Nanometric laminar two-dimensional artificial multiferroic oxide thin films can be elaborated using spinel ferrites and perovskite ferroelectrics like CoFe2O4 and BaTiO3. Such materials can retain their individual ferromagnetic or ferroelectric properties. In the thin epitaxial film regime a cross coupling of these properties is possible thanks to strain engineering. After introducing the concepts supporting artificial multiferroic laminar structures, the growth of strained BaTiO3 thin films and the growth of subsequent Co-ferrites layers will be detailed. With respect to the relative film thickness, a detailed understanding of the elastic behavior of these films will be proposed based on the characterization using several synchrotron radiation techniques including x-ray specular and off-specular diffraction, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, as well as x-ray magnetic circular dichroism.

AbstractCeO2 thin films were irradiated with 200MeV Xe ions. Effects of the irradiation were studied by using Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurement at SPring8 synchrotron radiation facility. EXAFS spectra for the irradiated thin films near the Ce K-edge show that the coordination number for oxygen atoms around Ce atom decreases and that the Ce-O Debye-Waller factor increases by the irradiation. The atomic distance between oxygen atom and Ce atom does not vary within the accuracy of EXAFS measurement. The effect of high density electronic excitation on the structure of CeO2 is discussed.

This review updates the recent advances and applications of three prominent synchrotron radiation techniques, microprobe X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy/imaging, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and infrared microspectroscopy, and highlights how these tools are useful to the medicinal chemist. A brief description of the principles of the techniques is given with emphasis on the advantages of using synchrotron radiation-based instrumentation rather than instruments using typical laboratory radiation sources. This review focuses on several recent applications of these techniques to solve inorganic medicinal chemistry problems, focusing on studies of cellular uptake, distribution, and biotransformation of established and potential therapeutic agents. The importance of using these synchrotron-based techniques to assist the development of, or validate the chemistry behind, drug design is discussed.

Investigation has been made on atomic, electronic structures and magnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) on Si substrate. The effect of different thickness of LSMO and different morphological [flat and nano-pyramid (NP)] of Si substrate are studied in present work. The result of Mn K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure indicates the more disorder of local atomic structure of first shell (Mn-O bound) in the thinner LSMO/Si film. The Mn L3,2-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure shows the presence of Mn2+ ion on the sample. Furthermore, the Mn L3,2-edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism reveals that the thinner film (LSMO/Si) has highest magnetic moment, in comparison to that of thick LSMO/Si and LSMO/Si-NP samples. This finding suggests that the appearance Mn2+ may play an important role in magnetic behavior of hetero-junction LSMnO/Si and Si-NP.
