The mechanisms controlling the growth rate and composition of epitaxial CdTe and CdZnTe films were studied. The films were grown by isothermal closed space configuration technique. A GaAs 100 substrate was exposed sequentially to the elemental sources, Zn, Te, and Cd, in isothermal conditions. While growth of ZnTe followed an atomic layer epitaxy, ALE, regime self regulated at one monolayer per cycle; the CdTe films revealed different growth rates in dependence of the growth parameters,exposure and purge times. Combination of short purge times and larger Cd exposure times led to not self regulated growth regime for CdTe. This is ascribed to large Cd coverages that were dependent on Cd exposure times, following a Brunauer-Emmett and Teller-type adsorption. However, for longer purge times and or short Cd exposure times, an ALE self regulated regime was achieved with 2 ML per cycle. In this sense, the self-regulation of the growth is limited by desorption, instead of absorption, as in the traditional growth technique. Cd atoms substitution by Zn atoms and subsequent evaporation of surface Cd atoms during Zn exposure has been proved. The influence of these facts on the growth and composition of the alloy is discussed.

In this study, the suitability of zeolite as a possible medium for ammonium adsorption, desorption and recovery from wastewater was investigated. Specifically, batch adsorption and desorption studies with solutions enriched in NH$_4^+$ were conducted
employing zeolite to evaluate how the chemical treatment and contact time affect adsorption and desorption. Several experimental tests were carried out considering both untreated and treated zeolite. Untreated and HCl-Na treated zeolite adsorbed up to 11.8 mg NH$_4^+$ g$^{-1}$ and showed the highest efficiency in recovering NH$_4^+$ from aqueous solution. Regardless of pre-treatment, treatments with NaCl resulted in higher and faster adsorption of NH$_4^+$ than treatments with CaCl$_2$ and MgCl$_2$.
We report on the use of time-resolved optical ellipsometry to monitor the deposition of single atomic layers with subatomic sensitivity. Ruddlesden-Popper thin films of SrO(SrTiO3)n=4 were grown by means of metalorganic aerosol deposition in the atom
ic layer epitaxy mode on SrTiO3(100), LSAT(100) and DyScO3(110) substrates. The measured time dependences of ellipsometric angles, ${Delta}(t)$ and ${Psi}(t)$, were described by using a simple optical model, considering the sequence of atomic layers SrO and TiO2 with corresponding bulk refractive indices. As a result, valuable online information on the growth process, the film structure and defects were obtained. Ex situ characterization techniques, i.e. transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X- ray reflectometry (XRR) verify the crystal structure and confirm the predictions of optical ellipsometry.
We show how the path-integral formulation of quantum statistical mechanics can be used to construct practical {em ab initio} techniques for computing the chemical potential of molecules adsorbed on surfaces, with full inclusion of quantum nuclear eff
ects. The techniques we describe are based on the computation of the potential of mean force on a chosen molecule, and generalise the techniques developed recently for classical nuclei. We present practical calculations based on density functional theory with a generalised-gradient exchange-correlation functional for the case of H$_2$O on the MgO~(001) surface at low coverage. We note that the very high vibrational frequencies of the H$_2$O molecule would normally require very large numbers of time slices (beads) in path-integral calculations, but we show that this requirement can be dramatically reduced by employing the idea of thermodynamic integration with respect to the number of beads. The validity and correctness of our path-integral calculations on the H$_2$O/MgO~(001) system are demonstrated by supporting calculations on a set of simple model systems for which quantum contributions to the free energy are known exactly from analytic arguments.
We report plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) to prepare conformal nickel thin films and nanotubes by using nickelocene as a precursor, water as the oxidant agent and an in-cycle plasma enhanced reduction step with hydrogen. The optimized A
LD pulse sequence, combined with a post-processing annealing treatment, allowed us to prepare 30 nm thick metallic Ni layers with a resistivity of 8 $muOmega$cm at room temperature and good conformality both on the planar substrates and nanotemplates. Thereby we fabricated several micrometer-long nickel nanotubes with diameters ranging from 120 to 330 nm. We report on the correlation between ALD growth and functional properties of individual Ni nanotubes characterized in terms of magneto-transport and the confinement of spin wave modes. The findings offer novel perspectives for Ni-based spintronics and magnonic devices operated in the GHz frequency regime with a 3D device architecture.
In this letter we present photoluminescence measurements with different excitation energies on single-layer MoS$_2$ and MoSe$_2$ in order to examine the resonance behavior of the conservation of circular polarization in these transition metal dichalc
ogenides. We find that the circular polarization of the emitted light is conserved to 100% in MoS$_2$ and 84% / 79% (A/A$^-$ peaks) in MoSe$_2$ close to resonance. The values for MoSe$_2$ surpass any previously reported value. However, in contrast to previous predictions, the degree of circular polarization decreases clearly at energies less than the two-phonon longitudinal acoustic phonon energy above the resonance. Our findings indicate that at least two competing processes underly the depolarization of the emission in single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides.
