Summary: A chemical solution deposition method has been developed in this study to promote the formation of high-pressure perovskite films by applying external compressive stress. The resulting BFCO perovskite films exhibit narrow bandgaps and excellent ferroelectric response, with the potential for use in self-powered multifunctional devices. This stress-mediated solution deposition method can be extended to other perovskite films which are unviable under conventional deposition methods.

Summary: A solvent-free and flexible method for material properties modulation using CsPbBr3 thin films has been developed. The method enables composition and morphology control, increases grain size, reduces leakage current, and enhances radiation detection performance of diodes. This approach can be applied to other perovskite systems for tuning band gap and improving electronic properties.

Summary: The growth of SrTiO3 (STO) films at different substrate temperatures affects the surface morphology, electronic structure, and thermoelectric properties, leading to 3D island growth and significant enhancement in thermoelectric properties at a deposition temperature of 650 degrees C. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) spectra show the presence of oxygen vacancies responsible for the observed transport behavior, highlighting the important role of substrate temperature in tuning the electrical and thermoelectric properties.

Summary: The influence of grain boundaries and orientations on SrTiO3-based thermoelectric films is systematically investigated, and it is found that (001)-oriented film exhibits the best performance with outstanding power factor values. This lays a solid foundation for improving thermoelectric performance in other oxide thin films.

Summary: Both beta-Ag2Te and beta-Ag2Se can form a complete solid solution, and the Ag2Te1-xSex solid solutions exhibit two crystal structure regions. Alloying Ag2Se in Ag2Te enhances carrier concentration, improves electrical properties, and lowers thermal conductivity. The orthorhombic phase Ag2Te1-xSex compounds show greater potential as high-performance thermoelectric materials compared to samples with a monoclinic structure.

Summary: Metal oxide solid solution thin films containing binary mixtures of iridium, ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium were synthesized to investigate the compositional dependence of properties relevant to neural interfacing applications. The binary metal oxides exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance compared to their single metal oxide endmembers at thicknesses greater than 700 nm. Specific concentrations of the binary metal oxides have been identified to produce robust microstructures and exceptional electrochemical performance.

Summary: The discovery and exploration of novel thermoelectric materials have traditionally relied on inefficient trial and error methods. This study demonstrates a successful data-driven screening approach using Cu-2(S, Se, Te) solid solutions as an example, revealing optimal composition ranges with high thermoelectric performance. The method combines prediction based on known experimental data with systematic investigation, leading to the fabrication of materials with desired properties.

Summary: A series of Sn1-2x(AgBi)xSe samples were successfully synthesized using vacuum melting and spark plasma sintering methods. The cubic structure was obtained when x exceeded 0.2, thanks to the increased configurational entropy caused by AgBiSe2 solid solution. The optimized carrier concentration significantly enhanced electrical conductivity, reaching a maximum value of 350 Scm-1 in Sn0.5(AgBi)0.25Se. Combined with the low lattice thermal conductivity caused by small sound velocity and strong anharmonicity, the figure of merit of 0.08 was achieved in Sn0.6(AgBi)0.2Se at 500 K. Furthermore, the mechanical performance was also improved, with a high Vicker hardness of 1.5 GPa obtained in Sn0.4(AgBi)0.3Se. This work highlights the importance of configurational entropy in phase regulation and provides insights into the design of new thermoelectrics.

Summary: Research has shown that perovskite films prepared by one-step solution processes grow downward during thermal annealing, starting from an intermediate phase rather than from bottom to top. Understanding this vertical heterogeneity of perovskite films is crucial as it significantly impacts the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.
