We investigate the magnetic and transport properties of epitaxial stepped Fe3O4 thin films grown with different thicknesses. Magnetization measurements suggest that the steps induce additional anisotropy, which has an easy axis perpendicular to steps and the hard axis along the steps. Separate local transport measurem…

We show that it is possible to design two photonic crystal (PC) structures such that an optical beam of desired wavelength gets guided within the line defect of the first structure (photonic band gap guidance) and the same beam gets guided in the second structure by self-collimation. Using two dimensional simulation o…

SiOx-based resistive random access memory devices with metal-insulator-metal structure are compared to metal-insulator-semiconductor structures, and the effects of external resistance on device performance are characterized. The different reset behaviors are explained as a positive feedback mechanism involving a sudde…

Store Steel Ltd. is one of the biggest spring steel producers in Europe. Spring steel should have proper chemical composition and microstructure and should be without surface defects. Decarburization—that is, reduction of carbon content—also influences spring steel surface quality. During regular production, the data…

Two new ternary arsenides, namely, Eu7Cu44As23 and Sr7Cu44As23, were synthesized from elements at 800 °C. Their crystal structure represents a new filled version of the BaHg11 motif with cubic voids alternately occupied by Eu(Sr) and As atoms, resulting in a 2 × 2 × 2 superstructure of the aristotype: space group Fm3̅…

High-field magnetization and high-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR) are employed to differentiate magnetism between an orthorhombic and a hexagonal majority phase of ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{3}{\mathrm{CuSb}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{9}$. For the orthorhombic sample, an ESR signal changes its temperature dependence at ${T}_{S}\e…

We present a first-principles study of the properties of ordinary hexagonal ice (phase I(h)) and of its proton-ordered version (phase XI) under the action of static electric fields. We compute the mechanical response to the field in addition to the ionic current-voltage diagrams; we also analyze several other microsco…
