Roadmap for Emerging Materials for Spintronic Device Applications

Organic pyroelectric materials for device applications

The wide range of applications of thermal imaging devices existing in military, industrial and space fields attract researchers to study pyroelectric materials which exhibit a temperature-dependent spontaneous polarisation. A brief review of pyroelectricity, pyroelectric materials and some commercial applications of these materials we will be given in this paper.

Lanthanide-doped upconversion materials: emerging applications for photovoltaics and photocatalysis.

Photovoltaics and photocatalysis are two significant applications of clean and sustainable solar energy, albeit constrained by their inability to harvest the infrared spectrum of solar radiation. Lanthanide-doped materials are particularly promising in this regard, with tunable absorption in the infrared region and the ability to convert the long-wavelength excitation into shorter-wavelength li...
