In this paper, a film of n-ZnO nanowalls was deposited over p-silicon (Si) substrate by thermally evaporating metallic zinc powder in oxygen gas environment. Several techniques were used to examine various properties of prepared ZnO nanowalls. The morphological study confirmed that the grown ZnO film possesses nanowalls shaped morphologies containing three dimensional (3D) interconnected nanowalls forming large voids with irregular shapes. Interestingly, whole Si substrate was covered with nanowalls shaped morphologies. The structural characterizations examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the deposited nanowalls possess wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure. The presence of a strong UV and suppressed green emissions at room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum exhibited good optical properties of the deposited nanowalls. The electrical properties of the deposited n-ZnO nanowalls over p-silicon substrate assembly was examined in both forward and reverse bias conditions at room-temperature. The fabricated heterojunction device exhibits a standard rectifying behavior which manifests itself in an exponential increase of the current with increase in voltage at forward bias condition. Also, it has a good quality factor similar to an ideal diode.

The porous Cu film was deposited on soft PVDF substrate by magnetron sputtering at different sputtering pressure. The microstructure and electrical properties of Cu films were investigated as a function of sputtering pressure by X-ray diffraction XRD and Hall effect method. The results show that the surface morphology of Cu film is porous, and the XRD revealed that there are Cu diffraction peaks with highly textured having a Cu-(220) or a mixture of Cu-(111) and Cu-(220) at sputtering pressure 0.5 Pa. The electrical properties are also severely influenced by sputtering pressure, the resistivity of the porous Cu film is much larger than that fabricated on Si substrate. Furthermore, the resistivity increases simultaneously with the increasing of Cu film surface aperture, but the resistivity of Cu film still decreases with the increasing grain size. It can be concluded that the crystal structure is still the most important factor for the porous Cu film resistivity.

Commercial grade ZnO were sieved into particle size of 38 to 90 μm at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms the hexagonal wurzite structure of ZnO microparticles. Irregular shapes of ZnO microparticles were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) confirmed the presence of Zn-O band. In addition, Uv-visible spectra (UV-Vis) were empolyed to estimate the band gap energy of ZnO microparticles.

The chemical, electrochemical, optical and electro-optical properties of titanium oxyfluoride, TiOF2, have led to interest in this compound for a number of applications. Prior analyses have indicated that TiOF2possesses a simple cubic structure (space groupPm{\overline 3}m) at room temperature. Three-dimensional nanostructured assemblies of polycrystalline TiOF2have recently been synthesizedviachemical conversion of intricate SiO2structures by metathetic reaction with TiF4(g). Rietveld analysis has been used to evaluate the structure of the TiOF2product formed by such reaction at 623 K. Unlike prior reports, this TiOF2product possessed a hexagonal structure (space groupR{\overline 3}c) at room temperature. Upon heating through 333–338 K, the hexagonal TiOF2polymorph converted into cubic (Pm{\overline 3}m) TiOF2. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analyses have been used to evaluate this thermally induced phase transformation.

This work is focusing on exploring preparing processes to tailor the microstructure of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced silicon nitride-based ceramic composites. Samples with different porosity’s and different amount (1, 3 or 5 wt%) of carbon nanotubes have been prepared by using gas pressure sintering or hot isostatic pressing. In comparison, composites with 1wt%, 5wt% or 10wt% carbon black and graphite have been manufactured. We measured the room temperature mechanical and electrical properties, examined the micro and nano structure by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. It was found that it is possible to develop CNT-silicon nitride composite for applications where a decent electric conductivity and good mechanical properties are required.

Lead-free piezoceramics (K0.5Na0.5)0.94-3xLi0.06LaxNbO3were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction process. The effect of La-doping on the phase structure and electrical properties of (K0.5Na0.5)0.94Li0.06NbO3ceramics was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystal structure of the ceramics changed from coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases to pseudo-cubic phase with the increase of La-doping level, and the change of phase structure seriously weakened the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics. In addition, it was found that the La-doping improved the density of the ceramics and the ceramics became dense. Meanwhile, the ceramics with La-doping displayed a relative lower loss tangent (tanδ) from room temperature to approximately 350°C.

Thermal Coating

Thermal coating growth of ZnTe thermoelectric films were deposited on n-type Si substrate is studied. Structural analysis through x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were sensitive to the RTA treatment. The electrical properties and microstructure of these films were investigated with special emphasis on the effects of various annealing temperatures from 600°C to 800°C by RTA technique. The highest carrier concentration, lowest resistivity and mobility at an annealing temperature of 700°C are 3.5×1015cm-3, 0.25 Ω-cm, and 49 cm2V-1S-1. The resultant electrical properties have made ZnTe films as very interesting materials for thermoelectric device applications.

The La2S3 microcrystalline were prepared by microwave hydrothermal method (M–H). The influences of different S⁄La molar ratio on the phase composition, and morphology of the La2S3 microcrystalline were particularly investigated. The obtained samples were characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet and visible–spectroscopy (UV–vis) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) at room temperature. XRD results show that the decrease of S⁄La molar ratio from 6⁄3 to 6⁄6, the improving in crystallization of the obtained microcrystalline is observed with the decrease in S⁄La molar ratio. The morphology of prepared La2S3 transforms from irregular shapes to quasi-sphere structure. The as-prepared microcrystalline show excellent absorbency of ultraviolet light and are almost transparent to visible light to exhibit stable violet-blue photoluminescence properties under the ultraviolet light excitation at room temperature.
