The new trans-[Pt(4-mpy)2Cl4] (1) complex (4-mpy is 4-methylpyridine) was prepared from the reaction of H2PtCl6.6H2O with 4-methylpyridine in methanol. Synthesized complex was thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.Elemental analysis data (C, H, N) support the general composition of the title complex and the structure have been established by single-crystal X...

 In this paper, Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) thin films were deposited on single crystal SrTiO3 (STO) (100) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique at different pressures of oxygen. Crystal structure of bulk and thin film samples was studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results indicate that both bulk and thin film samples have cubic structures. AFM micrographs showed an increase i...
