Resistivity anomalies and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling in superconducting thin film solid solutions of NbU for
Syed Akbar Hussain, Katie Brewer, Livina Onuegbu +4
Polycrystalline thin films of solid solutions with were prepared via d.c. magnetron sputtering at ambient conditions. X-ray…
Local Structure of Epitaxial Single Crystal UO Thin Films
Jarrod C. Lewis, Steven D. Conradson, Jacek Wasik +5
The influence of oxygen stoichiometry on the uranium local environment is explored in epitaxial single crystal uranium oxide thin films grown by DC magnetron sputtering. Through po…
Epitaxial thin film growth in the U-Ge binary system
Syed Akbar Hussain, Ali A. M. H. Jasem, Lottie M. Harding +2
We explore the U-Ge phase diagram using thin film growth by co-deposition of U and Ge via d.c. magnetron sputtering. Using three different single crystal substrates - MgO, CaF…
Polyepitaxial grain matching to study the oxidation of uranium dioxide
Jacek Wasik, Joseph Sutcliffe, Renaud Podor +15
Although the principal physical behaviour of a material is inherently connected to its fundamental crystal structure, the behaviours observed in the real-world are often driven by…
Absence of Induced Ferromagnetism in Epitaxial Uranium Dioxide Thin Films
William Thomas, Fabrice Wilhelm, Sean Langridge +6
Recently, Sharma et al. [Adv. Sci. 9, 2203473 (2022)] claimed that thin films (around 20 nm) of UO2 deposited on perovskite substrates exhibit strongly enhanced paramagnetism (call…
