Epitaxial fabrication of AgTe monolayer on Ag(111) and the sequential growth of Te film

Transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) materials have attracted increasing interest both for fundamental research and industrial applications. Among all these materials, two-dimensional (2D) compounds with honeycomb-like structure possess exotic electronic structures. Here, we report a systematic study of TMC monolayer AgTe fabricated by direct depositing Te on the surface of Ag(111) and annealing. Few intrinsic defects are observed and studied by scanning tunneling microscopy, indicating that there are two kinds of AgTe domains and they can form gliding twin-boundary. Then, the monolayer AgTe can serve as the template for the following growth of Te film. Meanwhile, some Te atoms are observed in the form of chains on the top of the bottom Te film. Our findings in this work might provide insightful guide for the epitaxial growth of 2D materials for study of novel physical properties and for future quantum devices.     

Exchange bias in FeNi/FeMn/Gd–Co trilayers: The role of the magnetic prehistory

FeNi/FeMn/Gd_xCo_100-x multilayered films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The Gd–Co layer had different temperature dependences of the spontaneous magnetization due to the different Gd content. The magnetic properties of the films were determined from hysteresis loops measured in the temperature range 5–473 K. In order to determine the existence of a long-range interaction and a mutual influence of two exchange bias systems through the formation of bulk continuous magnetic structure in the antiferromagnetic layer special cooling procedure with FeNi and Gd–Co magnetizations saturated in a direction parallel or antiparallel to each other was used. The observed difference in the exchange bias between the two cooling configurations was discussed.

Surface heterogeneity study of some reference Cu–Ag alloys using laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy

Investigation of the chemical composition, surface structure, metallurgical features, corrosion mechanism, and surface modification techniques of archeological metallic artifacts from Romans and pre‐Roman times aimed to simulate the most commonly used Cu‐based and Ag‐based alloys. These simulated reference alloys will be used as sacrificial materials to study the most appropriate conservation materials and procedures. In the present work, laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is introduced as a new validated surface mapping technique to study the micro‐chemical distribution of elements in binary reference copper–silver alloy samples. Using different techniques for surface and bulk analysis, such as SEM coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction, it has been proven that LIBS is a simple, sensitive, and direct technique in the determination of heterogeneity of the sample's surface. By changing the laser wavelength (λ/nm) and focal length of the used focusing lens (f/cm), different spot sizes can be obtained. It was possible to control the spatial resolution in mapping the investigated samples' surface and to achieve local chemical information. In the present work, Q‐switched neodymium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser has been used at its fundamental wavelength 1064 nm and its second harmonic 532 nm. The studied samples were specially manufactured heterogeneous copper–silver alloys with known grain size as studied via SEM investigation. The obtained LIBS results are in good agreement with those by other analytical techniques and extend the applicability of the surface techniques to study metallic ancient objects.

Thermodynamic study on complex of neodymium with glycine

Neodymium complex with glycine, Nd(Gly)₂Cl₃·3H₂O, was synthesized and characterized by IR spectra. The thermal stability of the complex was tested through TG and DTG and a possible mechanism of thermal decomposition was proposed. The heat capacities of the complex were measured by using an automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from T = (80 to 380) K, the thermodynamic functions, [H_T − H_298.15] and [S_T − S_298.15], were calculated based on the heat capacity measurements. Two (solid + solid) phase transitions in the ranges of T = (170 to 247) K were observed with the peak temperatures of 184.896 K and 231.217, respectively. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of [Nd(Gly)₂Cl₃·3H₂O] was determined to be (−3081.3 ± 1.1) kJ · mol⁻¹ in terms of an isoperibol solution-reaction calorimeter.
