چکیده
Gd(2)Sc(3)Ge(4) adopts the ortho-rhom-bic Pu(5)Rh(4)-type structure. The crystal structure contains six sites in the asymmetric unit: two sites are statistically occupied by rare-earth atoms with Gd:Sc ratios of 0.967 (4):0.033 (4) and 0.031 (3):0.969 (3), one site (.m. symmetry) is occupied by Sc atoms, and three distinct sites (two of which with .m. symmetry) are occupied by Ge atoms. The rare-earth atoms form two-dimensional slabs with Ge atoms occupying the trigonal-prismatic voids.

Self-Q-switched diode-end-pumped Cr,Nd:YAG laser with polarized output.
Passive Q switching of solid-state lasers is usually accomplished with organic dyes or color centers as the saturable absorber. Dyes, however, have poor thermal stability and tend to degrade rapidly. To operate in cw-pumped lasers, dyes require a circulation system. Color centers, such as the color-center LiF crystal, -3 exhibit a fading phenomenon that may limit the period of reliable operatio...
متن کاملFormation and Thermal Stability of Nickel Germanide on Germanium Substrate
The formation and thermal stability of nickel germanide on germanium substrate were examined by both electrical and physical characterization methods. Low resistivity (14 m cm) mono-nickel–germanide was formed at a low temperature of 400 C on Ge substrate. The sheet resistance of nickel germanide changed with the germanide formation temperatures and had a similar characteristic as nickel silici...
متن کاملEnhanced morphological and thermal stabilities of nickel germanide with an ultrathin tantalum layer studied by ex situ and in situ transmission electron microscopy.
The formation and morphological evolution of germanides formed in a ternary Ni/Ta-interlayer/Ge system were examined by ex situ and in situ annealing experiments. The Ni germanide film formed in the Ni/Ta-interlayer/Ge system maintained continuity up to 550°C, whereas agglomeration of the Ni germanide occurred in the Ni/Ge system without Ta-interlayer. Through microstructural and chemical analy...
متن کاملGarnet-to-perovskite transition in Gd3Sc2Ga3O12 at high pressure and high temperature.
The structural phase transition of gadolinium-scandium-gallium garnet (Gd(3)Sc(2)Ga(3)O(12), GSGG) has been studied at high pressure and high temperature using the synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. The GSGG garnet transformed to an orthorhombic perovskite structure at approximately 24 GPa after laser heating to 1500-2000 K. The garnet-to-perovskite ph...
