In this study, we have investigated the hydrothermal stability of mesostructured titania having either amorphous or nanocrystalline walls. On the basis of Raman, XRD, and N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis, we have shown that the alteration of the mesostructure is mainly due to the appearance or the growth of anatase…

For the characterisation of group III nitrides by X-ray diffraction there are several challenges. In particular: a) reliable reference data on cell parameters of the end members and b) a simple and reliable method to obtain the alloy content of a thin film or multi-quantum layer structure that is fully strained to a t…

The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA) was shown to be established in ferromagnetic (FM)/fcc-Mn bilayers through the FM-antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange coupling. We demonstrate here that such PMA can be further enhanced by incorporating an ultrathin Fe film as an underlayer. In a series of Fe/Mn bilayers, hystere…

Strong perpendicular exchange bias was realized in sputter-deposited CoPt/CoO multilayers. The as-deposited multilayer shows strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) which remains up to a critical CoPt layer thickness as thick as 4 nm. After perpendicular field cooling, the multilayer with antiferromagnetic CoO…

A chlorocuprate ionic liquid functionalized biochar sulfonic acid (BCSA–IL-Cu) catalyst was proposed and conveniently prepared via grafting 1-trimethoxysilyl propyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride (IL)-CuCl 2 (IL-Cu) onto biochar sulfonic acid (BCSA). The proposed catalyst showed much higher turnover numbers (TONs, 3.54…

Dual gate amorphous-InGaZnO4 (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with a bottom gate that covers the whole channel and a top gate that covers only a small portion of the channel are investigated. It is shown that if the larger gate (bottom gate) is held at constant positive bias, while the smaller gate (top gate) dri…
