The amorphization process and the thermal properties of amorphous Ti$_{40}$Cu$_{40}$Ni$_{10}$Al$_{10}$ powder during milling by mechanical alloying were examined by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The chemical composition of the samples was examined by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) facility attached to the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The as-milled powders showed a broad peak (2$\theta$ = 42.4$^{\circ}$) with crystalline size of about 5.0 nm in the XRD patterns. The entire milling process could be divided into three different stages: agglomeration (0 < t$_m$ $\leq$ 3 h), disintegration (3 h < t$_m$ $\leq$ 20 h), and homogenization (20 h < t$_m$ $\leq$ 40 h) (t$_m$: milling time). In the DSC experiment, the peak temperature T$_p$ and crystallization temperature T$_x$ were 466.9$^{\circ}C$ and 444.3$^{\circ}C$, respectively, and the values of T$_p$, and T$_x$ increased with a heating rate (HR). The activation energies of crystallization for the as-milled powder was 291.5 kJ/mol for T$_p$.

The structural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of $[Bi_{1-x}(Na_{0.7-x}K_{0.2}Li_{0.1})]_{0.5}BaxTiO_3$ (BNKLBxT) ceramics were studied for the compositional range, x = 0-0.08. The samples were prepared by conventional sintering technique. The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) suggest that $Ba^{2+}$ diffuse into the $[Bi(Na_{0.7}K_{0.2}Li_{0.1})]_{0.5}TiO_3$ (BNKLT) lattices to form a solid solution with a single phase perovskite structure. The ceramic show excellent piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, and optimum properties measured are as follows: piezoelectric constant $d_{33}=230pC/N$, planar electromechanical coupling factor $k_p\;=\;40.3%$, remanent polarization $P_r\;=\;30\;{\mu}C/cm^2$, and coercive field $E_c\; =\;2.5\;kV/mm$, respectively.

Ferroelectric lanthanides-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ $(Bi_{4-x}Ln_xTi_3O_{12}, BLnT)$ thin films approximately 200 nm in thickness were deposited by metal organic chemical vapor deposition onto Pt(111)/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates. Many researchers reported that the lanthanides substitution for Bi in the pseudo-perovskite layer caused the distortion of TiO$_6$ octahedron in the a-b plane accompanied with a shift of the octahedron along the a-axis. In this study, the effect of lanthanides (Ln=Pr, Eu, Gd, Dy)-substitution and crystallization temperature on their ferroelectric properties of bismuth titanate $(Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}, BIT)$ thin films were investigated. As BLnT thin films were substituted to lanthanide elements (Pr, Eu, Gd, Dy) with a smaller ionic radius, the remnant polarization (2P$_r$) values had a tendency to increase and made an exception of the Eu-substituted case because $Bi_{4-x}Eu_xTi_3O_{12}$ (BET) thin films had the smaller grain sizes than the others. In this study, we confirmed that better ferroelectric properties can be expected for films composed of larger grains in bismuth layered peroskite materials. The crystallinity of the thin films was improved and the average grain size increased as the crystallization temperature,increased from 600 to 720$^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the BLnT thin film capacitor is characterized by well-saturated polarization-electric field (P-E) curves with an increase in annealing temperature. The BLnT thin films exhibited no significant degradation of switching charge for at least up to $1.0\times10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz. From these results, we can suggest that the BLnT thin films are the suitable dielectric materials for ferroelectric random access memory applications.

Modified $PbTiO_3$ piezoelectric ceramics added with 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 mol of $CaCO_3$ and 0.04 mol of $(Co_{\frac{1}{2}}W_{\frac{1}{2}})$ and 0.05 mol of $MnO_2$ and NiO have been fabricated. These ceramics can be poled sufficiently within 10 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ under about d.c. field of 40 kv/cm. Detailed measurement was performed on dielectric constants, cutie temperatures, elastic and piezoelectric properties and coupling factors for the fabricated ceramics. The most value of the piezoelectric coupling factors was coupling factor of thickness mode kt and its value for 0.25 mol of Ca was about $45\%$. Dielectric constants of $\varepsilon_{33}^T$ and $\varepsilon_{11}^T$ for 0.25 mol of Ca were 242 and 260, and coupling factor ratio (kt/Kp) and Qm were 6 and 357 respectively.

