Transition of amorphous to crystalline oxide film in initial oxide overgrowth on liquid metals [PDF]
It is important to understand the mechanism of oxidation in the initial stage on the free surface of liquid metals. Mittemeijer and co-workers recently developed a thermodynamic model to study the oxide overgrowth on a solid metal surface.

Conducting interfaces between amorphous oxide layers and SrTiO3(110) and SrTiO3(111) [PDF]
Interfaces between (110) and (111)SrTiO3 (STO) single crystalline substrates and amorphous oxide layers, LaAlO3 (a-LAO), Y:ZrO2 (a-YSZ), and SrTiO3 (a-STO) become conducting above a critical thickness tc.

Electromagnetic Vibration and Noise Comparison of Amorphous Metal PMSMs and Silicon Steel PMSMs
This paper investigates the differences in the electromagnetic vibration and noise of an amorphous metal (AM) permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) and silicon steel (SS) PMSMs. The electromagnetic vibration and noise of an AM PMSM and an SS PMSM

Vortices and quasiparticles near the "superconductor-insulator" transition in thin films [PDF]
We study the low temperature behavior of an amorphous superconducting film driven normal by a perpendicular magnetic field (B). For this purpose we introduce a new two-fluid formulation consisting of fermionized field induced vortices and electrically ...

Frustrated flexibility in metal-organic frameworks
Responsiveness in metal-organic frameworks involving amorphous phases remains poorly understood. Here, the authors demonstrate MOFs that reversibly switch between well-defined crystalline and structurally degenerate amorphous states mediated by competing
