Growth Mechanism, Microstructure, and Surface Modification of Nanostructured CeO2 Films by Chemical Solution Deposition

Spontaneous Outcropping of Self‐Assembled Insulating Nanodots in Solution‐Derived Metallic Ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Films

“…[20] We also note that this fully strained state is not usually observed in films grown by CSD. [21][22][23] The surface morphology of the CSD-LSMO films was found to strongly evolve with thermal annealing conditions. While at 900 8C a granular structure (epitaxial grains with a grain size of a few tens of nm) is observed in the atomic force microscope (AFM) images, at 1000 8C atomically flat surfaces are developed over more than 90% of the surface area.…”

Nanosized Glass Frit as an Adhesion Promoter for Ink‐Jet Printed Conductive Patterns on Glass Substrates Annealed at High Temperatures

“…The grain and pore sizes of the annealed metal films determine their surface roughness, which directly affects the film quality. [25] The surface roughness decreased from an rms value of 314 to 140 nm by adding the glass frit. This suggests that the glass conductive films with and without added glass frit undergo different microstructural development during the annealing.…”

Hydrothermal synthesis and photoluminescence behavior of CeO2 nanowires with the aid of surfactant PVP

“…Cerium oxide (CeO 2 ), a technologically important material, has earned intensive interest in the past decades for its commercial applications, such as catalysts, oxygen sensors, solid electrolytes, and absorbents [6][7][8][9]. As a consequence, much effort has been devoted to the fabrication of CeO 2 films [10] and various CeO 2 nanostructures including flowerlike [11], mesoporous [12], and dendrite-like ceria [13]. Recently, the 1D CeO 2 nanostructure has drawn much attention for its peculiar behaviors.…”
