Abstract We report on the measurement of deep inner-shell 2 p X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) patterns from laser-aligned I molecules using free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses.

To electrochemically control structural and transport properties of oxygen-deficient perovskite SrFeOy (2.5 ≦ y 3) (SFO) epitaxial films, we employed electric-field-effect transistor structures in which the proton-conducting solid electrolyte Nafion is used as a gate insulator. When positive voltage (VGS) applied protons are injected toward film channel layer, SFO films reduced, leading to increases resistance. On other hand, when negative VGS removed, oxidized, result, resistances decrease....
