Summary: Research on epitaxial antiferroelectric materials show that PbZrO3/SrRuO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures exhibit an unusual structural response to electric fields lower than the switching threshold, gradually forming a ferroelectric-like structure. The field-induced structure is similar to the parent antiferroelectric phase in octahedral-tilt pattern but differs in lead-ion displacement. The findings suggest a potential mechanism for smearing of polarization-field loops in such heterostructures.

Summary: In this study, LiNbO3-type ZnSnO3 single crystal thin films were deposited on a LiTaO3 substrate using pulsed laser deposition, followed by an annealing process. The film deposited at 700 degrees Celsius showed the highest crystal quality, while the film annealed at 800 degrees Celsius exhibited partial decomposition. The ZnSnO3 thin film exhibited a hexagonal structure with slightly shrunken lattice constants, and showed an optical band gap of about 3.90 eV and an average transmittance of approximately 79% in the visible light range. Due to its high transmittance, wide bandgap, and high crystal quality, the ZnSnO3 thin film is expected to have wide application potential in optoelectronic devices.

Summary: FTO thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and defects and charge carrier transport behavior were evaluated as the films transitioned from amorphous to nanocrystalline structures. The study revealed that annealing temperature significantly impacted the stable lattice structure and carrier mobility of the FTO thin films, and a defect scattering mechanism was proposed to explain the observed increase in carrier mobility after thermal treatment.

Summary: X-ray imaging of strains has made impressive progress recently, with improved resolution and optical elements. Development of new detectors has revolutionized measurement strategies. The introduction of a new accelerator ring concept has significantly increased brightness and coherent flux. In the next decade, fast three-dimensional imaging methods will emerge to track the evolution of strains in materials.

Summary: The study investigated the deposition-rate-dependent ferroelectric properties of BaTiO3 thin films fabricated through pulsed laser deposition, revealing an enhancement in ferroelectric properties with increased tetragonality. It was also found that the deposition rate affects the leakage current and bandgap energy of the films.

Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear optical properties of (0-5 at% Co/Sn) doped tin oxide thin films. Linear spectroscopy using UV-Vis spectrometry in the range of 300-900 nm reveals direct band gap energy between 3.74 and 3.79 eV, and Urbach energy ranging from 0.64 to 1.1 eV. The non-linear refractive index and third order nonlinear susceptibility X-(3)(omega) are estimated from self-Kerr effect. The results show that all samples have strong nonlinear susceptibilities in the near ultraviolet range.
