Single crystals of layered semiconductors such as WS2 and MoS2 have already proven their efficiency as active elements in photovoltaic cells. Due to their high optical absorption coefficient in the visible range, these materials could be used in the form o ...
The aim of this work was to investigate the degradation of the anti-adhesive properties of protective PTFE films during the hot embossing of thermoplasts, and to identify possible failure causes which reduce the lifetime of these films. A comparative XPS s ...
The self-polarization effect is investigated in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) thin films deposited by sol-gel and magnetron sputtering techniques. The effective piezoelectric coefficient of as-grown films, which is proportional to their initial polarization (self-pol ...
Selective dissolution of titanium through a laser patterned oxide film has been achieved in a 3M sulfuric acid-methanol electrolyte. The 250 nm thick oxide film was formed anodically on a flat titanium surface in 0.5 M sulfuric acid. The patterning of the ...
Electrode stability, interdiffusion, phase purity and deviation from stoichiometry at the PZT-electrode interface are key issues in PZT thin film integration. This article highlights the use of transmission electron imaging combined with energy dispersive ...
Nanocryst. solar cells were made by incorporation of cis-dithiocyanato-bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate) ruthenium (II) into sputter deposited titanium oxide films. After a pyridine treatment, it was possible to achieve a photoelec. conversion efficie ...
An important parameter for the overall quality of SLS parts is the density of powder layers before sintering. Previous studies have shown that the control of powder particle shape and size distribution can increase the density of non-packed powder beds. Ho ...

The effect of near-by-electrode charge injection on switching of a thin film ferroelectric capacitor is theoretically analyzed. We develop a model of switching affected by charge injection through a surface dielectric layer to calculate the coercive field ...
PZT thin films for memory applications are known to lack sufficient resistance versus polarization fatigue when used together with platinum. One possible solution for this problem is to use conductive oxides like La1-xSrxCoO3 (LSCO) as an electrode. In thi ...
The influence of ultraviolet (UV) illumination on piezoelectric properties is investigated in lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films. It is found that the poling procedure is more effective when the film is exposed to a broadband UV light in the presence ...
