Magnetotransport properties of p-InMnAs layers are studied in pulsed magnetic fields up to 30 T. Samples were prepared by the laser deposition and annealed by ruby laser pulses. Well annealed samples show p-type conductivity while they were n-type before the annealing. Surprisingly the anomalous Hall effect resistance in paramagnetic state (T>40 K) and in strong magnetic fields (B > 20 T) appears to be greater than that in ferromagnetic state (T <= 40 K), while the longitudinal resistance rises with the temperature decrease. The negative magnetoresistance saturates in magnetic fields higher then 10T at T near 4 K only, whereas the saturation fields of the anomalous Hall effect resistance are much less (around 2 T at 30K). The total reduction of resistance exceeds 10 times in magnetic fields around of 10T. The obtained results are interpreted on the base of the assumptions of the non-uniform distribution of Mn atoms acting as acceptors, the local ferromagnetic transition and the percolation-like character of the film conductivity, which prevailed under conditions of the strong fluctuations of the exchange interaction. Characteristic scales of the magneto-electric nonuniformity are estimated using analysis of the mesoscopic fluctuations of the non-diagonal components of the magnetoresistivity tensor.

Micron-thick boron films have been deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition in vacuum on several substrates at room temperature. The use of high energy pulses (>700 mJ) results in the deposition of smooth coatings with low oxygen uptake even at base pressures of 10$^{-4}$ - 10$^{-3}$ Pa. A detailed structural analysis, by X-Ray Diffraction and Raman, allowed to assess the amorphous nature of the deposited films as well as to determine the base pressure that prevents boron oxide formation. In addition the crystallization dynamics has been characterized showing that film crystallinity already improves at relatively low temperatures (800 {deg}C). Elastic properties of the boron films have been determined by Brillouin spectroscopy. Finally, micro-hardness tests have been used to explore cohesion and hardness of B films deposited on aluminum, silicon and alumina. The reported deposition strategy allows the growth of reliable boron coatings paving the way for their use in many technology fields.
A simple one-stage solution-based method was developed to produce graphene nanoribbons by sonicating graphite powder in organic solutions with polymer surfactant. The graphene nanoribbons were deposited on silicon substrate, and characterized by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Single-layer and few-layer graphene nanoribbons with a width ranging from sub-10 nm to tens of nm and length ranging from hundreds of nm to 1 {mu}m were routinely observed. Electrical transport properties of individual graphene nanoribbons were measured in both the back-gate and polymer-electrolyte top-gate configurations. The mobility of the graphene nanoribbons was found to be over an order of magnitude higher when measured in the latter than in the former configuration (without the polymer electrolyte), which can be attributed to the screening of the charged impurities by the counter-ions in the polymer electrolyte. This finding suggests that the charge transport in these solution-produced graphene nanoribbons is largely limited by charged impurity scattering.
The effect of chemical doping on the ZSiNRs with Mn as passivating element replacing H atoms at one edge are investigated by first principles calculations.The structures optimized in the typical ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic coupling show that the system leads to an AFM state and achieve half metallic properties.Also,our first principle approach based on the Keldysh nonequilibrium Greens function method gives the spin dependent transport properties of the device. When the system changes from parallel to antiparallel configuration. the spin up current increases rapidly while the spin down current is still depressed. Further, it is found that the system is a quite good spin filtering device with nearly 80 percent spin filtering efficiency at a wide bias voltage region and therefore suitable for applications. The mechanisms for these phenomena are proposed in detail.
Cu2Ta4O12 (CTaO) thin films were successfully deposited on Si(100) substrates by pulsed-laser deposition technique. The crystalline structure and the surface morphology of the CTaO thin films were strongly affected by substrate temperature, oxygen pressure and target - substrate distance. In general during deposition of CTaO the formation of a Ta2O5 phase appeared, on which CTaO grew with different orientations. We report on the experimental set-up, details for film deposition and the film properties determined by SEM, EDX and XRD.
Wires of sp-hybridized carbon atoms are attracting interest for both fundamental aspects of carbon science and for their appealing functional properties. The synthesis by physical vapor deposition has been reported to provide sp-rich carbon films but still needs to be further developed and understood in detail. Here the synthesis of carbon-atom wires (CAWs) has been achieved by nanosecond pulsed laser deposition (PLD) expoliting the strong out-of-equilibrium conditions occurring when the ablation plasma is confined in a background gas. Surface Enhnaced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of deposited films indicates that CAWs are mixed with a mainly $sp^2$ amorphous carbon in a $sp-sp^2$ hybrid material. Optimal conditions for the deposition of sp-carbon phase have been investigated by changing deposition parameters thus suggesting basic mechanisms of carbon wires formation. Our proof-of-concept may open new perspectives for the targeted fabrication of CAWs and $sp-sp^2$ structures.
