Epitaxial crystalline yittria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) oxide films were grown on silicon wafers by the laser molecular beam epitaxy technique. The interface of YSZ film in contact with was found to be atomically sharp and commensurately crystallized without an amorphous layer. An x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profile transmission electron microscopy investigation showed that no SiO2 formed at interface. For a electrical equivalent thickness (teox) 14.6 Å, leakage current is about...

In this paper, the giant tunability of thermal behaviors, i.e., from deterioration to substantial growth, is firmly demonstrated for vibronic luminescence Mn4+ ions in fluoride phosphors. Such peculiar behavior uncovered be associated with excitation a low-frequency phonon bath, and theoretical model involving excitation-wavelength-dependent populations levels temperature-dependent nonradiative recombination processes successfully constructed. Two main governing parameters, namely,...

The inter-grain extrinsic magnetoresistance (eMR) observed in polycrystalline perovskite manganites has attracted attention recently. Previous efforts aimed at eMR enhancement have concentrated on grain boundary (GB) modification, mainly by insulator doping.
