This study was conducted on the structural and electrical properties of (Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 thin films prepared by the sol-gel and spin-coating methods in order to investigate their applicability to electrocaloric devices. All specimens showed a tetragonal crystal structure and lattice constants of a = 3.972 Å, c = 3.970 Å. The mean grain size of specimens sintered at 800 ℃ was about 30 nm, and the average thickness of 5 times coated specimens was 304~311 nm. In the specimen sintered at 750 ℃, The relative dielectric constant and loss of specimens measured at 20 ℃ were 230 and 0.130, respectively, while dependence of the dielectric constant on unit DC voltage was -8.163 %/V. The remanent polarization and coercive fields were 95.5 μC/㎠ and 161.3 kV/cm at 21 ℃, respectively. And, the highest electrocaloric property of 2.69 ℃ was observed when the electric field of 330 kV/cm was applied.

Issues of ferroelectric high-density memories (>64 Mb) indispensable for upcoming ubiquitous era have been on the cell integration less than $0.1\;\mu\textrm{m}^2$ and reliabilities. Thus nanoscale control of microstructures of ferroelectric films with large switching polarization has been one of the issues to obtain the uniform electrical properties for realization of high-density memories. In this study the grain orientations and distributions of BT-based films by spin-on coatings were examined by FEG-SEM/EBSD. Ferroelectric domain characteristics by PFM were also performed to study the dependence of reliabilities on the grain orientations and distributions. It is believed that understandings of the nucleation and growth mechanisms of the a- or b-axis oriented films during the thermal processes such as RTA and furnace annealing affecting on grain orientation and uniformity could be possible based on our experimental results.

The electronic and magnetic properties of Cu-doped GaN with a Cu concentration of 6.25% and 12.5% are examined theoretically using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. The magnetic moment of Cu atoms decreases with increasing Cu concentration. The spin-polarization of Cu atoms is reduced due to the Cu d-d interaction depending on the distance between the nearest neighbouring Cu atoms. Cu atoms exhibits a clustering tendency in GaN. For Cu-adsorbed GaN thin films with a surface coverage of 0.25, the ferromagnetic state is found to be the energetically favourable state with an induced magnetic moment of $0.54\;{\mu}_B$ per supercell.

Thin film of the (Pb$\_$1-x/La.sub x/)(Zr$\_$0.25/Ti/Sub 0.48/) O$_3$(x=0~13[at%]) were prepared by Sol - Gel method. Multi-layer PLZT thin films were fabricated by spin-coating on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate. The crystallinity and microstructure of the films were investigated with the sintering condition. At the sintering temperature of of 600[$^{\circ}C$], the perovskite phase was dominat. PLZT(11/52/48)thin films sintered at 600[$^{\circ}C$], 1[hr] had good dielectric constant (1236), dielectric loss (2.2[%]), remanent polarization (1.38[${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$] and coercive field(16.86[ kV/cm]) respectively.

In this paper, the preparation of lead zirconium titanate(PZT) thin film by sol-gel processing was descried. Thin film coated with thickness of 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ on the stainless steel substrates using the multiple spin-coating process. The crystalline phases of PZT powder and film were investigated by X-ray diffraction pattern and PZT thin film has perovskite structure over 600 C annealing temperature. Corona charging characteristics of the ferroelectric PZT thin film at 600 C were investigated by electrophotographic measurement. A difference in the charging characteristics between positive and negative corona charging was found. The charge acceptance depended in the polarity of corona and the poling of film. According to the D-E hysteresis measurment, PZT thin film can be poled by corona charging without use of top electrode. The remnant polarization in the PZT thin film is generally in the order of 48$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$. From this results, the ferroelectric PZT thin film will be possible to apply for the add-on type imaging formation.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.35}Sm_{0.65}Ti_3O_{12}(BST)$ thin films were deposited on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by a sol-gel spin-coating process. In this experiments, $Bi(TMHD)_3$, $Sm_5(O^iPr)_{13}$, $Ti(O^iPr)_4$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol. Thereafter, the thin films with the thickness, of 240nm were annealed from 600 to $720^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere for 1 hr, and post-annealed in oxygen atmosphere for 1 hr after deposition of Pt electrode to enhance the electrical properties. The remanent polarization and coercive voltage of the BST thin films annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ were $19.48\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 3.40 V, respectively, and a fatigue-free characteristics. As a result, Sm-substituted bismuth titanate films with good ferroelectric properties and excellent fatigue resistance are useful candidates for ferroelectric memory applications.

2/65/35 PLZT stock solution prepared by Sol-Gel processing was spin-coated on ITO coated glass and annealed by RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing). The crystal structure of films was reported based on the observation of crystallization process and microstructure of the film fabricated at different fabrication condition. Films were crystallized into rhombohedral structure by annealing at $750^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. As the annealing temperature increased, the size of rosette structure of the films was grown up from $2.4{\mu}m$ to $15{\mu}m$, dielectric constant was increased, coercive field was decreased 33.82 kV/cm, remnant polarization was increased to 39.84 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and Optical transmittance was decreased.

We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties in Cu-doped InN with the N vacancy ($V_N$) from first principles calculations. There is the long-range ferromagnetic order between two Cu atoms, attributed to the hole-mediated double exchange through the strong p-d interaction between the Cu atom and neighboring N atom. The system of $V_N$ defect in Cu-doped InN has the lowest formation energy. Due to the hybridization between the Cu-3d and $V_N$ states, the spin-polarization on the Cu atoms in the InN lattice is reduced by $V_N$ defect. So, it shows a weak ferromagnetic behavior.
