Effect of microstructure on the thermoelectric performance of La1−xSrxCoO3
(2016)We present a case where the microstructure has a profound effect on the thermoelectric properties of oxide compounds. Specifically, we have investigated the effect of different sintering treatments on La1−xSrxCoO3 samples ...

Electron spectroscopic studies of nanocomposite PVD TiAlBN coatings
(2002)A range of TiAlBN coatings have been deposited by electron beam evaporation and the optimised composition exhibits a 150% improvement over single phase TiAlN coatings in drilling tests. The coatings have been analysed by ...

Influence of grain size on ultrafast carrier dynamics in thin nanocrystalline silicon films
(2007)The ultrafast carrier dynamics in thin nanocrystalline silicon films (10 and 20 nm thick) on quartz over a broad spectral range using optical pumping at a moderate fluence of 2.5 mJ cm2 were studied. The films were composed ...

Pulsed laser deposition and thermal characterization of Ni-doped La5Ca9Cu24O41 thin films
(2011)Highly b-axis oriented polycrystalline Ni-doped La5Ca 9Cu24O41 thin films have been grown on (0 0 1) SrTiO3 substrates using the pulsed laser deposition technique. EDX measurements have revealed nearly stoichiometric ...

Structural and thermal characterization of La5Ca 9Cu24O41 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on (1 1 0) SrTiO3 substrates
(2012)In the present study stoichiometric, b-axis oriented La5Ca 9Cu24O41 thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on (1 1 0) SrTiO3 substrates in the temperature range 600-750 °C. High resolution transmission electron ...

Time-resolved ultrafast carrier dynamics in as-grown nanocrystalline silicon films: The effect of film thickness and grain boundaries
(2008)In this letter, we have studied transient photoinduced absorption in as-grown nanocrystallinc silicon films with thickness varied from 5 to 30 nm. Effects of quantum confinement (QC) in z-direction and grain boundary ...

Transient photoinduced absorption in ultrathin as-grown nanocrystalline silicon films
(2008)We have studied ultrafast carrier dynamics in nanocrystalline silicon films with thickness of a few nanometers where boundary-related states and quantum confinement play an important role. Transient non-degenerated ...
