From metals to nitrides - Syntheses and reaction details of binary rare earth systems

High thermoelectric power factor in ambient-stable semiconducting rare-earth ErN thin films

Erbium nitride (ErN) is an emerging semiconducting rare-earth pnictide with unique electronic and magnetic properties. ErN has attracted significant interest for spin superlattices and spintronic…

Superconductivity in the ferromagnetic semiconductor samarium nitride

The discovery of materials that simultaneously host different phases of matter has often initially confounded, but ultimately enhanced, our basic understanding of the coexisting types of order. The…

Sublimation Growth and Characterization of Erbium Nitride Crystals

Erbium nitride (ErN) is a rare earth nitride notable for its magnetic and optical properties. Here we report on its growth on a non-native substrate, tungsten foil, via physical vapor transport, and…

Study on the Synthesis of HoN Nanoparticles and Magnetocaloric Effect as Magnetic Refrigerant for Hydrogen Re-Liquefaction

>> Rare-earth (RE) nitrides can be used as magnetocaloric materials in low temperature. They exhibit ferromagnetism and have Curie temperature in the region from 6 to 70 K. In this study, Holmium…

Magnetocaloric properties of TbN, DyN and HoN nanopowders prepared by the plasma arc discharge method.

TLDR
The synthesis of nanopowders of TbN, DyN and HoN crystallized in a cubic structure by the plasma arc discharge (PAD) method is reported for the first time and their magnetocaloric properties for magnetic refrigeration applications are investigated.

Luminescent Nd2S3 thin films: a new chemical vapour deposition route towards rare-earth sulphides.

TLDR
The process circumvents post-deposition treatments such as sulfurisation to fabricate the desired Nd2S3, which paves the way for large scale synthesis and also opens up new avenues for exploring the potential of this class of materials with properties for functional applications.

Rocksalt nitride metal/semiconductor superlattices: A new class of artificially structured materials

Artificially structured materials in the form of superlattice heterostructures enable the search for exotic new physics and novel device functionalities, and serve as tools to push the fundamentals…
