چکیده

High-entropy perovskite thin films, as the prototypical representative of high-entropy oxides with novel electrical and magnetic features, have recently attracted great attention. Here, we reported electronic structure charge transport properties sol-gel-derived Ba(Zr0.2Sn0.2Ti0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2)O3 films annealed at various temperatures. By means X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy absorption spectrum, it is found that conduction-band-minimum shifts downward valence-band-maximum upward increase annealing temperature, leading to narrowed band gap. Electrical resistance measurements confirmed a semiconductor-like behavior for all films. Two mechanisms, i.e., thermally-activated mechanism high temperatures activation-less low temperatures, are identified by self-consistent analysis method. These findings provide critical insight into Ba(Zr0.2Sn0.2Ti0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2)O3, validating compelling oxide material future electronic/energy-related technologies.

Effects of UV irradiation treated polycarbonate substrates on properties of nanocrystalline TiO2 sol-gel derived thin films

In this study, in order to achieve effective coating of the homogeneous titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film, UV irradiation pre-treatment was carried out to activate PC surfaces before coating. Sol-gel-based nanocrystalline TiO2 thin films were prepared by employing tetrabutyl-titanate as a precursor. Nanocrystalline TiO2 thin films were deposited by sol-gel spin coating on the treated substrates...

Stress effects in sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin films

Residual stress development during processing of sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin films influences electromechanical properties and performance. The present work investigates the effects of stress on field-induced polarization switching in ferroelectric Pb~Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ~PZT! ~52/48! thin films. Film response is measured as a function of externally applied mechanical stress using a double-b...
