We observed significant influence of the top-electrode material on the thickness and temperature dependences of the dielectric response of single-crystalline Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 thin-film capacitors. For SrRuO3∕Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3∕SrRuO3 samples, the position of dielectric maximum shifts to lower temperatures with decreasing fi…

The structural and dielectric properties of both pure and Nd3+-doped Ba0.77Ca0.23TiO3 (BCT23) ceramics obtained from solid-state reaction were investigated. The BCT23 ceramics sintered at 1300 °C for 3 h showed a dense microstructure without the presence of secondary phases. The use of Nd3+ as a dopant affected the mi…

The spin dynamics of a ring-shaped molecule comprising 10 iron(III) ions $(s=5∕2)$ is studied by inelastic neutron scattering. Exchange integrals and single-ion anisotropy parameters are determined by studying several intermultiplet excitations. Difficulties associated with the dimension of the Hilbert space are overc…

Rheological properties of aqueous nanometric alumina suspensions with fructose as dispersant were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry indicated that a significant fraction of the water is immobilized by the nanometric particles in the suspension. This in turn increased the viscosity of…
