LaBaMnO films produced by dip-coating on a quartz substrate

Preparation and characterisation of thickness dependent nano-structured ZnS thin films by sol–gel technique

“…It is a low-cost; the coatings have perfect bonding, smooth surface and no flake off [15]; they can be as thin as submicron thus providing excellent packing density [16]; the thickness of films can be controlled by solution chemistry, withdrawal rate or number of dipping [17]. In addition, the sol-gel technique is very attractive at low temperature processing of complex oxide and sulphur compositions with a high homogeneity [18].…”

Citrate combustion synthesized Al-doped CaCu3Ti4O12 quadruple perovskite: synthesis, characterization and multifunctional properties

“…46,53 Thus, the magnetic measurements indicate that unlike the substitution by magnetic ions the diamagnetic substitution does not hamper the magnetic super-exchange interaction between Cu 2+ in the A-site largely. [49][50][51] 3.5. Dielectric properties Fig.…”

Influence of the crystalline phase on the electrocatalytic behaviour of Sm2−xSrxNiO4−δ (x = 0.4 to 1.0) Ruddlesden–Popper-based systems: a comparative study of bulk and thin electrocatalysts

“…This lattice mismatch induces strain, resulting in drastically affecting the electronic properties. [48][49][50] In the present case, the grain size of thin films (for SEM micrographs and grain size histograms, Fig. S8, ESI †) is higher than that of their bulk counterparts, but it is irrespective of the phase change in thin films.…”
