Linking Isotope Exchange with Fe(II)-Catalyzed Dissolution of Iron(hydr)oxides in the Presence of the Bacterial Siderophore Desferrioxamine-B

Janet Gordon Hering

Dissolution of Fe(III) phases is a key process in making iron available to biota and in the mobilization of associated trace elements. Recently, we have demonstrated that submicromolar concentrations of Fe(II) significantly accelerate rates of ligand-contr ...

Interface-Dominated Time-Dependent Behavior of Poled Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride–Trifluoroethylene)/Barium Titanate Composites

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Sara Dalle Vacche

Composites in which particles of ferroelectric ceramic phase are randomly dispersed in a polymeric matrix are of interest because of flexibility, conformability, and ease of processing. However, their piezoelectric properties are rather low, unless very hi ...

Formation and stabilization of all-inorganic perovskites for photovoltaics

Zaiwei Wang

All-inorganic perovskite films hold promise for improving stability of perovskite solar cells. However, the desirable narrow-bandgap inorganic perovskites (such as CsPbI3 and CsPbI2Br) are suffering from the thermodynamic phase instability, as the photoact ...

Surface Kinetics of Titanium Isopropoxide in Chemical Vapor Deposition of Titanium Dioxide and Barium Titanate

Michael Oliver Reinke

All chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes rely on the adsorption and decomposition of precursors on a substrate to deposit the desired material. The growth rate of the film is determined by the surface kinetics of the utilized precursor molecules and g ...

Aging in the relaxor and ferroelectric state of Fe-doped (1-x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBaTiO3 piezoelectric ceramics

Dragan Damjanovic

Aging of piezoelectric properties was investigated in lead-free (1 - x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBaTiO(3) doped with 1at.% Fe. The relaxor character of the un-poled material prevents macroscopic aging effects, while in the field-induced ferroelectric phase aging p ...
