Relaxor ferroelectrics have garnered significant attention in the field of energy storage due to their exceptional properties, such as high recoverable energy density and impressive efficiency. In this work, we explore (001)-oriented and partially strained Sm-doped Pb(MgNb)O-30PbTiO (Sm-PMN-30PT) thin films, prepared by pulsed laser deposition using TbScO substrates and SrRuO electrodes. We employ a comprehensive approach to evaluate the structural, compositional, and energy storage properties of Sm-PMN-30PT thin films. Our study demonstrates an ultra-high energy density of 116 J cm and an efficiency of 73%, along with excellent thermal stability and fatigue-free energy storage properties in Sm-PMN-30PT thin films. Strain analysis of the heterostructures, performed using reciprocal space mapping (RSM) and geometric phase analysis (GPA), reveal a gradual strain relaxation across the film thickness. This results in imprinted polarization-electric field loops. Additionally, high-angle annular dark field imaging with scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) depicted the existence of a strongly disordered slush-like domain structure, consisting of interconnected rhombohedral and tetragonal polymorphic nanodomains around 2-5 nm in size, and inclined "head-to-tail" polarization between neighboring domains. These results highlight the great potential of Sm-PMN-30PT films for high-capacitive energy storage devices.

Chiral-specific interaction of light with organic materials is important but typically arises from circular polarization-dependent absorption of specific optical transitions, resulting in narrow effective wavelength ranges. This study presents a scalable and universal concept for broadband circular dichroism (CD) enabled by strained conducting polymer thin films that possess in-plane hyperbolic optical behavior (i.e.

While amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (α-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) are practical alternatives to silicon-based TFTs, their field-effect mobility (∼50 cm/(V s), depending on deposition conditions) remains insufficient to meet the growing demands of high-resolution active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The need for high-performance oxide TFTs with mobility ≥100 cm/(V s) has become critical to meet the evolving display industry's requirements. This study explored the development of high-mobility hexagonal homologous compound (HC) indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO) TFTs as an alternative to α-IGZO TFTs.

Electronic noses have been widely used in industrial production, food preservation, agricultural product storage, environmental monitoring, and other fields. However, due to the cross-sensitivity of gas-sensing responses, accurately measuring the concentration of mixed gases remains challenging. To address this issue, this study attempts to determine the number of state variables that produce the cross-influence based on the experimental data, establish the state space model from the equivalent circuit model, and obtain model parameters through parameter correlation iterative algorithms and a Kalman filter.

Flexible polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) have gained significant interest due to their ability to deliver clean and sustainable energy for self-powered electronics and wearable devices. Recently, the incorporation of fillers into the ferroelectric polymer matrix has been used to improve the relatively low piezoelectric properties of polymer-based PENGs. In this study, we investigated the effect of various nanofillers such as titania (TiO), zinc oxide (ZnO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) on the PENG performance of the nanocomposite thin films containing the nanofillers in poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix.

We demonstrate a thermally controlled ultra-wideband wide incident angle metamaterial absorber with switchable transmission at the THz band in this paper. The underlying hybrid structure of FSS-VO thin films make them switchable between absorption mode and transmission mode by controlling the temperature. It can achieve ultra-wideband absorption with above 90% absorption from 1 THz to 10 THz and exhibits excellent absorption performance under a wide range of incident and polarization angles at a high temperature (80 °C).
