A kinetically controlled synthesis has yielded a novel strontium-iron oxide with an unusual structure. The study, reported in Nature (2007, 450, 1062), may lead to new types of materials with useful ...

THE part which strontium oxide plays in the functioning of the oxide cathode is not well understood ; a suitable model of the combined barium and strontium oxides on the band theory is still not ...

Crystalline films of technologically useful oxide materials have been grown by a method based on surface-modified substrates. Unlike usual oxide films, these can be easily transferred to any material.
