The effect of Co dopant on the (La, Sr)MnO3 cathode was investigated. La2Zr2O7 and SrZrO3 were formed as the reaction products between YSZ and LSMC. The reactivity of LSMC with YSZ increased with increasing Co content. However, the cathodic polarization resistance decreased with increasing Co doping. Therefore, doping Co at Mn site in the (La, Sr)MnO3 cathode was effective on controlling the polarization resistance of the cathode. The polarization property of LSMC-YSZ composite(60 wt%: 40 wt%) cathode was better than that of LSMC single cathode.

The electrochemical properties of Mg-doped $LiFe_{0.48}Mn_{0.48}Mg_{0.04}PO_4$ and pure $LiFe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}PO_4$ olivine cathodes are examined and the lattice parameters are refined by Rietveld analysis. The calculated atomic parameters from the refinement show that $Mg^{2+}$ doping has a significant effect in the olivine $LiFeMnPO_4$ structure. The unit cell volume is 297.053(2) ${\AA}^3$ for pure $LiFe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}PO_4$ and is decreased to 296.177(1) ${\AA}^3$ for Mg-doped $LiFe_{0.48}Mn_{0.48}Mg_{0.04}PO_4$ sample. The doping of $Mg^{2+}$ cation with atomic radius smaller than $Mn^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ ion induces longer Li-O bond length in $LiO_6$ octahedra of the olivine structure. The larger interstitial sites in $LiO_6$ octahedra facilitate the lithium ion migration and also enhance the diffusion kinetics of olivine cathode material. The $LiFe_{0.48}Mn_{0.48}Mg_{0.04}PO_4$ sample with larger Li-O bond length delivers higher discharge capacities and also notably increases the rate capability of the electrode.

Magnetic and electronic properties of reduced rutile titanium dioxide $(TiO_{2-\delta})$ thin films doped by Mn have been investigated. The present sol-gel-grown semiconducting $TiO_{2-\delta}:Mn$ films exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature for a limited range of Mn content. The Mn-doped films have p-type electrical conductivity with the carrier concentration near $10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$. The observed room-temperature ferromagnetism is believed to be intrinsic but not related to free carriers such as holes. Oxygen vacancies are likely to contribute to the room-temperature ferromagnetism-trapped carriers in oxygen vacancies can mediate a ferromagnetic coupling between neighboring $Mn^{+3}$ ions. The energy band-gap change due to the Mn doping measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry exhibits a red-shift compared to that of the undoped sample at low Mn content. It is explainable in terms of strong spin-exchange interactions between Mn ion and the carrier.

Mn doped {{{{ {Zn {Ga }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} thin film phosphors were prepared on Si(100) wafers and ITO coated glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique and the effects of the substrates dopant and the sputtering paramet-ers were analyzed, Changes of the oreintation were observed after annealine tratment. The grain size of {{{{ {Zn {Ga }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} : Mn thin film deposited on Si wafer was smaller than that on ITO/glass substrate which resulted in higher PL intensity. The PL spectra of Mn doped {{{{ {Zn {Ga }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} thin films showed sharp green luminescence spec-trum. According to CL spectrum it could be concluded that Mn ions acted as an actuator for green emission by substituting Zn atom sites.

$Mn_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ powders have been fabricated by using sol-gel methods; their crystallographic and magnetic properties were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The $Mn_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ ferrite powders annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ had a single spinel structure regardless of the $Mn^{2+}$-doping amount and their lattice constants became larger as the $Mn^{2+}$ concentration was increased. Their Mossbauer spectra measured at room temperature were fitted with 2 Zeeman sextets due to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of Fe ions, which made them ferrimagnetic. The magnetic behavior of $Mn_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ powders showed that the $Mn^{2+}$-doping amount made their saturation magnetization increase, but there were no severe effects on their coercivities. The saturation magnetization of the $Mn_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ powder varied from 38 emu/g to 70.0 emu/g and their minimum coercivity was 111.1 Oe.

In this study, the dielectric and polarization properties of manganese (Mn% = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5) doped (Pb_0.93La_0.07)(Zr_0.82Ti_0.18)O₃ (PLZT 7/82/18) anti-ferroelectric ceramics were studied for energy storage capacitor and pyroelectric applications. A systematic investigation demonstrated that the electric properties of PLZT 7/82/18 ceramics are affected significantly by the Mn-doping content. A maximum dielectric constant of ~ 2,128 at 1 kHz was found for 0.1% Mn-doped PLZT ceramics with a low dielectric loss of 0.018. The bipolar polarization versus electric field (P-E) hysteresis loops were traced for all compositions showing a typical anti-ferroelectric nature. The breakdown field was found to decrease with Mn-doping. The energy storage density and efficiency were found to be 460 J/㎤ and ~ 63%, respectively, for 0.2% Mn-doped PLZT ceramics. The pyroelectric coefficient of PLZT ceramics shows an increase based on the amount of Mn-doping.

This study investigates the effect of MnO2 and CuO as acceptor additives on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.95}Li_{0.05}Nb_{0.93}Sb_{0.07}O_3-0.04BaZrO_3$, which has a rhombohedral-tetragonal phase boundary composition. $MnO_2$ and CuO-added $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.95}Li_{0.05}Nb_{0.93}Sb_{0.07}O_3-0.04BaZrO_3$ ceramics sintered at a relatively low temperature of $1020^{\circ}C$ show a pure perovskite phase with no secondary phase. As the addition of $MnO_2$ and CuO increases, the sintered density and grain size of the resulting ceramics increases. Due to the difference in the amount of oxygen vacancies produced by B-site substitution, Cu ion doping is more effective for uniform grain growth than Mn ion doping. The formation of oxygen vacancies due to B-site substitution of Cu or Mn ions results in a hardening effect via ferroelectric domain pinning, leading to a reduction in the piezoelectric charge coefficient and improvement of the mechanical quality factor. For the same amount of additive, the addition of CuO is more advantageous for obtaining a high mechanical quality factor than the addition of $MnO_2$.

This study describes the doping effect of $Yb_2O_3$ on microstructure, electrical and dielectric properties of $ZnO-V_2O_5-MnO_2-Nb_2O_5$ (ZVMN) ceramic semiconductors sintered at a temperature as low as $900^{\circ}C$. As the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ increases, the ceramic density slightly increases from 5.50 to $5.54g/cm^3$; also, the average ZnO grain size is in the range of $5.3-5.6{\mu}m$. The switching voltage increases from 4,874 to 5,494 V/cm when the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ is less than 0.1 mol%, whereas further doping decreases this value. The ZVMN ceramic semiconductors doped with 0.1 mol% $Yb_2O_3$ reveal an excellent nonohmic coefficient as high as 70. The donor density of ZnO gain increases in the range of $2.46-7.41{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ with increasing doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ and the potential barrier height and surface state density at the grain boundaries exhibits a maximum value (1.25 eV) at 0.1 mol%. The dielectric constant (at 1 kHz) decreases from 592.7 to 501.4 until the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ reaches 0.1 mol%, whereas further doping increases it. The value of $tan{\delta}$ increases from 0.209 to 0.268 with the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$.
