Tl-doped PbTe $({\mathrm{Pb}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Tl}}_{x}\mathrm{Te})$ is an anomalous superconductor with a remarkably high maximum ${T}_{c}$ value given its relatively low carrier concentration. Here, we present results of systematic measurements of superconducting parameters for this material, for Tl concen…

The angular dependence of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been investigated for molecules adsorbed onto Ag nanorod array substrates fabricated using an oblique angle deposition technique. The strong SERS signal of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethene (BPE) was found to be strongly dependent on the incident ang…

Acceptor doping and donor doping have been known to result in opposite ferroelectric aging effects, but the aging effect of hybrid-doped (acceptor+donor) ferroelectrics has remained unclear. In this letter the authors report the aging effect in Mn3++Nb5+ hybrid-doped BaTiO3 ceramics with acceptor fixed at 1mol% but wi…

Abstract A simple and versatile approach has been developed to synthesize different carbon nanotube (CNT)–nanoparticle hybrid materials. The strategy is based on the nondestructive (noncovalent) functionalization of pristine CNTs and the subsequent in situ synthesis of a variety of different nanoparticles, including m…

The structure and the interface chemistry of epitaxial BiFeO3–NiFe2O4 nanocomposite thin films on SrTiO3(001) substrates were investigated using the Z-contrast imaging and the electron exit-wave reconstruction methods at the atomic scale. The results show that the NiFe2O4 pillars are nonwetting with respect to the sub…

A new type of charge-ordering pattern for Pr1-xCaxMnO3: a hybridization of site- and bond-centred ordering (SBCO) was proposed by Efremov et al.. It was believed this discovery opened a new route to magnetic ferroelectrics. Here we argue that the possible ferroelectric of Pr1-xCaxMnO3 also originates from the cation d…
