Effects of defect structures on polarization hysteresis properties have been investigated for Mn-doped BaTiO
3 ceramics. The polarization hysteresis loops are found to strongly depend not only on the oxygen vacancy concentration ([V
O••]) but also on the majority-acceptor (Mn
3+) concentration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the association of V
O•• with Mn
3+ and the following alignment of the defect dipole (V
O••–Mn
3+) along
Ps (spontaneous polarization) provide an energetically favorable defect structure due to the lowering in energy of the Mn-3d
z2 electron. It is concluded that the double-hysteresis-like loop (
P-Edouble) observed with the high concentrations of V
O•• and Mn
3+ originates from the reversible switching of a 90° domain structure stabilized by the formation of the V
O••–Mn
3+ //
Ps configuration.

Much attention has been paid to grain boundaries (GBs) in ceramics owing to the impact on material properties. GB atomic scale investigations have so far mostly focused on the major structures. However, actual GB structure is more complex; there could be multiple types of atomistic structure and different morphology such as step and facet. As a case study to characterize these, we report extensive scanning transmission electron microscopy observations for a zinc oxide (ZnO) [0001] 27.8° (Σ13, in the framework of coincidence site lattice theory) tilt GB doped with praseodymium (Pr) in this paper. In addition to the major structure that covers most of the (25
70) GB plane area [Sato et al., Phys. Rev. B, 87, 140101 (2013)], two types of metastable atomistic structure are found. One is the secondary structure for the (25
70) GB plane area, which is mostly found near facets. The other is a different type of atomistic structure formed in facets. Pr concentration is lower in the secondary structure than in the major structure. It is thus demonstrated that there is a variety in the atomistic structure and chemical composition within a single GB.

We studied photocatalytic activity of highly porous nanotubular TiO
2 films modified with nanoclusters of ubiquitous metal (Ti, Al, Zn, Sn, Cu, W) oxides prepared by chemical bath deposition and atomic layer deposition as well as nanoclusters of metal rich suboxides and mixed titania suboxides prepared by atomic layer deposition by following decomposition of methylene blue under simulated solar light. The mixed titania suboxide clusters constructed on the surface of TiO
2 nanotubes by atomic layer deposition demonstrated significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity in comparison to the naked TiO
2 nanotubes attributed to the better absorption of visible light due to the upward shift of the valence band near the TiO
2 surface induced by the suboxide clusters that feature low valence states and metal-metal bonds.

x, which suggests a decrease in the orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition temperature (
TO–T). The dielectric constant at room temperature was increased by the substitution of Bi, Li and Ti for K, Na, Li, Nb and Sb. In addition, the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant indicated a

3 (BNT)-based solid solutions at a high temperature (~130°C) were studied, by comparing them with those of hard Pb(Zr,Ti)O
3 (PZT) ceramics. The vibration velocity
v0-p of the BNT-based ceramics was stable as the temperature increased to 130°C, whereas that of the PZT-based ceramics markedly decreased with increasing temperature. It is generally known that the stability of
v0-p under high-amplitude vibration is related to mechanical losses caused by domain wall motion. Therefore, the temperature dependence of the mechanical quality factor
Qm of these ceramics was measured by electric transient response measurement. The measured
Qm values of the BNT-based ceramics were nearly constant or slightly decreased with increasing temperature, whereas
Qm for the PZT ceramic markedly decreased with increasing temperature.

The oxygen diffusivity in BaTiO
3 thin films heteroepitaxially grown on SrTiO
3 substrates was investigated using a gas/solid exchange technique with
18O-isotope-enriched gas. Deformation of the BaTiO
3 lattice and inhibition of the oxygen diffusivity occurred simultaneously when the YSZ layer, which is assumed to be catalytic for the
18O/
16O exchange reaction, was deposited on BaTiO
3. The mechanism for the reduction in oxygen diffusivity due to the YSZ cover layer is discussed in terms of residual stress in the strained BaTiO
3 layer.

This paper reports study of zinc (Zn)-antimony (Sb) interactions as well as oxygen defect chemistry in dense SnO
2 ceramics using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Dense SnO
2 ceramics with ZnO and Sb
2O
5 additives with different concentration were synthesized by conventional techniques. Characterization using SIMS revealed the morphology of the SnO
2 ceramics, the concentration of Zn and Sb in SnO
2 grains, as well as segregation and secondary phase formation. The distributions of Zn and Sb were dependent on their concentrations. Oxygen diffusivity significantly decreased by the incorporation of Sb, whereas the diffusivity slightly increased with increasing Zn concentration in the SnO
2 grain. Our results show interaction of Zn, Sb, and oxygen vacancies, suggesting that incorporation of Zn into SnO
2 grains promotes Sb incorporation into the grains.

This study elucidated the effects of coherence and chemical composition on ionic conductivity at columnar grain boundaries of 6 mol % Y
2O
3 doped ZrO
2 (YSZ) thin films. The YSZ thin films were deposited with several orientation textures on MgO (100), Al
2O
3 (102), and SiO
2-glass substrates using metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Impedance measurements revealed the total ionic conductivity of the thin films. The activation energy of the ionic conduction of YSZ thin films on MgO or Al
2O
3 substrates was 90–120 kJ/mol. These films showed similar dependence that simply increased along with decreasing coherency at the columnar grain boundaries. However, that of YSZ thin films on SiO
2 glass substrate showed dependence of the coherency at the columnar grain boundaries, but the value is higher than those of the films on MgO or Al
2O
3 substrates by more than 20 kJ/mol. Structural and compositional analyses clarified that the second phase of SiO
2 is segregated at mid-gaps between columnar grain boundaries in YSZ thin films on a SiO
2 glass substrate. Results show that two factors affect ionic conductivity at the columnar grain boundaries in YSZ thin films: structural coherency and the second phase of ionic insulator.

