B-doped $delta$-layers were fabricated in Si(100) using BCl$_{3}$ as a dopant precursor in ultrahigh vacuum. BCl$_{3}$ adsorbed readily at room temperature, as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging. Annealing at elevated temperatures facilitated B incorporation into the Si substrate. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth profiling demonstrated a peak B concentration $>$ 1.2(1) $times$ 10$^{21}$ cm$^{-3}$ with a total areal dose of 1.85(1) $times$ 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$ resulting from a 30 L BCl$_{3}$ dose at 150 $^{circ}$C. Hall bar measurements of a similar sample were performed at 3.0 K revealing a sheet resistance of $R_{mathrm{s}}$ = 1.91 k$Omegasquare^{-1}$, a hole concentration of $n$ = 1.90 $times$ 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$ and a hole mobility of $mu$ = 38.0 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ without performing an incorporation anneal. Further, the conductivity of several B-doped $delta$-layers showed a log dependence on temperature suggestive of a two-dimensional system. Selective-area deposition of BCl$_{3}$ was also demonstrated using both H- and Cl-based monatomic resists. In comparison to a dosed area on bare Si, adsorption selectivity ratios for H and Cl resists were determined by SIMS to be 310(10):1 and 1529(5):1, respectively, further validating the use of BCl$_{3}$ as a dopant precursor for atomic precision fabrication of acceptor-doped devices in Si.

Two-dimensional crystals are an important class of materials for novel physics, chemistry, and engineering. Germanane (GeH), the germanium-based analogue of graphane (CH), is of particular interest due to its direct band gap and spin-orbit coupling. Here, we report the successful co-deposition growth of CaGe2 films on Ge(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and their subsequent conversion to germanane by immersion in hydrochloric acid. We find that the growth of CaGe2 occurs within an adsorption-limited growth regime, which ensures stoichiometry of the film. We utilize in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) to explore the growth temperature window and find the best RHEED patterns at 750 {deg}C. Finally, the CaGe2 films are immersed in hydrochloric acid to convert the films to germanane. Auger electron spectroscopy of the resulting film indicates the removal of Ca and RHEED patterns indicate a single-crystal film with in-plane orientation dictated by the underlying Ge(111) substrate. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy indicate that the resulting films are indeed germanane. Ex situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows that the grain size of the germanane is on the order of a few micrometers, being primarily limited by terraces induced by the miscut of the Ge substrate. Thus, optimization of the substrate could lead to the long-term goal of large area germanane films.

We report a detailed study of surface and interface properties of pulsed-laser deposited NiMnSb films on Si (100) substrate as a function of film thickness. As the thickness of films is reduced below 35 nm formation of a porous layer is observed. Por osity in this layer increases with decrease in NiMnSb film thickness. These morphological changes of the ultra thin films are reflected in the interesting transport and magnetic properties of these films. On the other hand, there are no influences of compositional in-homogeneity and surface/interface roughness on the magnetic and transport properties of the films.
Area-selective atomic layer deposition is a key technology for modern microelectronics as it eliminates alignment errors inherent to conventional approaches by enabling material deposition only in specific areas. Typically, the selectivity originates from surface modifications of the substrate that allow or block precursor adsorption. The control of the deposition process currently remains a major challenge as the selectivity of the no-growth areas is lost quickly. Here, we show that surface modifications of the substrate strongly manipulate the surface diffusion. The selective deposition of TiO$_2$ on poly (methyl methacrylate) and SiO$_2$ yields localized nanostructures with tailored aspect ratios. Controlling the surface diffusion allows to tune such nanostructures as it boosts the growth rate at the interface of the growth and no-growth areas. Kinetic Monte-Carlo calculations reveal that species move from high to low diffusion areas. Further, we identify the catalytic activity of TiCl$_4$ during the formation of carboxylic acid on poly (methyl methacrylate) as the reaction mechanism responsible for the loss of selectivity, and show that process optimization leads to higher selectivity. Our work enables the precise control of area-selective atomic layer deposition on the nanoscale, and offers new strategies in area-selective deposition processes by exploiting surface diffusion effects.
The charge ordered La$_{1/3}$Sr$_{2/3}$FeO$_{3-delta}$ (LSFO) in bulk and nanocrystalline forms are investigated using ac and dc magnetization, M{o}ssbauer, and polarised neutron studies. A complex scenario of short range charge and magnetic ordering is realized from the polarised neutron studies in nanocrystalline specimen. This short range ordering does not involve any change in spin state and modification in the charge disproportion between Fe$^{3+}$ and Fe$^{5+}$ compared to bulk counterpart as evident in the M{o}ssbauer results. The refinement of magnetic diffraction peaks provides magnetic moments of Fe$^{3+}$ and Fe$^{5+}$ are about 3.15$mu_B$ and 1.57$mu_B$ for bulk, and 2.7$mu_B$ and 0.53$mu_B$ for nanocrystalline specimen, respectively. The destabilization of charge ordering leads to magnetic phase separation, giving rise to the robust exchange bias (EB) effect. Strikingly, EB field at 5 K attains a value as high as 4.4 kOe for average size $sim$ 70 nm, which is zero for the bulk counterpart. A strong frequency dependence of ac susceptibility reveals cluster-glass like transition around $sim$ 65 K, below which EB appears. Overall results propose that finite size effect directs the complex glassy magnetic behavior driven by unconventional short range charge and magnetic ordering, and magnetic phase separation appears in nanocrystalline LSFO.

We introduce a simple method of an MgB2 film preparation using sequential electron-beam evaporation of B-Mg two-layer (followed by in-situ annealing) on the NbN buffered Si(100) substrate. The Transmission Electron Microscopy analyses confirm a growt h of homogeneous nanogranular MgB2 films without the presence of crystalline MgO. A sensitive measurement of temperature dependence of microwave losses shows a presence of intergranular weak links close the superconducting transition only. The MgB2 films obtained, about 200 nm thick, exhibit a maximum zero resistance critical temperature of 36 K and critical current density of 3x10^7 A/cm^2 at 13.2 K
