We have determined the crystal structure and the magnetic state of the CeFeSi intermetallic compound. Our revised structural model (fully ordered tetragonal unit cell, 4/) agrees with the previous literature report, except for some minor quantitative differences. Magnetically, the CeFeSi undergoes a ferromagnetic transition at the temperature ≈ 94 K.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research focused on creating two-dimensional oxide dodecagonal quasicrystals from thin films of SrTiO or BaTiO perovskites on a Pt(111) buffer layer.
  • The study discovered two new complex phases formed from the SrTiO film after high-temperature annealing, identifiable through techniques like low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy.
  • New phases include a large square approximant with a lattice parameter of 44.4 Å and a hexagonal approximant at 28 Å, both modeled using specific tiling patterns, and showing significant differences in their electronic structures.

Due to its high heat removal capability and exploitation of latent heat, boiling is considered to be one of the most effective cooling methods in industry. Surface structure and wettability are two factors imposing boiling phenomena. Here, we propose an effective and facile method for surface enhancement via crenarchaeon Sulfolobus Solfataricus P2 bio-coatings.
