What is special about this study is that for the first time, the ordering of lead continues to several layers. This shows that three-dimensional quasicrystallinity can b...

Intermetallic type-I clathrates continue to attract attention as promising thermoelectric (TE) materials, which transfer waste heat into useful electricity and thus could...

Understanding how the heat propagates in a material is a key issue in many different fields. For application such as nano and micro technology, heat dissipation is a key ...

A comparative study has been performed on the adsorption of structurally related but stereochemically different C60 and C20H10 molecules on the 5-fold surface of the icos...

The detailed atomic structure of the binary icosahedral i-ScZn7.33 quasicrystal has been investigated by means of high-resolution synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffrac...

The cage compound Ba3Ge16Ir4 crystallizes with the Ba3Ge16Rh4 type of crystal structure, which represents a hierarchical derivative of the BaAl4 type. The crystal structu...

HAADF STEM is performed along the low index zone axes of the o-Al4(Cr,Fe) complex metallic alloy to obtain a real space representation of the crystal structure and to elu...

A non-destructive HAXPES characterisation of the passivation layers formed by electrochemical polarisation of Al-Cr-Fe complex metallic alloys has been performed to unvei...

Self-organized molecular films with long-range quasiperiodic order have been successfully grown by using the complex potential energy landscape of quasicrystalline surfac...

A paradigm for the one-step formation of complex intermetallic coatings by chemical vapor deposition has recently been published by CNRS in Toulouse.

Thermoelectric devices can directly convert thermal energy to electricity or pump heat up a temperature gradient. They are increasingly used as low-power power generators...

Intermetallic clathrates are so called cage compounds. Their structure can be described by a host framework, consisting of large cages, which enclose heavy guest atoms .

Quasiscrystals are materials in which the atoms are arranged in such a manner that long range order is maintained, however, without periodicity, and thus in contrast to c...

Chemists don't like precious metals – at least not when they need the expensive materials as catalysts to accelerate reactions or guide them in a particular direction.
