ABSTRACTIn this paper, we introduce rare earth- or transition metal-activated oxide phosphor thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering and dip-coated solution deposition. Thin-film electroluminescent (TFEL) devices using these oxide phosphor thin films as the emitting layer were investigated with a single insulating layer device structure using a thick ceramic sheet insulating layer. High-luminance multicolor emissions and high luminous efficiencies were obtained in TFEL devices using various oxide phosphors: binary compound, Ga2O3; ternary compound, Zn2SiO4, CaGa2O4 and ZnGa2O4; and multicomponent oxide, Zn2SiO4-Zn2GeO4 system. Luminances above 2000 cd/m2were obtained in CaGa2O4:Mn and Zn2Si1-XGeXO4:Mn TFEL devices driven at 1 kHz. Maximum luminous efficiencies of 2.53, 1.7 and 1.2 Im/W were obtained in Zn2Si0.7Ge0.3O4:Mn, Ga2O3:Mn and ZnGa2O4:Mn TFEL devices, respectively. Stable long-term operation was obtained in dip-coated and sputtered Ga2O3:Mn phosphor TFEL devices even when driven at 10 kHz. Various thin-film oxide phosphors activated with transition metals are suitable for the emitting layer of full-color electroluminescent displays (ELD) without the use of color filters. In particular, Ga2O3 is very promising as a phosphor host material for ELDs.

In this study, thin films of CaBi4Ti4O15with preferential crystal orientation were prepared by the chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique on a SiO2/Si substrate. The films consisted of a crystalline phase of bismuth-layer-structured dielectric. The as-deposited CaBi4Ti4O15thin films were crystallized in a conventional furnace annealing (RTA) under the temperature of 700 to 800°C for 1min. Structural and morphological characterization of the CBT thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The impedance analyzer HP4294A and HP4156C semiconductor parameters analyzer were used to measurement capacitance voltage (C-V) characteristics and leakage current density of electric field (J-E) characteristics by metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor (MFIS) structure. By the experimental result the CBT thin film in electrical field 20V, annealing temperature in 750°C the CBT thin film leaks the electric current is 1.88x10-7A/cm2and the memory window is 1.2V. In addition, we found the strongest (119) peak of as-deposited thin films as the annealed temperature of 750°C

Purpose During the operation of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), any mechanical disturbance such as stick-slip may cause quenching of superconducting (SC) coils. The friction behavior of MoS2 lubrication (thin film) for narrow support elements between the SC coils in W7-X is rather important, as there is a design requirement for a coefficient of friction (COF) 0.05 between the sliding surfaces to control the stress contribution (from friction). Design/methodology/approach The author has carried out intensive calibrations or verifications using verified models considering previous friction tests on various samples which measured the COF in 4.2 K, 77 K and room temperature conditions (at high vacuum) to simulate the actual working condition. Findings The author has given useful explanations and diagnosis for previous anomalous scattered data. To improve the performance of MoS2, the author has predicted its better COF (0.002 via tuning of the activation volume), which could be a superlubricating state for MoS2 thin films considering the long-term operation requirement W7-X. Originality/value In this paper, the author has adopted Eyring’s approach to predict the low COF (0.002 via tuning of the activation volume), which could be a superlubricating state for MoS2 thin films considering the long-term operation requirement W7-X. Finally, some recent progresses about the possible few-layer MoS2 role in the electromagnetic loads have been provided.

Thin films of (La,Sr)MnO3 (LSMO) were fabricated by industrial-versatile chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. Well [100]-oriented LSMO films were fabricated at 650-750 °C by use of buffer layers of LaNiO3 buffer layer on a silicon substrate. The product of lower electrical resistivity is promising as an electrode of fatigue-free ferroelectric capacitor.
