Structural and Optical Characterization of Porous NiVO Films Synthesized by Nebulizer Spray Pyrolysis for Photodetector Applications.

NiVO thin films were grown on glass slides with varying thicknesses using nebulizer spray pyrolysis. The impact of thickness on the thin films' optical, structural, morphological, and electrical characteristics was systematically investigated. X-ray diffraction and micro-Raman analysis confirmed the formation of the triclinic NiVO system.

On the Lanthanide Effect on Functional Properties of 0.94NaBiTiO-0.06BaTiO Ceramic.

The beneficial effects of lanthanide incorporation into 0.94NaBiTiO-0.06BaTiO (BNT-BT) matrix on its functional properties were investigated.

Magnetic, Antiferroelectric-like Behavior and Resistance Switching Properties in BiFeO-CaMnO Polycrystalline Thin Films.

The effect of ferromagnetic CaMnO (CMO) addition to structural, magnetic, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties of BiFeO is presented. X-ray diffraction and Raman investigation allowed the identification of a single pseudocubic perovskite structure. The magnetic measurement showed that the prepared films exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior at a low temperature with both coercive field and remnant magnetization increased with increasing CMO content.

Influence of the Addition of Rare Earth Elements on the Energy Storage and Optical Properties of BiNaTiO-0.06BaTiO Polycrystalline Thin Films.

Rare earth element-doped BiNaTiO-BaTiO (BNT-BT-RE) polycrystalline thin films were processed on a platinized substrate by chemical solution deposition. The microstructure, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated for all prepared films. It was found that the incorporation of rare earth elements into the BNT-BT matrix increases both the dielectric constant and the breakdown strength while maintaining low dielectric losses, leading to an enhancement of the energy storage density to = 12 and 16 J/cm under an effective field of = 2500 kV/cm, for Nd- and Dy-based films, respectively.
