AbstructWe succeeded in the preparation of strontium-barium niobate (Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6 : SBN30)that have a tetragonal tungsten bronze type structure thin films on SrTiO3 (100), STO, or La doped SrTiO3 (100), LSTO, single crystal substrates by a spin coating process. LSTO substrate can be used for electrode. A homogeneous coating solution was prepared with Sr and Ba acetates and Nb(OEt)5 as raw materials, and acetic acid and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether as solvents. The coating thin films were sintered at temperature from 700 to 1000°C for 10 min in air. It was confirmed that the thin films on STO substrate sintered above 700°C were in the epitaxial growth because the 16 diffraction spots were observed on the pole figure using (121) reflection. The <130> and <310> direction of the thin film on STO were oriented with the c-axis in parallel to the substrate surface. However, the diffraction spots of thin film on LSTO substrate sintered at 700°C were corresponds to the expected pattern for (110).

The incommensurately modulated crystal structures of Ca0.28Ba0.72Nb2O6 (CBN28) and Ce0.02Ca0.25Ba0.72Nb2O6 (Ce:CBN28) were refined in the supercentred setting X4bm(AA0,−AA0) of the 3 + 2-dimensional superspace group P4bm(aa½,−aa½). Both compounds are isostructural with a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type structure. The modulation of CBN28 consists of a wavy distribution of Ba and Ca atoms as well as vacancies on the incompletely occupied Me2 site with 15-fold oxygen coordination. The occupational modulation is coupled with a modulation of the atomic displacement parameters and a very weak modulation of the positional parameters of Me2. The surrounding O atoms show strong displacive modulations with amplitudes up to ca 0.2 Å owing to the cooperative tilting of the rigid NbO6 octahedra. The Me1 site with 12-fold coordination and Nb atoms are hardly affected by the modulations. Only first-order satellites were observed and the modulations are described by first-order harmonics. In Ce:CBN28 cerium appears to be located on both the Me2 and Me1 sites. Wavevectors and structural modulations are only weakly modified upon substitutional incorporation of 0.02 cerium per formula unit of calcium.

A kind of devices Pt/Ag/ZnO:Li/Pt/Ti with high resistive switching behaviors were prepared on a SiO2/Si substrate by using magnetron sputtering method and mask technology, composed of a bottom electrode (BE) of Pt/Ti, a resistive switching layer of ZnO:Li thin film and a top electrode (TE) of Pt/Ag. To determine the crystal lattice structure and the Li-doped concentration in the resulted ZnO thin films, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) tests were carried out. Resistive switching behaviors of the devices with different thicknesses of Li-doped ZnO thin films were studied at different set and reset voltages based on analog and digital resistive switching characteristics. At room temperature, the fabricated devices represent stable bipolar resistive switching behaviors with a low set voltage, a high switching current ratio and a long retention up to 104 s. In addition, the device can sustain an excellent endurance more than 103 cycles at an applied pulse voltage. The mechanism on how the thicknesses of the Li-doped ZnO thin films affect the resistive switching behaviors was investigated by installing conduction mechanism models. This study provides a new strategy for fabricating the resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device used in practice.

In this study, we have investigated influences of the thickness on the structure, surface morphology and resistive switching characteristics of CrOx thin films prepared by using DC reactive sputtering technique. The Raman and FTIR analysis revealed that multiphases including Cr2O3, CrO2, Cr8O21... phases coexist in the microstructure of CrOx film. It is noticed that the amount of stoichiometric Cr2O3 phase increased significantly as well as the surface morphology were more visible with less voids and more densed particles with larger thickness films. The Ag/CrOx/FTO devices exhibited bipolar resistive switching behavior and high reliability. The resistive switching ratio has decreased slightly with the thickness increments and was best achieved at CrOx – 100 nm devices.
