2D Magnetic and Topological Quantum Materials and Devices for Ultralow Power Spintronics

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 44, 1 June 2026.
2D magnets and topological quantum materials enable ultralow‐power spintronics by combining robust magnetic order with symmetry‐protected, Berry‐curvature‐driven transport. Fundamentals of 2D anisotropy and spin‐orbit‐coupling induced band inversion are linked to scalable growth and vdW stacking.

Growth of CdMnTe free of large Te inclusions using the vertical Bridgman technique [PDF]

Journal of Crystal Growth, 2019
Abstract We grew Cd1-xMnxTe crystals with a nominal composition of 5% Mn and 95% Cd using the vertical Bridgman technique. We were able to grow crystals from as-received starting material that were free of secondary phases, such as Te inclusions with a size > 1-µm diameter, without adding compensating Cd to the initial charge.

X-ray scattering studies of compound semiconductors [PDF]

, 1997
In this thesis, techniques of high resolution x-ray diffraction, topography and grazing incidence reflectivity have been employed in order to gain information on compound semiconductors. A recent growth technique. Vertical Gradient Freeze (VGF), has been

Microstructure Evolution in Directionally Solidified Fe–C–Mn–(Si) Peritectic Steels

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 6, Page 3133-3142, June 2026.
This study investigates how growth velocity and silicon additions affect dendritic morphology, primary arm spacing, and mushy‐zone evolution in directionally solidified quaternary peritectic steels. Silicon substantially broadens the freezing range and lengthens the mushy zone, increasing susceptibility to interdendritic cracking.

The Importance of Microstructure When Gauging the Efficacy of Pulse Poling in Perovskite Single Crystals

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Perovskite PMN‐PZT single crystals grown via solid‐state crystal growth (SSCG) were subjected to the pulse poling process to boost piezoelectric performance. Pulse poling subjects samples to short pulses of electric field in rapid succession and has previously demonstrated vast property improvements in Bridgman‐grown single crystals by driving

Single crystal growth of LuAlO3-Ti3+ and Al2O3-Ti3+ by the vertical Bridgman technique and their optical properties

, 1994
A selective self-seeding process has been used to grow optical quality LuAlO3-Ti3+ single crystals in the vertical Bridgman configuration. Thermal conditions of melt preparation and crystal cooling are discussed in respect to their affecting the solid ...

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 40, 18 May 2026.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Spectroscopic response of CZT detectors obtained by the boron encapsulated vertical Bridgman method [PDF]

, 2008
The purpose of this paper is to present the spectral response at different energies of some CZT crystals grown with the boron oxide encapsulated vertical Bridgman method by IMEM-CNR. The most important feature of the technique is that the crystal, during

Ga Doping Enables Precision Alloy‐to‐Wire Regulation: Synergistic Enhancement of the Mechanical Properties of CuSn Alloy and the Superconducting Properties of Nb3Sn

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
By adjusting Ga's doping in Cu–Sn alloy, an ultra‐high elongation of 100.8% is achieved in first time. Ga forms a stable solid solution structure and a stronger electron exchange with Cu. This enhances strength‐ductility synergistically by tuning SFE to balance twinning and slip.
