Room temperature tunability of ferroelectricity and dielectricity in La and Mn codoped BiFeO3 nanoflakes: Implications for electronic devices applications

Arvind Kumar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the in-situ growth of nanoflakes structure in Bi0.9La0.1Fe0.5Mn0.5O3 (BLFMO) thin films. The study demonstrates that the use of a LNO buffer layer allows for controlled growth of BLFMO thin films with a specific crystal structure. The compact and densely packed nanoflake structures in the BLFMO thin film samples are confirmed by surface morphological investigations. The study also explores the leakage current behavior and tunability of BLFMO thin films, presenting valuable insights for the fabrication of thin film based ferroelectric memory devices.

Lattice-matched heteroepitaxial preparation of InSb/CdTe on Si (111) substrate by magnetron sputtering

Kanghui Wang et al.

Summary: InSb films were deposited on Si (111) substrate using CdTe buffer layers, which significantly improved the crystal structure, morphology, optical, and electrical properties of the films. The CdTe buffer layer reduced stress and improved the grain size of InSb films, while also controlling the appearance of dislocations at the interface. The insertion of a CdTe buffer layer also affected the surface roughness and carrier mobility of InSb films, making it an effective method to enhance the performance of InSb films.

First-principles investigation of structural, electronic, and energetic properties of BaSnO3 (001) surfaces

Yaqin Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates various (001) surface structures of BaSnO3 and finds that BaO surface termination has slightly lower surface energy than SnO2 surface termination. The thermodynamic stability diagrams also show that BaO surface termination is preferred. Additionally, eliminating the surface layer of BaO.H2O requires less energy compared to SnO2.H2O surface layer. These findings explain the experimental observations of Ba-excess surface after oxygen annealing and SnO2 surface termination achieved by water leaching.

Tung-Ming Pan et al.

Summary: This study fabricated ytterbium-doped BiFeO3 thin films on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates using a co-sputtering method and investigated the impact of ytterbium content on the structural and electrical properties of the films.

What ails the photovoltaic performance in single-layered unpoled BFO? - The role of oxygen annealing in improving the photovoltaic efficiency

Waseem Ahmad Wani et al.

Summary: Enhanced photovoltaic efficiency is achieved in optimized monolayer BiFeO3 thin-film based solar cells prepared by inexpensive spin-coating technique. The influence of oxygen annealing on photovoltaic response is investigated, and further improvement in photo-current density is reported. The film deposition shows high crystallinity and uniformity, with an average crystallite size in the range of 14-17 nm. Oxygen annealing reduces the density of defect states and the Urbach energy tail values, indicating improved film quality.

Referencing to adventitious carbon in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: Can differential charging explain C 1s peak shifts?

G. Greczynski et al.

Summary: The peak position of C 1s can be affected by the vacuum level alignment and differential charging. However, recent studies suggest that differential charging may not be the general cause of C 1s peak shifts. Experimental results confirm that the binding energy of C 1s peaks in metal foils is determined by their work function values.

Amira Bougoffa et al.

Summary: In this work, a multifunctional material (La0.8Ca0.2)(0.4)Bi0.6FeO3 was synthesized using a sol-gel process.
