We report the fabrication of gallium oxide (GaO) thin films by a novel polymer-assisted deposition (PAD) method. The influence and mechanism of postannealing temperature (200-800 °C) on the formation and properties of GaO thin films are investigated by complementary characterization analyses. The results indicate that solution-deposited GaO experiences the elimination of organic residuals as well as the transformation of amorphous GaO to crystalline GaO with the increase in annealing temperature. High-quality GaO could be achieved with a smooth surface, wide band gap, and decent dielectric performance. Moreover, the solution-processed InO thin-film transistors based on optimized GaO dielectrics demonstrate outstanding electrical performance, including a low operating voltage of 5 V, a mobility of 3.09 cm V s, an on/off current ratio of 1.8 × 10, and a subthreshold swing of 0.18 V dec. Our study suggests that GaO achieved by PAD shows great potential for further low-cost and high-performance optoelectronic applications.

Emergent ferromagnetism in β-GaO with an ultra-wide bandwidth and high electrical breakdown strength offers exciting opportunities for fabricating robust spintronic devices. One pertinent obstacle in the material has been the low saturation magnetization, which precludes its practical application in magnetic devices. In this work, large-scale Fe-doped β-GaO diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) films are synthesized using a polymer-assisted deposition method, and the effect of Fe doping on their structural and magnetic properties is investigated.

Respiratory signals are critical clinical diagnostic criteria for respiratory diseases and health conditions, and respiratory sensors play a crucial role in achieving the desired respiratory monitoring effect. High sensitivity to a single factor can improve the reliability of respiratory monitoring, and maintaining the hygiene of the sensors is also important for daily health monitoring. Herein, we propose a flexible Au-modified anatase titanium dioxide resistive respiratory sensor, which can be mechanically compliantly attached to curved surfaces for respiratory monitoring in different modalities (i.

Wafer-scale synthesis of two-dimensional ultrathin films.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, consisting of atomically thin layered crystals, have attracted tremendous interest due to their outstanding intrinsic properties and diverse applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. The large-scale growth of high-quality ultrathin 2D films and their utilization in the facile fabrication of devices, easily adoptable in industrial applications, have been extensively sought after during the last decade; however, it remains a challenge to achieve these goals. Herein, we introduce three key concepts: (i) the microwave assisted quick (∼1 min) synthesis of wafer-scale (6-inch) anisotropic conducting ultrathin (∼1 nm) amorphous carbon and 2D semiconducting metal chalcogenide atomically thin films, (ii) a polymer-assisted deposition process for the synthesis of wafer-scale (6-inch) 2D metal chalcogenide and pyrolyzed carbon thin films, and (iii) the surface diffusion and epitaxial self-planarization induced synthesis of wafer-scale (2-inch) single crystal 2D binary and large-grain 2D ferromagnetic ternary metal chalcogenide thin films.
