Effect of Pt bottom electrode texture selection on the tetragonality and physical properties of Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 thin films produced by pulsed laser deposition J. Appl. Phys. 112, 044105 (2012); 10.1063/1.4748288 Structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of Mo 1 − x Fe x O 2 ( x = 0 -0.05 ) thin films grown by pulsed laser ablationHighly crystalline thin films of MoS 2 were prepared over large area by pulsed laser deposition down to a single monolayer on Al 2 O 3 (0001), GaN (0001), and SiC-6H (0001) substrates. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction studies show that the films are quasi-epitaxial with good out-of-plane texture. In addition, the thin films were observed to be highly crystalline with rocking curve full width half maxima of 0.01 , smooth with a RMS roughness of 0.27 nm, and uniform in thickness based on Raman spectroscopy. From transport measurements, the as-grown films were found to be p-type. V C 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. [http://dx.

A study of samarium powder‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions of aryl halides with terminal alkynes is described. The couplings performed in the polyethylene glycol PEG‐600 provided the corresponding coupling products in good yields. The first example of palladium‐free, copper‐free and amine‐free catalytic system for Sonogashira couplings is presented in the absence of ligand.
