Summary: CeO2 microspheres were prepared by one-step ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method and demonstrated to have particle sizes ranging from 0.01 to 1.08 μm, with the majority being less than 0.5 μm. However, the presence of residual chlorine in the fabricated microspheres negatively impacted the performance of SOFC. A water washing method was effective in reducing the residual chlorine content in CeO2 microspheres, providing a cleaner manufacturing process for SOFC electrode/electrolyte materials.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing focus on the photodiode properties of MS devices in order to enhance the performance of light sensing devices. In this study, LiCoO2 thin film was synthesized through a sol-gel-based electrospinning method and used as an interlayer for fabricating Al/LiCoO2/n-Si photodiode. The characterization results showed that the LiCoO2 thin film had a crystallite size of 37.75 nm. Electrical characterization using current-voltage and current-transient measurements demonstrated that the Al/LiCoO2/n-Si photodiode exhibited good behavior and a high rectifying ratio, with significant responsivity and detectivity. These findings suggest that LiCoO2-based devices can be utilized in optoelectronic applications.

Summary: In this study, Nb-doped TiO2 (NTO) films were fabricated on ITO glass substrates using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method. The effects of deposition temperature and film thickness on the microstructure and electrochromic property of NTO films were investigated. The results showed that increasing the deposition temperature improved the crystallinity and electrochromic properties of the films, while the growth direction and surface morphology of the NTO grains were strongly influenced by the film thickness. The NTO films with a thickness of 300 nm and sheet-structured grains exhibited optimal properties, allowing precise independent spectral control over material transmittance in the visible and near-infrared regions.

Summary: In this study, Cr1.8Ti0.2O3+z (CTO) nanoparticles with hollow microsphere structure were prepared using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. Magnetic susceptibility and electron spin resonance spectroscopy revealed a para- to antiferromagnetic transition at (306 ± 1) K for CTO. Detection experiments on acetone vapors showed that CTO particles produced by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis have the potential to be highly effective volatile organic compounds detectors, with a linear response to acetone concentration. This synthesis route is economically feasible and allows for large scale production.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the effects of the ZnO cap layer on the mobility (mu), sheet carrier density (ns), and conductance (ns x mu) of dual ion beam sputtering grown MgZnO/CdZnO (MCO) heterostructure with and without a Y2O3 spacer layer. The results show that the addition of a 30-nm ZnO cap layer significantly enhances the mu by about 2.3 times compared to the uncapped MCO heterostructure with a spacer layer. These findings are important for the development of cost-effective and large area MCO-based heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) for sensor, microwave, and power devices.

Summary: In this research, the impact of symmetric and asymmetric electrodes on the resistive switching behavior of nanoscale Y2O3-based memristor was investigated experimentally, and the extracted switching parameters were validated through systemic modeling. Memristor growth was achieved using a dual ion beam sputtering system, and simulation was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics with a defined MATLAB script. The simulation results showed a stable pinched hysteresis loop in the resistive switching response, both in symmetric and asymmetric electrode combinations, with an efficient ON/OFF current ratio that closely matched the experimental results. Additionally, the simulated devices exhibited synaptic plasticity functionalities and nearly ideal linearity factors for both electrode combinations, similar to the realistic experimental data. Therefore, this work effectively demonstrates the suitability of the electrode material with Y2O3 switching layer to enhance electrical performance for integration into artificial synapse and neuromorphic computations.

Summary: The effect and mechanism of carrier gas velocity, V/III ratio, and carrier gas velocity match on the growth rate of AlN were investigated in this study. The results showed that the growth rate of AlN initially increased with hydrogen flow rate, reached saturation, and then decreased monotonically. The turning point value depended on the equipment and process. By increasing the MO VM, the growth rate of AlN could be improved, but the uniformity deteriorated due to turbulence and loss of uniform boundary layer. High quality AlN films were successfully grown on nano-patterned sapphire substrates with improved crystalline quality and atomic smooth surfaces.

The results show good agreement between simulated and experimental values for the melting temperature, density, and radial distribution function of sodium. The diffusion coefficient of liquid sodium increases linearly with temperature, and the homogeneous nucleation rate of melting in superheated sodium crystal exponentially increases with temperature.

Summary: Epitaxial V2O3 films were fabricated on sapphire substrates using mist chemical vapor deposition (mist CVD) method, eliminating the need for high vacuum conditions. The films can be grown on sapphire substrates even under atmospheric pressure, with the optimal growth temperature at 823 K. The films grown at 823 K exhibit a metal-insulator transition at approximately 155 K. The film on C-plane sapphire exhibits a lower transition temperature compared to those on R- and A-plane sapphire substrates.

The defects in GaN layers grown at different temperatures were studied using photoluminescence technique, and a correlation between leakage currents, structural perfection, and donor concentration in GaN-on-Si layers was established. It was also observed that reduced growth temperature leads to the formation of inversion domains.
