The role of X-ray based electron spectroscopies in determining chemical, electronic, and
magnetic properties of solids has been well-known for several decades. A powerful …

Abstract Undoped and Cr-doped TiO 2 thin films were synthesized by the dip-coating sol-gel
process with titanium isopropoxide and chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate being used as …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique that yields
invaluable information on a range of phenomena that occur in solids, liquids, and gasses …

In some d-electron oxides, the measured effective mass m exptl* has long been known to be
significantly larger than the model effective mass m model* deduced from mean-field band …

One of the main causes of deterioration of ancient documents is the presence of
microorganisms, especially fungi. In this study, we report on the detection of microbiological …

There is almost a factor of 2 increase in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main Ti
2p1/2 XPS peak compared to the 2p3/2 in the closed-shell Ti (IV) compounds TiO2 and …

The ability to tailor oxide heterointerfaces has led to novel properties in low‐dimensional
oxide systems. A fundamental understanding of these properties is based on the concept of …

Oxide‐based 2D electron gases (2DEGs) have generated significant interest due to their
potential for discovering novel physical properties. Among these, 2DEGs formed in KTaO3 …

Abstract The 2‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) found at the surface of SrTiO3 and related
interfaces has attracted significant attention as a promising basis for oxide electronics. In …

We explore how the structure and composition of the terminal layer of n-SrTi O 3 (001)
determine key surface electronic properties. We have measured and calculated from first …
