Summary: Atomic layer deposition of praseodymium oxide films allows for uniform doping of HfO2 films with non-uniform thicknesses. The absorption of oxygen in PrOx-rich material enhances ALD growth, leading to thickness gradients in thicker films. Pr-doping stabilizes the tetragonal form and improves photoluminescence efficiencies in HfO2 films.

Summary: Ferroelectric thin films based on ALD technology have been extensively studied as promising candidates for next-generation devices. By using a cyclopentadienyl-based precursor, Hf-Zr-O thin films can exhibit excellent ferroelectric properties without the need for additional post-thermal processing. This new strategy opens up possibilities for ferroelectric devices with specific processing temperature constraints.

Summary: We predict and realize a new magnetic and semiconducting material, MnSnN2, through combinatorial sputtering of thin films. MnSnN2 exhibits a wide composition tolerance, with a single-phase region of 20% < Mn/(Mn + Sn) < 65%. The material shows a wurtzite-like crystal structure with cation disorder and has an optical absorption onset of 1 eV, consistent with the computationally predicted 1.2 eV bandgap. Resistivity and Hall effect measurements confirm the semiconducting nature of MnSnN2 and reveal complex charge transport mechanisms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show a low-temperature magnetic ordering transition and strong antiferromagnetic correlations in MnSnN2, contrasting with previous studies on cation-ordered MnSiN2 and MnGeN2.

Summary: Tuning the photoluminescence properties of rare earth doped ferroelectric thin films is important for developing novel optical-electro devices. In this study, the effects of crystal orientation on the photoluminescence properties of (001), (011), and (111)-oriented Pr3+ doped Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.90Zr0.10O3 (BCTZ:Pr3+) thin films were investigated. The results show that the emission intensity is stronger in (001) and (111)-oriented films compared to (011)-oriented films, suggesting a dependence of photoluminescence on crystal orientation.

Summary: Thin-film ferroelectric doped hafnia (HYO) has shown promise as a non-volatile computer memory device due to its compatibility with CMOS. This study investigates the effect of oxygen vacancies on the ferroelectric properties of Y-doped HfO2 films. By using near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure analysis, the researchers were able to distinguish between orthorhombic ferroelectric and tetragonal paraelectric phases. The results show that introducing a certain concentration of oxygen vacancies in HYO films can control the phase composition and decrease the formation energy of the ferroelectric phase.

Summary: The Cr doping in Bi5CrxFe1-xTi3O15 films leads to changes in microstructure and electrical properties, with an increase in saturated polarization and a decrease in coercive field. The decrease in lattice aspect ratio promotes the alignment of ferroelectric dipoles, ultimately controlling the ferroelectricity of the thin films.

The structural and electro-optical properties of (In, Yb)(2)O-3 thin films were compared with those of In2O3 and Yb2O3 thin films. It was found that (In, Yb)(2)O-3 had a cubic bixbyite crystal structure with a lattice constant of 1.030 nm. The (In, Yb)(2)O-3 material was identified as a direct ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with a value of 4.11 eV.

Summary: The influence of film thickness on the formation of twinning structure, martensitic transformation, and magnetoelastic properties of epitaxial films of Ni(Co)MnSn magnetic shape memory alloy was investigated. It was found that constraints from the film/substrate interface block the martensitic transformation in the 20 nm thick film, but become possible starting from 50 nm. The formation of a submicron wide, stripe like, periodic structure of twins, controlled by the elastic energy balance between the film/substrate interface and the twin boundaries, is of interest for spintronic or magnonic applications.

Summary: This study focuses on manganese doped CdS thin films synthesized by chemical bath deposition. The incorporation of Mn2+ cations in CdS was found to influence the crystalline structure, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. Doped thin films exhibited a uniform hexagonal structure, changed growth orientation, and showed scale-like and needle-like morphologies. The bandgap and rectification speed of Schottky diodes were modified by introducing manganese. This study suggests the potential for affordable high-speed optoelectronic devices.

Summary: This study focuses on the corrosion characteristics of AA 7075 and AA 7075 based hybrid composite fabricated using stir casting and hot rolling techniques. The results show that the hybrid composite produced by hot cross rolling exhibits better corrosion resistance compared to the base metal. The addition of a small amount of graphite improves the bonding between the matrix and reinforcements, and the hot cross rolling enhances this bonding, leading to the formation of a strong passivation oxide layer and increased charge transfer resistance, thereby improving corrosion resistance.
