We show that metallic secondary phase formation inside ZnO(0001) single crystals implant-doped with Ni at an atomic concentration of 5% can be suppressed. All the Ni ions are in the 2+ valence state after mild postannealing. The suppression is achieved by means of annealing of the crystals in high vacuum prior to impl…

Nickel doping has been found to produce weak room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM) in CeO2. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of the chemically synthesized Ce1−xNixO2 samples showed a maximum for x=0.04, above which the magnetization decreased gradually. For Ce1−xNixO2 samples with x⩾0.04, an activation process involvi…

Photoemission microspectroscopy on the layered misfit compound (PbS)1.13TaS2 provides direct evidence for Ta substitution into PbS layers as well as for Pb substitution into TaS2 layers. This metal cross substitution alters the charge balance between alternating layers and can explain the remarkable stability of (PbS)…
