Article Synopsis
  • - Topotactic reduction is essential for phase transitions like the synthesis of the superconducting nickelate NdSrNiO, which is created from a NdSrNiO/SrTiO structure, but it's difficult to replicate due to its sensitive nature.
  • - Research using synchrotron techniques shows that a thin surface layer on NdSrNiO is crucial for facilitating hydrogen introduction, removing apical oxygens, and stabilizing the structure without causing defects.
  • - The study finds no significant geometric changes or hydrogen incorporation in the films affecting superconductivity, highlighting key structural aspects that can guide future work in nickelate superconductors.

Article Synopsis
  • Conventional epitaxy is essential in semiconductor technology, allowing precise atomic-scale control over thin films and nanostructures for applications in nanoelectronics and sensors.
  • "Van der Waals" (vdW) and "quasi-vdW (Q-vdW)" epitaxy describe the weaker interactions during the growth of 2D materials on various substrates, with intense research focused on layer growth of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) on sapphire.
  • This study investigates the growth of WS using a metal-seeding step in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system, revealing how an interfacial layer affects the epitaxial growth of semiconductor layers, which may inform the design of
