Thermoelectric properties of porous zinc oxide ceramics doped with praseodymium

We evaluated praseodymium (Pr) doping effects on thermoelectric properties of porous zinc oxide (ZnO) ceramics. The low density ceramics composed of ZnO and an additive of Pr (0.5 and 0.1 mol%) oxide were prepared by sintering processes in different atmospheres (air and oxygen), where the additives were Pr₆O₁₁ known for phase transformations and the trioxide Pr₂O₃ with low valence state different from Pr₆O₁₁. Thermoelectric properties of the samples were measured between 313 K and 903 K. At high-temperature around 590 K, some samples showed a maximum of electrical resistivity. We discussed the origin of the maximum on the basis of carrier transport model on gas sensor and varistor. From the results, The maximum appearance was attributable to an interchange of carriers through defects complex closely related with enhanced zinc vacancies acceptor-like in the vicinity of grain boundaries (GB), where the defect complex seemed to be caused by Pr with valence state between 3+ and 3.78+ around GB. The doping Pr into ZnO matrix is expected to be advantageous to improve thermoelectric power.     

Electrical conductivity and defect structure of polycrystalline tin dioxide doped with antimony oxide

Electrical conductivity () of tin dioxide doped with antimony has been measured as functions of temperature and oxygen partial pressure (p0_2> ). Variation of electrical conductivity is explained by assuming that the antimony oxide forms a substitutional solid solution and doubly ionized oxygen vacancies are predominant defects. Above –10^–5 atm oxygen partial pressure antimony ions are present predominantly in the pentavalent state in tin dioxide lattice. However, it is converted to the trivalent state below this oxygen partial pressure accompanied by a sudden rise in conductivity.     

Electrical properties of niobium doped barium bismuth-titanate ceramics

BaBi₄Ti_4–5/4xNb_xO₁₅ (BBNTx, x = 0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.30) ceramics have been prepared by solid state method. XRD data indicate the formation of single-phase-layered perovskites for all compositions. SEM micrographs suggest that the grain size decreases with Nb doping. The effect of niobium doping on the dielectric and relaxor behavior of BaBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ ceramics was investigated in a wide range of temperatures (20–777 °C) and frequencies (1.21 kHz to 1 MHz). Nb doping influences T_c decrease as well as the decrease of dielectric permittivity at Curie temperature. At room temperature, undoped BaBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ exhibits dielectric constant of ～204 at 100 kHz, that slightly increases with Nb doping. The conductivity of BBNT5 ceramics is found to be lower than that of other investigated compositions. The value of activation energy of σ_DC was found to be 0.89 eV, 1.01 eV, 0.93 eV and 0.71 eV for BBT, BBNT5, BBNT15 and BBNT30, respectively.     

Electrical properties of high purity tin dioxide doped with antimony

The electrical conductivity of high purity tin dioxide doped with antimony was studied at temperatures of 900 to 1200° C and partial pressures of oxygen between 10^–8 and 1 atm. For specimens having a dopant concentration over 1 × 10¹⁹Sb cm^–3, the electrical conductivity decreased slightly with temperature and independent of oxygen partial pressure. The electrical conductivity of specimens having a dopant concentration under 1 × 10^–8Sb cm^–3 increased with temperature and with decreasing partial pressure of oxygen. The significance of the dopant and the thermally created defects is discussed.     

Thermal stability of indium tin oxide thin films co-sputtered with zinc oxide

The thermal stability of indium tin oxide (ITO) films and ITO co-sputtered with zinc oxide (ZnO) films at different zinc atomic ratios in various atmospheres are investigated. The resistivity of the annealed ITO films decreased with increased annealing temperatures. The improved electrical properties were attributed mainly to the increase in carrier concentration originating from the significant formation of oxygen vacancies in the ITO films. In contrast, due to the lower oxidation potential of zinc ions, the resistivity of the annealed co-sputtered films showed no significant reduction and an increase with annealing temperatures. The film decomposition due to the high degree outdiffusion of oxygen atoms and aggregation of In atoms observed from the metal-like In phase in the diffraction patterns was responsible for the drastic thermal degradation in the electrical and optical properties of the samples annealed at elevated temperatures in reducing gas atmosphere. In contrast, the superior thermal stability of the co-sputtered films, at an atomic ratio of 60% annealed in reducing gas atmospheres, was ascribed to the stable Zn₃In₂O₆ crystalline structure that appeared in the diffraction pattern. The absorption edge observed from the optical transmittance of these annealed films also showed evidence of carrier concentration evolution in various annealing atmospheres. The lower oxidation potential of the zinc atoms introduced into the ITO films was concluded to be efficient in compensating for the formation of oxygen vacancies resulting in the alleviated decomposition behavior during thermal annealing.     

Effect of the niobium pentoxide powder dispersity on the mechanical properties of niobate ferroelectric ceramics

Dispersity of the initial niobium pentoxide powder used in the synthesis of niobate ceramics significantly affects the mechanical properties of these ferroelectric materials. The best mechanical properties were observed in the samples of niobate ceramics characterized by a minimum deformation of the unit cells, corresponding to certain intervals of the specific surface of the initial niobium pentoxide powder. These results must be taken into account in the research, synthesis, and development of niobate ferroelectric ceramics for various applications.     

Low-temperature anisotropy of thermal conductivity of tin single crystals doped with zinc

The thermal conductivity of tin single crystals with zinc admixtures has been measured in the temperature range 3.5–25 K for concentrations up to 0.1 wt%. The anisotropy of thermal conductivity for two orientations, [001] and [010], has been determined. It was found that the influence of zinc admixture on the thermal conductivity anisotropy is of a complex, temperature-dependent character.Nomenclature T ₁ T ₂ Temperature differences in the specimen - Thermal conductivity coefficient - W Thermal resistivity - A, B, C Constants in Eq.

Rare earth doped zinc oxide nanowires

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires were grown via thermal transport and subsequently doped with different concentrations of Tm, Yb, and Eu using ion implantation and post annealing. High ion fluences lead to morphology changes due to sputtering; however, freestanding nanowires become less damaged compared to those attached to substrates. No other phases like rare earth (RE) oxides were detected, no amorphization occurs in any sample, and homogeneous doping with the desired concentrations was achieved. Photoluminescence measurements demonstrate the optical activation of trivalent RE-elements and the emission of the characteristic intra-4f-luminescence of the respective RE atoms, which could be assigned according to the Dieke-diagram. An increasing RE concentration results into decreasing luminescence intensity caused by energy transfer mechanisms to non-radiative remaining implantation defect sites. Furthermore, low thermal quenching was observed due to the considerable wide band gap of ZnO.
