inf…

Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy were conducted over a broad temperature range on single crystals of Pr 0.68 Pb 0.32 MnO 3 . Spectroscopic studies revealed inhomogeneous maps of the zero-bias conductance with a broad distribution of the local conductivities only within a narrow temperature range close to…

We report that SWCNTs substantially improve the uniformity and coverage of TiO2 coatings on porous ZrO2 ceramic membrane filters. The ZrO2 filters were dip coated with 100 nm anatase TiO2, TiO2/SWCNT composites, a TiO2+SWCNT mixture, and a TiO2/MWCNT composite at pH 3, 5, and 8. Whereas the TiO2+SWCNT mixture and the…

The conditions for carbon nanotube synthesis in the bulk of arc discharges and on plasma-exposed solid surfaces are compared to reveal the main distinguishing features of the growth kinetics and explain the striking difference between the growth of the nanotubes in both cases. It is shown that this difference is due t…

Magnetoelectric (ME) materials being at the same time antiferromagnetic (AF) are proposed to be used in spintronic applications, e.g. for Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM). The main idea considers exchange coupling to a ferromagnet at the interface of the ME material and corresponding exchange bias (EB). The propos…

By using non-collinear density-functional calculations, we clarified the magnetic states of zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs). In the novel non-collinear states that were found, the angle θ between the magnetic moments at the two edges were canted , i.e., 0 <θ< 180°, which was in contrast with the case of anti…
