Most of the experimental results presented in this book would not have been possible to
obtain without high-quality single-crystalline samples. The history of chemical synthesis and …

Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and optical ellipsometry, room temperature
spectra of complex conductivity of single crystals of hexaborides Gd x La 1− x B 6, x (Gd)= 0 …

In this study, a purity of up to 98.36 wt.% GdB 6 with screw dislocation growth morphology
were successfully fabricated using an in-situ reaction approach. The terraced-like structure …

A high-quality and large-sized GdB6 single crystal was successfully prepared by using the
optical floating zone method to accurately control the temperature and composition of the …

Thermal plasma is one of the upcoming powerful tools used for materials processing. It
covers a wide range of technological applications such as synthesis of various refractory …

The electron spin resonance has been measured for the first time both in the paramagnetic
phase of the metallic GdB 6 antiferromagnet (TN= 15.5 K) and in the antiferromagnetic state …

Gadolinium hexaboride (GdB 6) is a well-known field emitter material that has been
investigated for more than three decades. We perform a systematical density-functional …

Randomness and frustration are believed to be two crucial criteria for the formation of spin
glass state. However, the spin freezing occurs in some well-ordered crystals below the …

Abstract Ni 2-x Co x MnSb Heusler alloys were fabricated by arc melting process. The
endothermic/exothermic reactions with increasing temperature were determined by DTA …

Seebeck coefficient has been studied on the single crystals of metallic hexaborides RB 6
(R= La, Pr, Nd, Gd) at temperatures of 2–300 K. The experiment has shown that the signal is …