Ferroelectric Bi$_{3.35}$Sm$_{0.65}$Ti$_{3}$O$_{12}$(BSmT) thin films were synthesized using a sol-gel process. Bi(TMHD)$_{3}$, Sm$_{5}$(O$^{i}$Pr)13, Ti(O$^{i}$Pr)4 were used as the precursors, which were dissolved in 2­methoxyethanol. The BSmT thin films were deposited on Pt/TiO$_{x}$/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates by spin­coating. The electrical properties of the thin films were enhanced using rapid thermal annealing process (RTA) at 600 $^{circ}$C for 1 min in O$_{2}$. Thereafter, the thin films were annealed from 600 to 720 $^{circ}$C in oxygen ambient for 1 hr, which was followed by post-annealed for 1 hr after depositing a Pt electrode to enhance the electrical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the crystallinity and surface morphology of layered perovskite phase, respectively. The remanent polarization value of the BSmT thin films annealed at 720 $^{circ}$C after the RTA treatment was 35.31 $\mu$C/cmz at an applied voltage of 5 V.

The authors have studied crystallographic and magrletic properties of $NdFe_{10.7}TiM_{0.3}(M=B,\;Ti)$ by X-ray diffraction, VSM magnetometer, and Mossbauer spectrometer. The Alloys were prepared by arc-melting under argon atmosphere. The $NdFe_{10.7}TiM_{0.3}$ has pure single phase, whereas the $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ contains some $\alpha-Fe$, from powder X-ray diffractometry. The $NdFe_{10.7}TiM_{0.3}$ has the $ThMn_{12}$-type tetragonal structure with $a_{0}=8.587\;{\AA}\;and\;c_{0}=4.788\;{\AA}$. The Curie temperature ($T_c$) is $570{\pm}3\;K$ from $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy performed at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 770 K. Each spectrum of below $T_c$ was fitted with five subspectra of Fe sites in the structure ($8i_{1},\;8i_{2},\;8j_{1},\;8j_{2}\;and\;8f$). The area fraction of the subspectra at room temperature are 16.4, 8.2, 14.8, 21.3 and 39.3 %, respectively. Magenetic hyperfine fields for the Fe sites decrease in the order, $H_{hf}(8i)>H_{hf}(8j)>H_{hf}(8f)$.

Single or multi-layered two-dimensional (2D) materials, with thicknesses in the order of a few nanometers, have garnered substantial attention across diverse research domains owing to their distinct properties, including electrical conductivity, flexibility, and optical transparency. These materials are frequently subjected to repetitive mechanical actions in applications like electronic skin (E-Skin) and smart textiles. Moreover, they are often exposed to external factors like temperature, humidity, and pressure, which can lead to a deterioration in component durability and lifespan. Consequently, significant research efforts are directed towards developing self-healing properties in these components. Notably, recent investigations have revealed promising outcomes in the field of self-healing composite materials, with Ti₃Ci₂Ti_x MXene being a prominent component among the myriad of available 2D materials. In this paper, we aim to introduce various synthesis methods and characteristics of Ti₃Ci₂Ti_x MXene, followed by an exploration of self-healing application technologies based on Ti₃Ci₂Ti_x MXene.

We report a successful fabrication of high-$J_C$ $NdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (NdBCO) films on (100) $SrTiO_3$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in high oxygen pressures ranging from 400 to 800 mTorr. Fabricated NdBCO films exhibited only c-axis orientation, good out-of-plane and in-plane textures, and also excellent superconducting properties, including critical temperature ($T_C$) and critical current density ($J_C$) of above 90 K and the highest of $3.1MA/cm^2$ at 77 K in self-field, implying that NdBCO is a perspective alternative to YBCO for coated conductor. In low oxygen pressures ranging from 100 to 200 mTorr, however, the films showed a-, c-mixed orientation and degraded $T_{C,zero}$ values due to the formation of $Nd_{1+x}Ba_{2-x}Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$-type solid solutions with an excessive substitution of $Nd^{3+}$ ions for the $Ba^{2+}$ sites.
