This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of (Bi0.48Sb1.52)Te3 thick films using a tape casting process on glass substrates. A slurry of thermoelectric (Bi0.48Sb1.52)Te3 was developed and cured thick films were annealed in a vacuum chamber at 500–600 °C. The microstructure of these films was analyzed, and the Seebeck coefficient and electric conductivity were tested. It was found that the subsequent annealing process must be carefully designed to achieve good thermoelectric properties of these samples. Conductive films were obtained after annealing and led to acceptable thermoelectric performance. While the properties of these initial materials are not at the level of bulk materials, this work demonstrates that the low-cost tape casting technology is promising for fabricating thermoelectric modules for energy conversion.

Deposited Films

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films have been deposited on glass/conducting glass substrates using low-cost electrodeposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique has been used to identify the phases present in the deposited films and observed that the deposited films are mainly consisting of CdSe phases. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell measurements indicate that the CdSe films are n-type in electrical conduction, and optical absorption measurements show that the bandgap for as-deposited film is estimated to be 2.1 eV. Upon heat treatment at 723 K for 30 min in air the band gap of CdSe film is decreased to 1.8 eV. The surface morphology of the deposited films has been characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and observed that very homogeneous and uniform CdSe film is grown onto FTO/glass substrate. The aim of this work is to use n-type CdSe window materials in CdTe based solar cell structures. The results will be presented in this paper in the light of observed data.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujs.v60i1.10352  Dhaka Univ. J. Sci. 60(1): 137-140 2012 (January)

A New Technique

This presentation introduces a new technique to manufacture continuously submicron thick ceramic green tapes and coatings from nano particulate suspensions. A profiled steel rod is used to coat large areas with a very low film thickness of down to 250 nm. This technique can easily be scaled up and is therefore suitable for mass production at high throughput and low cost. The profile rod technique could be a method to overcome the limit of the tape casting process and therefore this technique exhibits an enormous economical potential. The technique is demonstrated at the example of nano particulate indium tin oxide (ITO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) particles, which are both transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) and therefore interesting materials for printed displays etc. Nano particles from Evonik Degussa GmbH were first dispersed and stabilized in organic solvents. Subsequently, dispersions as well as slurries were prepared. Their rheological and wetting behavior were studied and the effect on the microstructure of the resulting layer was evaluated. Furthermore, the influence of the processing parameters during coating on the layer quality was analyzed. Finally, the functionality of the printed layers was proven by electrical measurements as well as the assembly of electron devices.

Alumina has been applied in systems of protection against high speed impact due mostly to the mechanical properties, low cost and ease of processing. A new approach to this application involves the manufacture of lamellar bioinspired composites of thin plates of alumina obtained by tape casting process, and fabrics of poly (p-aramid), Kevlar ®. The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between the ceramic and polymeric fibers fabric observing the influence of different nature adhesives to select the most suitable for further preparation of bioinspired lamellar composite for impact protection applications. The strength of adhesion is evaluated by 90° Degree Peel Test and the interaction is investigated using techniques of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and spectroscopy with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) to characterize the surfaces of substrates after testing. Polyurethane aqueous based adhesive presented better interaction with both materials when compared to organic solvent based adhesive.

Aluminum-silicon alloys acquiring extensive industrial attention due to their superior resistance to rate of wear and elevated strength to weight ratio properties. Though the properties of the materials substantially depend on the manufacturing process they involve. Thus many industries focusing on new manufacturing methods to produce high-performance alloys. In this present study, AlSi (16-18) alloys were prepared by new CRSS (combined rheo stir squeeze) casting method with rapid-solidification process under T-6 condition. CRSS-T6 as casting process enhances the microstructural and mechanical properties significantly by 40-70%. Whereas, the maximum value of hardness (179.37) was found with AlSi17Cu3.5Mg0.8 with CRSS-T6. The improvements in hardness and elastic properties were mainly ascribed to size, distribution, and morphology of Si-particles because of its manufacturing process. SEM, advanced metallurgical microstructure and EDS analysis techniques are used for the surface morphologies observation. Moreover, Brinell hardness tester and Tensometer are used for the characterization of mechanical properties

AbstractEr3+-doped Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (xEr-BCTZ, x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015) multifunctional thick films were prepared by the tape-casting method, using sol-gel-derived nano-sized powders as the matrix material. The surface morphologies, photoluminescence, and electrical properties were investigated. Dense microstructures with pure perovskite structure were obtained in the thick films. By doping an appropriate amount of Er3−, the samples exhibit superior up-conversion photoluminescence performance and simultaneously enhanced electrical performances. In addition, relatively higher texture fractions (with the largest value of 83.5%) were realized through introducing plate-like BaTiO3 templates to make the thick film grow by the [001]c orientation. And the ferro-/piezoelectric properties of the thick films were further improved, showing potential in the applications of micro-optoelectronic devices.

Synthesis of La2O3-SiO2-B2O3 (LSB) based glass-ceramics using glass melting method has een investigated in this study. XRD result showed that some LSB glass systems in this study were ntirely amorphous phases. In addition, TMA results revealed that the LSB/mullite (LSBM) glassceramics ith a mass ratio of 60/40 could be densified at 850oC, which matches the requirements for theLTCC application. Moreover, dispersive behavior of the LSB glass powder with six kinds of commercial ispersants in MEK and toluene solvent had been studied. Furthermore, tape-casting process used for ow-temperature-cofired-ceramic (LTCC) chips was conducted in order to do crystal phase identification, microstructure analysis, and dielectric property measurement.
