The growth and structural characterization of a La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 /BaTiO 3 superstructure (superlattice)
In this study, we report the structural characterization of a La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 /BaTiO 3 superstructure fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. The sample was produced through the successive, alternating deposition of the two materials onto a SrTiO 3 (001) substrate. Structural information was obtained using reflection high-energy electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and X-ray diffraction. The X-ray experimental data were further analyzed with the aid of a computational statistical model of the superstructure to improve analytical accuracy. The results confirmed that the sample exhibits a high-quality crystallographic structure.

Angle- and energy-dispersive diffraction used to determine stress evolution in 17-4 PH stainless steel produced by ADAM and subjected to SMAT processing
In this study, the evolution of residual stress and elastic anisotropy in 17–4 PH stainless steel produced by atomic diffusion additive manufacturing (ADAM) and then subjected to surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) was investigated. Angle- and energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to analyse the residual stress profiles in both the as-built and SMAT-processed samples. The results reveal that SMAT introduces compressive residual stresses while refining the material subgrain structure. Residual stress analysis indicates that the as-built sample exhibits tensile stresses near the surface, which gradually decrease with depth. In contrast, the SMAT-processed sample shows compressive stresses, ranging from −200 MPa at the surface to −600 MPa in deeper regions. This study highlights the critical role of selecting an appropriate grain-interaction model for X-ray stress factor calculation to ensure accurate residual stress characterization, which is essential for the reliability and performance of additively manufactured components, particularly applications with high-level loading.

Comparative Studies on Synthesis Methods of BiVO4 for Photoelectrochemical Applications
In this work, we report optical and photoelectrochemical properties of BiVO4 synthesized by microwave, sonochemical, sol–gel, and direct deposition on conductive substrate methods. Structural and morphological characterization using XRD, SEM, and AFM confirmed the presence of both monoclinic and tetragonal phases, with variations in particle size and surface roughness. UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed band gaps in the range of 2.38–2.51 eV. Photoelectrochemical performance was evaluated through measurements of photocurrents under varying illumination wavelengths and applied potentials. BiVO4 as a thin film exhibited the highest photocurrent intensity due to its superior semiconductor–substrate contact. In contrast, BiVO4 samples obtained as a powder showed significantly lower photocurrents but demonstrated the photocurrent switching effects, attributed to the presence of surface trap states and oxygen vacancies. The obtained results highlight the importance of synthesis strategy in tailoring BiVO4 properties for use as a photoelectrochemical cell and suggest potential applications in molecular electronics, such as logic gates and memory devices.

X-ray characterization of perovskite superlattices with the help of Monte Carlo modelling
Artificial perovskite superlattices can be examined in detail with X-ray diffraction. Experimental diffractograms contain a large number of intensity peaks and, in principle, theoretical interpretations can be carried out using a model of an ideal superlattice. However, many of the theoretical peaks do not appear in experimental patterns (or appear with strongly modified shapes). Diffraction effects for superlattices seem to be very sensitive to the presence of defects of different kinds. Therefore, it is useful to consider structural imperfections when analysing multilayers composed of perovskite oxides. We first present an idealized model of a superlattice, assuming the Bragg–Brentano geometry for X-ray measurements, and then we discuss in detail a statistical model of the superlattice structure. The practical application of the statistical approach is demonstrated for a La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/BaTiO3 superlattice.

MXene/Bacterial Cellulose Hybrid Materials for Sustainable Soft Electronics
This work evaluated bacterial cellulose (BC) as a possible biodegradable soft electronics substrate in comparison to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), while also focusing on evaluating hybrid MXene/BC material as potential flexible electronic sensor. Material characterization studies revealed that the BC material structure consists of nanofibers with diameters ranging from 70 to 140 nm, stacked layer-by-layer. BC samples produced are sensitive to post-treatment with isopropanol resulting in a change of structural and mechanical properties. The viscoelastic properties of the BC substrates have been studied experimentally in comparison with the PET film. Aged BC substrate showcased similar viscoelastic properties stability, while exhibiting better properties above 70 °C, with total storage modulus change of −15% and loss modulus change of 21%. MXenes prepared using the Minimally Intensive Layer Delamination (MILD) method were screen-printed onto BC substrates and PET films to form MXene/BC (MX/BC) and MXene/PET (MX/PET) devices. The electrical properties results showcased different resistive behavior on both BC and PET substrate samples with different impedance moduli. MX/PET presented lower sheet resistance of around 156 ·sq−1, while MX/BC was 2733 ·sq−1. Finally, the MX/BC and MX/PET devices were subjected to repeatable quasi-static load tests and the piezoresistive sensing behavior of the devices has been reported.Open AccessMXene/Bacterial Cellulose Hybrid Materials for Sustainable Soft Electronics

Memristors Based on Ni(II)‐tetraaza[14]annulene Complexes: Toward an Unconventional Resistive Switching Mechanism
In this work, a family of Ni‐based dibenzotetraaza[14]annulene (dtaa) complexes are investigated for their application in memristors (memory resistors). A series of four Ni(II) complexes with different peripheral substituents of the dtaa ligand are successfully synthesized. Based on these compounds, two‐terminal thin‐film devices are fabricated in planar architecture. Four metals with different work functions are tested: Mg, Cu, Ni, and Au. It is demonstrated that ITO|[Ni(Me4dtaa)]|Cu devices show hysteretic behavior and offer stable, robust, and reproducible switching between high‐ and low‐resistive states. An in‐depth spectroscopic characterization of the Ni complex is performed, using radiation from infrared, through visible and ultraviolet, to tender X‐rays. Operando X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy is used to monitor redox and structural changes upon the polarization of the studied memristor with the external electric field. Density functional theory calculations are used to better understand the electronic structure of the studied material, as well as structural rearrangement after electron injection that may be responsible for the modulation of electric conductivity. Finding a unique case of filamentary‐type resistive switching involving redox reactions of stationary molecules within a molecular solid is postulated. Yet, the formation of these filaments is not related to any significant configurational changes at the atomic scale.

Evaluation of the Electronic Properties of Atomic Layer Deposition-Grown Ge-Doped Zinc Oxide Thin Films at Elevated Temperatures
The aim of this study was to determine the electronic properties of as-deposited ALD-grown Ge-doped zinc oxide thin films annealed at 523 K or 673 K. SEM, EDS, and ellipsometry measurements confirmed that the Ge-doped zinc oxide films with a thickness of around 100 nm and uniform composition were successfully obtained. GI-XRD measurements did not reveal phases other than the expected Wurtzite structure of the ZnO. The electronic properties, i.e., conductivity, charge carrier concentration, and mobility of the films, were evaluated using Hall effect measurements and explained based on corresponding XPS measurements. This work supports the theory that oxygen vacancies act as electron donors and contribute to the intrinsic n-type conductivity of ZnO. Also, it is shown that the effect of oxygen vacancies on the electronic properties of the material is stronger than the effect introduced by Ge doping.
