Over the last 30 years, the study of ferroelectric oxides has been revolutionized by the
implementation of epitaxial‐thin‐film‐based studies, which have driven many advances in …

Thermal spray coatings are material systems with unique structures and properties that have
enabled the growth and evolution of key modern technologies (ie, gas turbines, structurally …

Semiconductors are well known as the main materials of modem solid-state electronics.
They have held the attention of researches and engineers since the brilliant invention of the …

Phase stability, structural, and electronic properties of iron silicides in the Fe 3 Si, FeSi, and
FeSi 2 compositions are investigated by first-principle density-functional calculations based …

Studies of the properties and characteristics of transition metal silicides have been
stimulated by their (potential) use in integrated circuit technology. This review describes …

The technique of synthesizing buried epitaxial silicides by high-dose ion implantation and
subsequent high-temperature annealing is reviewed. This technique, called mesotaxy, is at …

Epitaxial thin films of the semiconducting transition metal silicide, beta-FeSi2, were grown on
(001) silicon wafers. The observed matching face relationship is FeSi2 (100)/Si (001), with …

Predominant dislocation types in solar silicon are dissociated into 30°-and 90°-partials with
reconstructed cores. Besides shallow 1D-band localized in their strain field and a quasi-2D …

We present experimental evidence for the indirect nature of the β-FeSi 2 gap. We
furthermore show, by analyzing the temperature dependence of the direct gap by means of a …

Heteroepitaxy can involve materials with a misfit of crystal structure. Rotation domains in the
epilayer are a fundamental consequence. We derive a general expression for their …
