Retraction note to: J Mater Sci: Mater Electron (2014) 25:3141–3146 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10854-014-1995-y

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article due to irregularities in multiple figures in this article. Specifically:

• Figure 1 overlaps with and is described differently in Fig. 1 of a previously published article [1] with shared authors.

• Figure 2 appears to be identical to Fig. 4 of a previously published article [1] with shared authors.

The Editor-in-Chief has therefore lost confidence in the veracity of the results presented in this article.

A. E. Shalan does not agree to this retraction. M. Rasly and M. M. Rashad have not responded to any correspondence from the editor about this retraction.
