CeO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method and the structural magnetic properties studied. X-ray diffraction, Raman selected area electron diffraction results indicate that samples have cubic fluorite structure without other impurity phases. Magnetisation measurements calcined at different temperatures exhibit room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM). The result of energy-dispersed spectrometry (EDS) analysis indicates ferromagnetic impurities could not be responsible...
A high-performance Al0.1Ga0.9N ultraviolet (UV) avalanche photodiode (APD) with a separate absorption and multiplication structure grown on AlN templates is fabricated by employing triple-mesa structure. The AlGaN UV-APD exhibits maximum gain up to 2.3 × 104 at the reverse bias of 67 V low breakdown voltage (<70 V). confirmed significantly lower reduce sidewall leakage current in comparison conventional double-mesa one. These improvements are explained simulation electric field which...
The performances of InGaN Schottky photodetectors with varied fabrication processes were investigated. photoresponse and dark current can be obviously improved by inserting a thin Si3N4 passivation layer between the metal. Furthermore, mesa process gives not only further increase in but also pronounced reduction reverse leakage about two orders magnitude. A lateral surface mechanism associated 2-D variable-range hopping conduction through high-density states is proposed to explain after etching mesa.
We report the first demonstration of a GaN-based planar metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) ultraviolet (UV) avalanche photodiode (APD).

Centrosymmetric (CS) nonmagnetic materials with hidden spin polarization induced by non-CS site symmetries and spin-orbit coupling are promising candidates for spintronic applications, in light of the zero net modulatable effects local structures. There is, however, an open issue regarding possible splitting broken inversion symmetry at sample surface. Here, we performed combinatorial experimental theoretical studies on potentially $2H\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{MoT}{\mathrm{e}}_{2}$ its...
We report an effect that occurs in semiconductors where internal electrical fields interact with a temperature gradient. Steady current vortices and magnetic field develop the system, even without external carrier injection. The is electrodynamic, energy dissipative, fundamentally distinct from any previously described electrothermal effects. In bipolar structures effective thermopower can be significantly modified by vortices. Joule heating arising reduces thermal conductivity amount...
The performance of hard-magnetic nanostructures is investigated by analyzing the size and geometry dependence thin-film hysteresis loops. Compared to bulk magnets, weight volume are much less important, but we find that energy product remains main figure merit down very small features sizes.

Microwave impedance microscopy (MIM) is a near-field imaging technique that has been used to visualize the local conductivity of materials with nanoscale resolution across GHz regime. In recent years, MIM shown great promise for investigation topological states matter, correlated electronic states, and emergent phenomena in quantum materials.
