Thermodynamic Phase

ABSTRACTEpitaxial thin films of three different Pt-Ga intermetallic compounds have been grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The resultant films have been annealed at various temperatures and then examined using X-ray two-theta diffraction. Both PtGa2 and PtGa thin films are chemically stable on GaAs under 1 atmosphere of N2 up to 450°C and 600°C, respectively. Thin films of Pt2Ga react with GaAs at temperatures as low as 200°C to form phases with higher Ga concentration.

Common Area

Aperiodic formations continue to focus interest in areas ranging from advanced scientific theories to practical everyday applications. Starting from diverse and tightly bonded intermetallic compounds, this world showed an important breakthrough toward the so-called soft systems of meso/macroscale: liquid crystals, thin films, polymers, proteins, etc. This work opens a route for making bulk quasicrystals (QC) in an unprecedented but very common area, with molecular ligands. Since these systems are, to a large extent, transparent, they extend the possible areas of QC application to previously unreachable corners, e.g., photonics. We combined efficient bridging ligands with uranyl pentagonal bonding centers and, unexpectedly, brought the unique attributes of f-element coordination chemistry to an interdisciplinary area of aperiodic formations. Taking advantage of the planar coordination of uranyl ions, we were able to direct the structure expansion solely in two directions with a characteristic snub square tiling, a predicted but previously unobtainable dodecagonal approximant.
