Thin films can be used to improve the surface properties of materials, enhancing elements such as absorption, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, for example. These thin films provide the foundation for a variety of applications in various fields and their applications depend on their morphology and stability, which is influenced by how they are deposited. Thin films can be deposited in different ways. One of these is a technology called atomic layer deposition (ALD). Professor Fumihiko Hirose, a scientist based at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Yamagata University, Japan, is conducting research on the room temperature ALD of oxide metals. Along with his team, Professor Hirose has developed a new and improved way of performing ALD to create thin films, and the potential applications are endless.

Nanostructuring is considered one of the key approaches to achieve highly efficient thermoelectric alloys by reducing thermal conductivity. In this study, we investigated the effect of oxide (ZnO and SnO2) nanolayers at the grain boundaries of polycrystalline In0.2Yb0.1Co4Sb12 skutterudites on their electrical and thermal transport properties. Skutterudite powders with oxide nanolayers were prepared by atomic layer deposition method, and the number of deposition cycles was varied to control the coating thickness. The coated powders were consolidated by spark plasma sintering. With increasing number of deposition cycle, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased, while the Seebeck coefficient changed insignificantly; this indicates that the carrier mobility decreased due to the oxide nanolayers. In contrast, the lattice thermal conductivity increased with an increase in the number of deposition cycles, demonstrating the reduction in phonon scattering by grain boundaries owing to the oxide nanolayers. Thus, we could easily control the thermoelectric properties of skutterudite materials through adjusting the oxide nanolayer by atomic layer deposition method.
