High Throughput X-ray Diffractometer for Combinatorial Epitaxial Thin Films
We report on the development of a high throughput x-ray diffractometer that concurrently measures spatially resolved x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of epitaxial thin films integrated on a substrate. A converg...

Control of the Polarity and Surface Morphology of GaN Films Deposited on C-Plane Sapphire
Control of the polarity of GaN films deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition was achieved by substrate nitridation and subsequent annealing of a buffer layer. The surface morphology and optical pro...

Observation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in an oxide
The fabrication of oxide thin-film heterostructures has improved considerably over the past few years. The first demonstration of the fractional quantum Hall effect in an oxide now attests to the potential of ...

Electric-field-induced superconductivity in an insulator
Increasing the carrier density of a material to the limit at which superconductivity can be induced has been a long-standing challenge. This is now realized in an insulator by using an electric-double-layer ga...

Epitaxial Growth and Transport Properties of High-Mobility ZnO-Based Heterostructures
Optimization of growth conditions is most important for extracting desired material properties, but it always requires time-consuming experiments. The temperature gradient method was applied for high-throughpu...

Transmission Electron Microscopy Study of Room Temperature Lasing Epitaxial ZnO Films on Sapphire
We have studied the microstructures of lasing and non-lasing ZnO films on sapphire in plan-view and cross-section by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). While ZnO films in general are made up of cloumnar c...

Materials Aspects of Oxide Superconductors - Effect of Ambient Water on Superconductivity-
It has been found that the chemical instability of Ba2LnCu3O7 causes some problems in the measurements of critical temperature and creates a highly resistive grain boundary contact which is the major cause of the...

Abnormal grain growth behavior of an Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Superalloy
To obtain a superior high temperature creep strength, the transformation of fine-grained structure to large elongated grains by abnormal grain growth is an important process for oxide dispersion strengthened s...
