The epitaxial growth of Ba₂SiO₄ thin films on Si(001) by co-deposition of Ba and Si in an oxygen background pressure is systematically investigated with a focus on the epitaxial interface. A structural investigation is ...

Thermoelectric materials can, reversibly and without any moving parts, convert thermal energy into electrical energy by coupling an entropic and an electrical flux with each other. This ability is becoming increasingly ...

Ceramic composites composed of oxide materials have been synthesized by reaction sintering of Ca3Co4O9 with BiCuSeO nanosheets. In situ x-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses of the compound powders were conducted ...
