Nitrogen fixation is a topic of continuing interest to researchers from generation to
generation. Owing to the unique characteristics of plasma, its application to nitrogen fixation …

We report electrical transport and optical spectroscopy measurements on LuN thin films
variously doped with nitrogen vacancies along with the computed band structures of …

SmN is an intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor with electrical transport properties that
have been of recent experimental interest. Its conductivity is largely dictated by the …

We present a study of polycrystalline thin films of the rock salt rare earth nitride GdN grown
on amorphous fused silica at ambient temperature with varying N 2 pressure. X-ray …

We investigate the previously observed superconductivity in ferromagnetic SmN in the
context of the breakdown of order between two magnetic phases. Nitrogen vacancy doped …

We demonstrate growth of epitaxial (100) SmN thin films directly on (100) Si surfaces. By
using physical vapor deposition of Sm metal in an N 2 atmosphere we show that careful …

The rare-earth nitride ferromagnetic semiconductors owe their varying magnetic properties
to the progressive filling of the 4 f shell across the series. Recent electrical transport …

The possibility of p-wave pairing in superconductors has been proposed more than five
decades ago, but has not yet been convincingly demonstrated. One difficulty is that some p …

The rare-earth nitrides form a series of structurally simple intrinsic ferromagnetic
semiconductors, a rare class of both fundamental interest and application potential. Within …

We report on the potential use of the intrinsic ferromagnetic rare earth nitride (REN)
semiconductors as ferromagnetic electrodes in tunnelling magnetoresistance and giant …
