Changes in structure and conduction type upon addition of Ir to ZnO thin films
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)Zn-Ir-O (Zn/Ir ≈ 1/1) thin films have been reported to be a potential p-type TCO material. It is, however, unknown whether it is possible to achieve p-type conductivity at low Ir content, and how the type and the magnitude ... -
Chapter 8: EPR in glass ceramics
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)The development of novel materials requires a profound understanding of the relationship between a material's performance and its structural properties. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a well-established technique ... -
Characterization of CdxTeyOz/CdS/ZnO Heterostructures Synthesized by the SILAR Method

Characterization of electrospun poly(lactide) composites containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019)The main aim of this work was to obtain conductive polymer-based materials by incorporation of different amounts of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into poly(lactide)(PLA) using the electrospinning technique. Fiber-based ... -
Characterization of Mechanical Oscillations in Bismuth Selenide Nanowires at Low Temperatures
(MDPIO, 2023)A single transistor preamplifier circuit was designed to facilitate electrical detection of mechanical oscillations in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMSs) at low temperatures. The amplifier was integrated in the close ... -
Characterization of Structural Stability of Magnetron Sputtered Tungsten-boron Thin Films at Elevated Temperatures
(Kaunas University of Technology, 2023)In the divertor of the tokamak type fusion reactors tungsten and tungsten-covered plasma facing materials are currently among the selected materials. However, metallic, high-Z plasma facing materials require plasma mitigation. ... -
Chemical-state analyses of Ni, Zn, and W ions in NiWO4–ZnWO4 solid solutions by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2022)The chemical states of Ni, Zn, and W in microcrystalline NiWO4–ZnWO4 solid solutions were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The recorded spectra of the Ni 2p, Zn 2p, and W 4f photoelectron lines and Ni L2M23M45, ... -
Chlorine Adsorption on TiO2(110)/Water Interface: Nonadiabatic Molecular Dynamics Simulations for Photocatalytic Water Splitting
(MDPI, 2023)Chloride is one of the most abundant ions in sea water, which is more available than fresh water. Due to lack of H2O adsorbate states near the valence band maximum (VBM) edge, the difficulty of water dissociation incidents ... -
Cladding-Pumped Er/Yb-Co-Doped Fiber Amplifier for Multi-Channel Operation
(MDPI, 2022)Cladding-pumped erbium (Er3+)/ytterbium (Yb3+)-co-doped fiber amplifiers are more advantageous at high output powers. However, this amplification technique also has potential in telecom-related applications. These types ... -
Cladding-Pumped Erbium/Ytterbium Co-Doped Fiber Amplifier for C-Band Operation in Optical Networks
(MDPI, 2021)Space-division multiplexing (SDM) attracts attention to cladding-pumped optical amplifiers, but they suffer from a low pump power conversion efficiency. To address this issue, ytterbium (Yb3+) and erbium (Er3+) co-doping ... -
