Proposing a new solution for marine debris by utilizing on-board low-temperature eco-friendly pulverization system.

Developing an effective and efficient recycling process for marine debris (MD) is one of the most urgent issues to maintain environmental sustainability on Earth. However, restricted storage capacities and secondary pollution (e.g.

Controlled Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Transparent Conductive Oxide Thin Film via Localized Vibration of Doping Atoms.

Amorphization using impurity doping is a promising approach to improve the thermoelectric properties of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) thin films. However, an abnormal phenomenon has been observed where an excessive concentration of doped atoms increases the lattice thermal conductivity (). To elucidate this paradox, we propose two hypotheses: (1) metal hydroxide formation due to the low bond enthalpy energy of O and metal atoms and (2) localized vibration due to excessive impurity doping.

Characteristics of a-IGZO/ITO hybrid layer deposited by magnetron sputtering.

Transparent a-IGZO (In-Ga-Zn-O) films have been actively studied for use in the fabrication of high-quality TFTs. In this study, a-IGZO films and a-IGZO/ITO double layers were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering under various oxygen flow rates. The a-IGZO films showed an amorphous structure up to 500 degrees C.

Microstructure and electrical property of TiNx films deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering superimposed electromagnetic field system.

TiNx films were successfully deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering superimposed EMF system without substrate heating. In case of DCMS 400 W+ EMF 25 W, electrical property, reflectance and crystallinity of the TiN films were clearly improved by the enhancement of nitrification. The lowest sheet resistance of 2.
