Solar hydrogen generation from spinel ZnFe2O4photocatalyst: effect of synthesis methods

“…no. 227) with the lattice constant a = 8.50 Å . However, they display notable differences in the crystallinity as shown in Figure .…”

Recent advances in processing and applications of microwave ferrites

“…The success of LPE in the growth of high-quality YIG films lead to similar LPE processing of spinel ferrite films. A number of spinel ferrites have been grown by LPE [55][56][57][58][59], but crystal quality and thickness of the films has yet to reach the level of the garnets. This may be due to crystal defects resulting from mismatches in substrate lattice parameters and/or thermal expansion coefficients.…”

Growth of Atomically Smooth Epitaxial Nickel Ferrite Films by Direct Liquid Injection CVD

“…[4][5][6] For instance, the magnetoelectric effect in magnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures is promising for tunable microwave devices, such as filters and phase shifters, offering much faster tuning response and lower power consumption. [7] A wide variety of thin film growth techniques have been developed and investigated in the past few decades for nickel ferrite (and with divalent cation substitutions), including chemical vapor transport, [8,9] CVD, [10][11][12][13][14] sputtering, [15] liquid-phase epitaxy, [16] spin-spray plating, [17] and pulsed laser deposition, [18][19][20][21][22] however the achievement of both high quality (structural, morphological, magnetic, and microwave properties) and thick (1-10 mm range) epitaxial films for microwave device applications remains challenging. [23,24] For instance, pulsed laser deposition of spinel ferrites has been investigated extensively due to the relative ease of stoichiometry control.…”
