The study of radiation paramagnetic centres (RPC) arising in flux-grown KTiOPO 4 (KTP) single crystals at X-ray-irradiation at 300 K was conducted by the ESR-method in the temperature range of 3.7÷300 K . For the first time in X-ray-irradiated KTP there were found electron and hole RPC stable at room temperature and related to Ti 3+ and Al 3+ impurity, respectively.

The crystal structure of the benzene monosolvate of the well known organic diphosphite ligand BIPHEPHOS, C46H44O8P2·C6H6, is reported for the first time. Single crystals of BIPHEPHOS were obtained from a benzene solution after layering with n-heptane at room temperature. One specific property of this type of diphosphite structure is the twisting of the biphenyl units. In the crystal, C—H...π contacts and π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.8941 (15) Å] are observed.

A unique method was developed to significantly improve the strength of Bi(1−x)Sbx single crystals, the most effective thermoelectric (TE) materials in the temperature range from 100 to 200 K due to their plastic deformation by extrusion. After plastic deformation at room temperature under all-round hydrostatic compression in a liquid medium, n-type Bi–Sb polycrystalline solid solutions show a significant increase in mechanical strength compared to Bi–Sb single crystals in the temperature range from 300 to 80 K. The significantly higher strength of extruded alloys in comparison with Bi–Sb single crystals is associated with the development of numerous grains with a high boundary surface as well as structural defects, such as dislocations, that accumulate at grain boundaries. Significant stability of the structure of extruded samples is achieved due to the uniformity of crystal plastic deformation under all-round hydrostatic compression and the formation of the polycrystalline structure consisting of grains with the orientation of the main crystallographic directions close to the original single crystal. The strengthening of Bi–Sb single crystals after plastic deformation allows for the first time to create workable TE devices that cannot be created on the basis of single crystals that have excellent TE properties, but low strength.

A transition metal ion Cr4+(3d2 spins) doped ZrO2 of small crystallites presents tailored magnetic, electrical and optical properties useful for magnetodielectric and spintronic applications. A liquid polymer precursor gel (Cr4+ and Zr4+ complex with glycerol) when heated in an autoclave at a small pressure 0.6-0.7 atm at 420–470 K results in a compound Zr0.8Cr0.2O2 with an average 5 nm crystallite size of a stabilized cubic (c)-ZrO2-type phase (after 2 h annealing at 773 K in air). A broad Raman band is observed at ~300 cm-1 in acoustic and transverse optic phonons characteristic of the c-ZrO2-type structure, with a prominent O–Cr–O stretching band at 878 cm-1 in a ferromagnetic order. A CrO2/Cr2O3 surface layer exhibits two weak bands at ~1011 cm-1 and 1032 cm-1. The sample exhibits an ‘S’-shaped ferromagnetic hysteresis loop (does not saturate below 60 kOe fields) at 5 K, with a magnetization M = 85.79 emu/g (in the CrO2 part) at 60 kOe and coercivity Hc = 100 Oe. With warming above 5 K, the loop converges progressively with only a weak ferromagnetism at room temperature, M = 9.08 emu/g and Hc = 54.2 Oe. As a pinning barrier, the uncompensated spins in the surface layer supports coercivity at low temperature. A model magnetic structure describes the magnetic properties in correlation to the microstructure.
