ABSTRACTPerovskite oxide Cd3TeO6 was electron-doped by the introduction of oxygen vacancies and substitution of trivalent cations, In3+, La3+ and Bi3+. Their electric properties were investigated and compared with that of undoped Cd3TeO6. Negative temperature dependence of resistivity was observed in undoped, air-sintered Cd3TeO6. The resis tivity of Cd3−xAxTeO6 (A = In3+, La3+ and Bi3+) showed a metallic behavior with very slight temperature dependence. Indium-doped samples gave a low resistivity, which were decreased by more than three orders of magnitudes than that of air-sintered, undoped Cd3TeO6. The negative Seebeck coefficient and Hall coefficient obtained from all samples indicate that electrons are the charge carriers. The absolute Seebeck coefficients values of doped samples are decreased by 5 ∼ 10 times than that observed in undoped Cd3TeO6. Fortunately, the resistivity of indium-doped samples is low enough to provide a good thermoelectric power factor, and the optimum value of Cd2.97In0.03TeO6 was calculated as 1.35×10−4 Wm−1K−2. This result is close to that of the current best n-type perovskite thermoelectric material Ba0.4Sr0.6PbO3.

The Aurivillius phases of complex bismuth oxides have attracted considerable attention due to their lattice polarization (ferroelectricity) and photocatalytic activity. We report a first-principles exploration of Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> and the replacement of W<sup>6+</sup> by pentavalent (Nb<sup>5+</sup>, Ta<sup>5+</sup>) and tetravalent (Ti<sup>4+</sup>, Sn<sup>4+</sup>) ions, with charge neutrality maintained by the formation of a mixed-anion oxyhalide sublattice. We find that Bi<sub>2</sub>SnO<sub>4</sub>F<sub>2</sub> is thermodynamically unstable, in contrast to Bi<sub>2</sub>TaO<sub>5</sub>F, Bi<sub>2</sub>NbO<sub>5</sub>F and Bi<sub>2</sub>TiO<sub>4</sub>F<sub>2</sub>. The electric dipoles introduced by chemical substitutions in the parent compound are found to suppress the spontaneous polarization from 61.55 μC/cm<sup>2</sup> to below 15.50 μC/cm<sup>2</sup>. Analysis of the trends in electronic structure, surface structure, and ionization potentials are reported. This family of materials can be further extended with control of layer thicknesses and choice of compensating halide species.<br>

This paper presents impedance measurements of ferroelectric structures involving lead-free oxide and polymer-oxide composite coatings for sensing and energy harvesting applications. Three different ferroelectric materials grown by conventional microfabrication technologies on solid or flexible substrates are investigated for their basic resonant characteristics. Equivalent electrical circuit models are applied to all cases to explain the electrical behavior of the structures, according to the materials type and thickness. The analytical results show good agreement with the experiments carried out on a basic types of excited thin-film piezoelectric transducers. Additionally, temperature and frequency dependences of the dielectric permittivity and losses are measured for the polymer-oxide composite device in relation with the surface morphology before and after introduction of the polymer to the functional film.
