Summary: In this study, N-type and P-type BiTe-based thin films were deposited on silicon, glass, and Kapton HN polyimide foil using magnetron sputtering technique. The morphology, microstructure, and phase constituents of the thin films were characterized by SEM/EDX, XRD, and TEM. The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient were measured by an advanced in-plane test system. The power output (open-circuit voltage and electric current) of the thin films was measured at different temperature gradients using a custom-built apparatus. The impact of deposition parameters and the dimensions of the thin films on the power output were investigated to optimize the thin-film flexible TE device for thermal energy harvesting.

Summary: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are attractive energy conversion devices due to their fuel flexibility, environmental friendliness, and promising energy conversion efficiency. However, the high operating temperature of SOFCs poses challenges in stability, sealing integrity, and safety. Lowering the operating temperature to 600°C or lower is an important research topic. Magnetron sputtering is gaining attention as a thin-film preparation technology for electrolyte thin films with high stability and performance at lower temperatures. This comprehensive review analyzes various electrolyte preparation methods, focusing on magnetron sputtering technology for oxygen-ion conducting electrolyte thin films. The effects of processing parameters on the microstructures and properties of the thin films, as well as the relevant interfaces and full SOFCs, are discussed. Perspectives and directions for developing high-performance SOFCs with thin-film electrolytes prepared by magnetron sputtering technology are presented.

Summary: This study prepared Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) thin films with different concentrations of Al2O3, analyzing their optical and electrical properties. It was found that a 3% Al2O3 content led to a significant decrease in resistivity, while 7% resulted in a noticeable decrease in optical transmittance. The increase in Al2O3 content was observed to lead to higher carrier concentration and mobility, as well as a decreasing bandgap of the films.

Summary: The study shows that the luminescence at silicon band edge is greatly enhanced when co-implanted with boron and carbon. The role of boron in band edge emissions in silicon was investigated by introducing defects into the lattice structures. The aim was to increase the light emission intensity from silicon by boron implantation, resulting in the formation of dislocation loops. Photoluminescence measurements were performed to observe the emissions in the near-infrared region. Two main peaks were observed at approximately 1112 and 1170 nm in the samples incorporated with boron, with significantly higher intensities compared to pristine silicon samples.
