PLT(28) ($Pb_{0.72}La_{0.28}Ti_{0.93}O_3$) dielectric thin films have been deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates in situ by a laser ablation. We have systematically changed the laser fluence from $0.5\;J/cm^2$ to $3\;J/cm^2$, and deposition temperature from $450^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. The surface morphology was changed from planar grain structure to columnar structure as the nucleation energy was increased. The PLT thin film with columnar structure showed good dielectric properties. It is shown that the deposition temperature strongly affect the film nucleation compared with the laser fluence.

We investigated the structural and electrical properties of Ba(Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$ )O$_3$(BZT) thin films with a mole fraction of x=0.2 and a thickness of 150 nm. BZT films were prepared on Pt/SiO$_2$/Si substrate with the various substrate temperature by a RF magnetron sputtering system. When the substrate temperature was above 50$0^{\circ}C$, we obtained multi-crystalline BZT films oriented to (110), (111), and (200) directions. As the substrate temperature increases, the films are crystallized and their dielectric constants become high. C-V characteristic curve of the film deposited at high temperature is more sensitive than that of the film deposited at low temperature. The parameters of the BZT film are as follows; the dielectric constants(dissipation factors) at 1 MHz are 95(0.021), 140(0.024), and 240(0.033) deposited at 400, 500, $600^{\circ}C$, respectively; the leakage currents at 666.7 kV/cm are 5.73, 23.5, and 72.8x10$^{-8}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ fo the films deposited at 400, 500, and 600 $^{\circ}C$, respectively; the leakage currents at 666.7kV/cm are 5.73, 23.5, and 72.8x10$^{-8}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for the films deposited at 400, 500, $600^{\circ}C$, respectively. The BZT film deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ shows stable electrical properties, but dielectric constant for application is a little small.ll.

$Sr_xBa_{1-x}Nb_2O_6$(SBN, $025{\leq}x{\leq}0.75$) ceramic is a ferroelectric material with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) type structure, which has a high pyroelectric coefficient and a nonlinear electro-optic coefficient value. In spite of its advantages, SBN has not been investigated well compared to other ferroelectric materials with perovskite structure. In this study, SBN thin film was manufactured by ion beam sputtering technique using the prepared SBN target in Ar/$O_2$ atmosphere. SBN30 thin film of 500 ${\AA}$ was pre-deposited as a seed layer on Pt(l00)/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si substrate followed by SBN60 deposition up to 4500 ${\AA}$ in thickness. SBN60/SBN30 layer was deposited at different Oxygen amount of 0, 8.1, 17, and 31.8 sccm, respectively. The crystallinity and orientation behavior as well as electric properties of SBN60/SBN30 multi-layer were examined. The deposited layer was uniform and the orientation was shown primarily along (001) plane from XRD pattern. The crystal structure and the electric properties depended on the Oxygen amount, heating temperature and was the best at O2 = 8.1 seem, $750^{\circ}C$. In electric properties of Pt/SBN60/SBN30/Pt thin film capacitor prepared, the remnant polarization (2Pr) value was 13 ${\mu}C/cm^2$, the coercive field (Ec) 75 kV/cm, and the dielectric constant 1492, respectively.

Ferroelectric Sr$_2$(Nb,Ta)$_2$O$_{7}$ (SNTO) thin films were prepared by chemical solution deposition processes. SNTO thin films were spin-coated on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/(100)Si substrates. After multiple coating, dried thin films were heat-treated for decomposition of residual organics and crystallization. B site-rich impurity phase, i.e. [Sr(Nb,Ta)$_2$O$_{6}$], was found after annealing, where its appearance was dependent on process temperature indicating the possible reaction with substrate. Dielectric and other relevant electrical properties were measured and the results showed a little possibility in ferroelectric gate random access memory devices.s.s.

Based on the differential electrode equilibria approach, potentiometric YSZ sensors with semiconducting oxide electrodes for CO detection are developed. To improve the selectivity, sensitivity and response-time of the sensor, our strategy includes (a) selection of an oxide with a semiconducting response to CO, (b) addition of other semiconducting materials, (c) addition of a catalyst (Pd), (d) utilization of combined p- and n-type electrodes in one sensor configuration, and (e) optimization of operating temperatures. Excellent sensing performance is obtained by a novel device structure incorporating $La_2CuO_4$ electrodes on one side and $TiO_2$-based electrodes on opposite substrate faces with Pt contacts. The resulting response produces additive effects for the individual $La_2CuO_4$ and $TiO_2$-based electrodes voltages, thereby realizing an even higher CO sensitivity. The device also is highly selective to CO versus NO with minor sensitivity for NO concentration, compared to a notably large CO sensitivity.

Plastic's ease of processing drives its growing production, resulting in a surge of plastic waste. Addressing this issue, catalytic upcycling emerges as a promising remedy. Various metals (Ru, Pt, etc.) and supports (TiO₂, CeO₂, etc.) have been employed for the chemical recycling of polyolefin plastics. Strategies to enhance liquid fuel selectivity and minimize methane include manipulating particle size, introducing heterogeneous metals, and tuning support characteristics. Simultaneously, endeavors to optimize catalysts by reducing precious metal usage were pursued. This study explores enhancing economic viability in hydrogenolysis and hydrocracking reactions, underscoring the potential of catalystdriven upcycling to tackle plastic waste.

Effects of thermal annealing on the dielectric/piezoelectric properties of $Pb(Zn, Mg)_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3-PbTiO_3$ ceramics (PZMNPT) with Zn/Mg=6/4) were examined across the rhombohedral/tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Both the relative dielectric permittivity ($\varepsilon$r)and the piezoelectric constant($d_33$)/electromechanical coupling constant ($k_p$)were increased by thermal annealing ($800^{\circ}$~$900^{\circ}C$) after sintering at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Based on the dielectric analysis using the series mixing model and the concept of a random distribution of the local Curie points, the observed improvements in the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PZMN-PT were interpreted in terms of the elimination of PbO-rich amorphous intergranular layers(~1nm) induced by thermal annealing. A concrete evidence of the presence of amorphous grain-boundary layers in the unannealed (as-sintered) specimen was obtained by examining the structure of intergranular region using a TEM.

The Sr$\_$0.7/Bi$\_$2.3/Ta$_2$O$\_$9/(SBT)thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode (Pt/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si) using a RE magnetron sputtering method. The ferroelectric properties of SBT capacitors with annealing times were studied. As a result of conducting the X-ray diffraction analysis and the electron microscopy analysis, the perovskite phase began to grow from 10 minutes after annealing the specimen, and excellent crystallization was accomplished at 60 minutes after annealing the specimen. The remanet polarization (2P$\_$r/) value and the coercive electric field (E$\_$c/) of the SBT thin film specimen showed the most excellent characteristics at 60 minutes after annealing the specimen, which were approximately 12.40 C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 30 kV/cm, respectively. The leakage current density of the SBT thin film specimen as annealed for 60 minutes was approximately 2.81${\times}$10$\^$－9/A/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

The $V_2O_5$ thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by RF sputtering method exhibited fairly good TCR and dielectric properties. It was found that film crystallinity, dielectric properties, and TCR properties were strongly dependent upon the annealing temperature. The dielectric constants of the $V_2O_5$ thin films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ were 37.7, with a dielectric loss of 2.535, respectively. Also, the TCR values of the $V_2O_5$ thin films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ were about -2.65%/K.