Anatase titanium dioxide (TiO
2) films have attracted interest as a cathode material for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In order to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of DSSCs, it is necessary to create long electron conduction paths in the film and increase both the specific surface area and light harvesting efficiency (LHE) for incident light. To achieve these, the deposition of TiO
2 composite thin films by constant current electrophoresis was attempted using colloid mixtures of two types of TiO
2 nanoparticles with different sizes and surface properties: ca. 5 nm TiO
2 nanoparticles synthesized in this study (TNPs) and commercial TiO
2 nanoparticles of ca. 20 nm (P25) size. The size of TNPs is too small for visible light wavelengths and it is difficult to deposit thick films with TNPs, so the LHE of these films is low. Various TNP:P25 ratios were investigated to enhance the LHE and PCE for DSSCs. The P25 particles form a matrix structure in the thin film, and the TNPs are incorporated into this structure and fill the spaces between adjacent P25 nanoparticles. The upper limit of film thickness achieved without the film separating from the substrate increased with the mass content of P25. The LHE of the TiO
2 composite thin films was improved and could easily be controlled by adjusting the mass ratio of TNP:P25. The optimal PCE for DSSCs was obtained using TiO
2 composite thin films deposited using a TiO
2 colloid mixture with a TNP:P25 mass ratio of 2:7.

We attempted to fabricate metal/dielectrics composite capacitors exhibiting high effective dielectric constant by a low-temperature wet chemical approach. The green compacts consisting of Ti metal particles, BaTiO
3 fillers, and TiO
2 precursor nanoparticles were successfully converted into Ti/BaTiO
3 composite compacts by the hydrothermal method at 160°C. The effective dielectric constant of these composites tends to increase with the Ti metal content and jumped up to over 10
3 near the percolation threshold. When we used the Ti(core)–BaTiO
3(shell) particles as the metal component, the thin BaTiO
3 shell layers covering on the Ti particles prevented the direct contact among metal particles and increases the percolation threshold. Since the effective dielectric constant of these composites depends largely on the dielectric properties of the BaTiO
3 layers, it is important to control the microstructure of these composites to improve the dielectric properties of such composites.

3 films on STO(001) single-crystal substrates. A (√13×√13)-

3 (LNKN) ceramics in order to obtain a homogenous microstructure and high density (96.1% TD). The effects of the sintering temperature on the microstructure and electrical properties of LNKN ceramics were investigated. The two-step sintering has provided better densification at relatively lower temperature (≦950°C) than that of one-step sintering (1082°C), which suppresses the abnormal grain growth. In addition, the more homogeneous microstructure has been obtained by two-step sintering. The measured dielectric constant, dielectric loss and Curie temperature of the sample for two-step sintering were 666, 2.0% and 454°C, respectively, similar to the values obtained with one-step sintering. Nevertheless, LNKN ceramics prepared by two-step sintering showed higher coercive electric field (=18.8 kV/cm) than that revealed by one-step sintering (=13.0 kV/cm).

3–Al. The reactions were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium composition of the reacting species. The as-SHS products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) technique.

Reaction sintered Si/SiC composite was fabricated to apply to a solar absorber and the fabricated material was evaluated on its basic properties and performance. SiC and carbon black were mixed to shape a honeycomb with a multi-channel via vacuum extrusion process. The Si/SiC honeycomb material was also fabricated with less than 5% of pores by molten silicon infiltration in vacuum. The sintered density and porosity of the fabricated material, and the 3-point bending strength at room temperature and high temperature (1100–1300°C) were measured and the thermal conductivity at room temperature and 1100°C were also analyzed. In addition, the fabricated honeycomb material was modulized and installed to a solar absorber system to measure the outlet air temperature and thermal efficiency and evaluate the performance of honeycomb material as a solar absorber material.

1.4. Both Ca and Pb derivatives exhibited photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of phenol under visible light irradiation, although the adsorption of phenol was observed under dark conditions. The fluorite-type phases evolved from the Ca and Pb derivatives did not adsorb phenol under dark conditions, and their photocatalytic activities toward phenol decomposition under visible light were inferior to those of the parent compounds.

We investigated the self-cleaning efficiencies of titanium dioxide (TiO
2) surface under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in combination with a water flow (UV/water) condition using oleic acid as the model surface contaminant. UV light intensities were varied from a typical indoor intensity level to a representative outdoor intensity level in Japan. The combined UV/water treatment exhibited a much higher self-cleaning efficiency than either condition alone. This suggests that the self-cleaning effect occurred at nanometer-sized photo-induced superhydrophilic domains of the TiO
2 film surface located at the interface of the TiO
2 surface, oleic acid, and air.

ZrB
2–SiC and ZrC–SiC composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering at 1800°C for 5 min under a pressure of 40 MPa with ZrB
2 powder, ZrC powder and SiC powder as the starting materials, respectively. The phase compositions, microstructures, and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show ZrB
2–SiC composite is denser than ZrC–SiC composite. The relative density, an apparent porosity, and the bending strength of ZrB
2–SiC composite are 97.9%, 1.08%, and 310 MPa, respectively, whereas those of ZrC–SiC composite are 89.7%, 1.20%, and 257 MPa.
