In this study, we investigated the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of 0.96(K_0.456Na_0.536)Nb_0.95Sb_0.05-0.04Bi_0.5(Na_0.82K_0.18)_0.5ZrO₃ (KNNS-BNKZ) ceramics based on one-step and two-step sintering processes. One-step sintering led to significant abnormal grain (AG) growth at temperatures above 1,085 ℃. With increasing sintering temperature, piezoelectric and dielectric properties were enhanced, resulting in a high d₃₃ = 506 pC/N for one-step specimen sintered at 1,100 ℃ (one-step 1,100 ℃ specimen). However, for one-step 1,115 ℃ specimen, a slight decrease in d₃₃ was observed, emphasizing the importance of a high tetragonal (T) phase fraction for superior piezoelectric properties. Achieving a relative density above 84 % for samples sintered by the one-step sintering process was challenging. Conversely, two-step sintering significantly improved the relative density of KNNS-BNKZ ceramics up to 96 %, attributed to the control of AG nucleation in the first step and grain growth rate control in the second step. The quantity of AG nucleation was affected by the duration of the first step, determining the final microstructure. Despite having a lower T phase fraction than that of the one-step 1,100 ℃ specimen, the two-step specimen exhibited higher piezoelectric coefficients (d₃₃ = 574 pC/N and k_p = 0.5) than those of the one-step 1,100 ℃ specimen due to its higher relative density. Performance evaluation of magnetoelectric composite devices composed of one-step and two-step specimens showed that despite having a higher g₃₃, the magnetoelectric composite with the one-step 1,100 ℃ specimen exhibited the lowest magnetoelectric voltage coefficient, due to its lowest k_p. This study highlights the essential role of phase fraction and relative density in enhancing the performance of piezoelectric materials and devices, showcasing the effectiveness of the two-step sintering process for controlling the microstructure of ceramic materials containing volatile elements.

Bismuth-antimony-telluride based thermoelectric thin film materials were prepared by metal organic vapor phase deposition using trimethylbismuth, triethylantimony and diisopropyltelluride as metal organic sources. A planar type thermoelectric device has been fabricated using p-type $Bi_{0.4}Sb_{1.6}Te_3$ and n-type $Bi_2Te_3$ thin films. Firstly, the p-type thermoelectric element was patterned after growth of $4{\mu}m$ thickness of $Bi_{0.4}Sb_{1.6}Te_3$ layer. Again n-type $Bi_2Te_3$ film was grown onto the patterned p-type thermoelectric film and n-type strips are formed by using selective chemical etchant for $Bi_2Te_3$. The top electrical connector was formed by thermally deposited metal film. The generator consists of 20 pairs of p- and n-type legs. We demonstrate complex structures of different conduction types of thermoelectric element on same substrate by two separate runs of MOCVD with etch-stop layer and selective etchant for n-type thermoelectric material. Device performance was evaluated on a number of thermoelectric devices. To demonstrate power generation, one side of the device was heated by heating block and the voltage output was measured. The highest estimated power of 1.3mW is obtained at the temperature difference of 45K. We provide a promising approach for fabricating thin film thermoelectric generators by using MOCVD grown thermoelectric materials which can employ nanostructures for high thermoelectric properties.

$Bi_2Te_3$-based alloys have been intensively investigated as active materials for thermoelectric power generation devices from low-temperature (< $250^{\circ}C$) waste heat. In the present study, we fabricated Pb-doped, p-type $Bi_{0.48}Sb_{1.52}Te_3$ polycrystalline bulks by using meltsolidification and spark plasma sintering techniques, and evaluated their thermoelectric transport properties in an effort to develop optimized composition for low-temperature power generation applications. The electronic and thermal transport properties of $Bi_{0.48}Sb_{1.52}Te_3$ could be manipulated by Pb doping. As a result, the temperature for a peak thermoelectric performance (zT) gradually shifted toward higher temperatures with Pb content, suggesting that thermoelectric power generation efficiency can be enhanced by controlled Pb doping.

반도체 특성을 가지는 이차원 전이금속 칼코겐 화합물 $MoS_2$와 강자성이면서 금속성을 가지는 $VS_2$로 이루어진 수평접합 구조를 기반으로 해서, 0%부터 10%까지 2% 간격으로 변형에 따른 쇼트키 장벽(Schottky Barrier) 변화를 밀도 범함수 이론 계산을 통해 연구하였다. 그 결과, 홀의 쇼트키 장벽이 전자의 쇼트키 장벽에 비해 훨씬 작고, 홀의 쇼트키 장벽 높이가 변형에 따라 선형적으로 감소함을 발견하였다. 특히, 8% 이후의 변형에서 홀의 스핀 업 쇼트키 장벽의 높이가 0에 가까워지는 임계 변형값이 존재함을 발견하였고, 이 임계 변형값 이상에서는 스핀 업 성분의 홀이 $MoS_2/VS_2$ 수평접합구조를 통해 쇼트키 장벽 없이 쉽게 흐르게 됨을 알게 되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 향후, 변형을 통한 이차원 전이금속 칼코겐 수평 접합구조 기반 소자 특성 최적화에 중요한 기초자료로 이용될 것으로 기대한다.

As expected for a thermoelectric generator, the voltage decreases linearly, while the power output rises to a maximum. The highest estimated power of $1.3{\mu}W$ is obtained for the temperature difference of 45 K. we provide a promising procedure for fabricating thin film thermoelectric generators by using MOCVD grown thermoelectric materials which may have nanostructure with high thermoelectric properties.

단결정 ingot 성장기술 중 하나인 traveling heater method(THM) 기술을 이용하여 n형 열전소재인 $Bi_2Te_3-Bi_2Se_3$ 고용체화합물을 성장하였다. 고용체 화합물내 $CdCl_2$와 $SbI_3$을 첨가하여 dopant의 영향을 확인하였고 각각의 dopant의 최적의 첨가량[$CdCl_2$ 0.1 wt%(Z: $2.73{\times}10^{-3}/K$), $SbI_3$ 0.05 wt%(Z: $2.29{\times}10^{-3}/K$)]을 확인하였다. THM 기술을 통해 성장된 ingot의 각 부위별 열전특성을 확인해 본 결과 주요 인자들의 표준편차가 낮은 매우 균질화된 특성을 보였다. 또한 $Bi_2Te_3-Bi_2Se_3$ 고용체화합물의 비등방성 지수와 dopant와의 관계를 확인하기 위하여 $90(Bi_2Te_3)10(Bi_2Se_3)$ 조성의 고용체화합물에 donor dopant로서 $CdCl_2$(0.05~0.1 wt%)을 첨가하여 dopant의 증가에 따른 비등방성 지수의 변화를 확인해본 결과 dopant가 증가함에 따라 비등방성 지수가 변하는 것을 확인하였고 이러한 비등방성 지수의 변화가 실제 열전성능에 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.
