Two-dimensional quantum ferromagnet, magnetic chains, and oxygen ordering in La2NiO4.125 single crystals

Triclinic single crystals of Cu2(H2O)4[C4H4N2][C6H2(COO)4]·2H2O have been grown in anaqueous silica gel. Space group P-1 (Nr. 2), a = 723.94(7) pm, b = 813.38(14) pm, c = 931.0(2) pm, α = 74.24(2)°, β = 79.24(2)°, γ = 65.451(10)°, V = 0.47819(14) nm3, Z = 1. Cu2+ is coordinated in a distorted, octahedral manner by two water molecules, three oxygen atoms ofthe pyromellitate anions and one nitrogen atom of pyrazine (Cu—O 194.1(2)–229.3(3) pm;Cu–N 202.0(2) pm). The connection of Cu2+ and [C6H2(COO)4)]4− yields infinite strands,which are linked by pyrazine molecules to form a two-dimensional coordination polymer.Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the dehydrated compound was stable between175 and 248 °C. Further heating yielded CuO.

Single crystals of Eu2PdSi3 were obtained from an arc-melted sample that was further annealed at 1020 K for seven days in a silica tube. The structure of Eu2PdSi3 was refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: P6/mmm, a = 831.88(12), c = 435.88(9) pm, wR2 = 0.1175, 265 F2 values, and 13 variable parameters. It crystallizes with the U2RuSi3 structure, a superstructure of the AlB2 type. The palladium and silicon atoms form a planar two-dimensional [PdSi3] network. The two crystallographically different europium atoms have hexagonal prismatic coordinations Eu1Si12 and Eu2Pd4Si8. The Pd-Si and Si-Si distances within the [PdSi3] network are 244 and 236 pm, respectively.

Abstract The past several decades have witnessed a vast array of developments in printable organic semiconductors, where successes both in synthetic chemistry and in printing technology constituted a key step forward to realization of printed electronics. In this review, we highlight specifically on materials science, charge transport, and device engineering of —two-dimensional single crystals—. Defect-free organic single-crystalline wafers manufactured via a one-shot printing process allows remarkably reliable implementations of organic thin-film transistors with decently high carrier mobility up to 10 cm2 V-1 s-1, which has revolutionized the current printing electronics to be able to meet looming IoT challenges. This review focuses on the perspective of printing two-dimensional single crystals with reasonable areal coverage, showing their promising applications for practical devices and future human society, particularly based on our recent contributions.

Extra Stress

Growth hillocks on the {100} faces of L-arginine phosphate monohydrate (LAP) single crystals grown at 25°C and at a supersaturation of 0.32 have been discussed. The typical dislocation growth hillocks are lopsided and elongate along the b direction. The dislocation sources are probably caused by the extra stress field which is introduced by the hollow cavities distributing on the steps and hillocks generated by the two-dimensional nucleus. The elongated shape is due to the characteristic structure of the LAP crystal. Apart from that, the formation of the lopsided growth hillocks is explained by the liquid flow theory.
