The single crystal growth of large semi‐insulating GaSe by the vertical Bridgman technique using zone‐refined selenium (Se) and HP gallium (Ga) is described. The grown crystals (up to 10 cm long and 2.5 cm diameter) have been characterized thoroughly by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis by x‐rays (EDAX), optical absorption/transmission, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), charge carrier electrical property measurements, second harmonic test, and radiation detection measurements.

Multilayered solid structures made of isotropic, transversely isotropic, or general anisotropic materials are frequently used in aerospace, mechanical, and civil structures. Ultrasonic fields developed in such structures by finite size transducers simulating actual experiments in laboratories or in the field have not been rigorously studied. Several attempts to compute the ultrasonic field inside solid media have been made based on approximate paraxial methods like the classical ray tracing and multi-Gaussian beam models. These approximate methods have several limitations. A new semianalytical method is adopted in this article to model elastic wave field in multilayered solid structures with planar or nonplanar …

In this paper, we report a microcrack toughening mechanism for enhancing the adhesion of diamondcoating. The oriented microcracks were formed within the TiC interlayer to dissipate strain energy and accommodate deformation via the crack opening-closing mechanism, thus enhancing the coating/substrate interfacial toughness. The delamination of diamondcoating was effectively prevented when the parallel microcracks were confined within the interlayer and arrested at interfaces of coating/interlayer/substrate. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the highly anisotropicfracture strength of the TiC phase energetically favors crack initiation and propagation along (100) planes only, which are 54.7° away from the interface. These microcracks are constrained inside …
Giant Interlayer Magnetoresistances And Strong Anisotropy In P-Type Sb2te3 Single Crystals, Zengji Yue, Xiaolin Wang, S X. Dou
Giant Interlayer Magnetoresistances And Strong Anisotropy In P-Type Sb2te3 Single Crystals, Zengji Yue, Xiaolin Wang, S X. Dou

Anisotropic interlayer magneto-transport properties have been studied over a broad range of temperatures and magnetic fields in p-type Sb2Te3 single crystals. Giant interlayer magnetoresistance (MR) of up to 400% was observed, which exhibits quadratic field dependences in low fields and becomes linear at high fields without any trend towards saturation. The interlayer MR displays strong anisotropy and is attributable to the anisotropy of the Fermi surface. The observed giant anisotropic interlayer MR could find applications in p-type Sb2Te3 based magneto-electronic devices.

The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the magnetization and critical current density of Fe1.04Te0.6Se0.4 single crystals have been investigated, and the flux pinning mechanism has been analysed. The normalized pinning force (fp Fp/F p,max) vs. h(H/Hirr) curves, are scaled using the Dew-Hughes theory, f(h) ≈ hp(1 - h)q with p 1.35 and q 3.06. The angular dependence of the resistivity under different magnetic fields shows a dip-like structure, below the superconducting transition temperature. The anisotropic value of 2 was obtained using Ginzburg-Landau theory.

Epitaxial Bi2FeMnO6 (BFMO) thin films deposited on various Nb:SrTiO3 substrates show that the lattice parameters are very sensitive to epitaxial strains. Compressive and tensile strains are induced to the in-plane lattice constants of the (100) and (111) oriented films, respectively, while that of the (110) oriented thin film stay unstrained. The thin films also exhibit a strongly anisotropic growth habit depending on the substrate. Spiral growth, such as in the (100) BFMO film, is unique in samples prepared by pulsed laser deposition. Extrinsic dielectric constants at low frequencies are attributed to oxygen vacancies via the Maxwell-Wagner effect. All the samples …

We report on the magnetic anisotropic properties of pure and Mg doped LiFePO4 single crystals grown by the traveling solvent floating zone technique. Our results reveal a considerable anisotropy in the susceptibilities along H‖a, H‖b, and H‖c for both crystals. LiFePO4 and Li0.99Mg0.01FePO4 crystals show antiferromagnetic long-range ordering below the Néel temperature of about 52 K, with the b axis being the magnetic easy axis. The effective moments have been determined to be 6.18μB and 6.07μB for the pure and the doped crystals, respectively. These values are higher than what is expected on the basis of the spin-only value of …

We report the magnetic properties of single crystals of NaxCoO2 (x=0.42, 0.82, and 0.87). The magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed considerable anisotropy along H parallel to ab and H parallel to c for the as-grown single crystals. It was found that an antiferromagnetic transition with a Neel temperature T-N=21 K occurred for the x=0.82 sample, and there was a paramagnetic phase for the x=0.87 sample over a wide temperature range from 2 to 300 K, but the sample with x=0.42 shows a monotonic increase of chi with increasing temperature above similar to 100 K. In addition, the x=0.82 sample has the …

Bulk And Surface Retarded Modes In Multilayered Structures - Antiparallel Magnetization, H. How, C. Vittoria

The wave dispersion relations of the mixed polariton-photon modes propagating within the bulk and along the surface of a semi-infinite magnetic/nonmagnetic layered structure with an alternating arrangement of the magnetization are calculated. The magnetic layers are magnetized to saturation along the uniaxial anisotropy axis, and the waves are considered to propagate transverse to this axis. The results are contrasted with those calculated for a layered structure in which the magnetization in each layer is parallel to each other. For the antiparallel case there evolve modes of wave propagation which assume different dispersion forms when compared to the parallel case. In …

An optimized alternating target laser ablation deposition (ATLAD) technique has been developed to grow high quality barium hexaferrite (BaFe₁₂O₁₉) thin films on basal plane oriented sapphire(Al₂O₃) substrates from barium monoferrite (BaFe₂O₄) and hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) targets. Crystallographic and structural characterization results show that the films possess low c-axis dispersion of Δ ω=0.259 degrees and hexagonal terraced surface morphology. Saturation magnetization and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy field were determined to be consistent with reference data on high quality barium hexaferrite films and bulk single crystals grown by other techniques. Ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of 42 Oe was measured at 52 GHz by the shorted …

Stretching Induced Hall Current And Conductance Anisotropy In Graphene, A R Wright, Chao Zhang

We evaluate the effect of stretching on the optical conductance of a single layer graphene sheet. It is found that the low energy (Dirac regime) isotropy that leads to the `universal conductance' is lost. More significantly, due to the loss of C_3 symmetry, a non-zero Hall conductance emerges for stretching along chiral directions, reaching a maximum at a stretching angle of 45 degrees, and being as high a S_0 = e2/4h at van Hove singular point for bond angle changes of about 2 degrees.
