Ferroelectric films are growing in significance as non-volatile memory devices, sensors, and microactuators. The stress state of the film, induced by processing or constraints such as the substrate, strongly affects device behavior. Thus, it is important to be able to model the coupled and constrained behavior of film material. This work presents a preliminary study of the application of micromechanical modeling to ferroelectric films. A self-consistent micromechanics model developed for bulk ferroelectrics is adapted for thin film behavior by incorporating several features of the microstructure, mechanical clamping by the substrate, residual stresses, and the crystallographic orientation of the film.

To get a quantitative estimate of residual stresses in polycrystals from XRD measurements, a micromechanical modeling is required, except in particular cases. The most widely used method is only valid for homogeneous and isotropic samples. We present here the possibility to determine residual stresses by coupling measurements with the portable INELTMXsolo equipement with a self-consistent polycrystalline model. This methodology may take into account texture and intergranular stresses induced by thermomechanical treatments. One example obtained for titanium subjected to tensile loading illustrates the methodology.

A novel nanocomposite thin film material of SnO2/WO3 metal oxide compound doped by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and its corresponding gas sensor were prepared by radio frequency (RF) reactive magnetron sputtering. The surface composition and chemical elements of the thin film material were respectively analyzed and validated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The influencing factors of gas sensing properties were studied and the test results of gas sensor were analyzed. The results indicated that the detection using the composite material gas sensors for low concentration NO2 toxic gas could be greatly improved by MWCNTs which were doped on the mixed oxides matrix. A possible mechanism explaining the behaviour of the thin film gas sensor was introduced.

Tin oxide (SnO2) thin film is a form of modification of semiconductor material in nanosize. The thin film study aims to analyze the effect of triple doping (Aluminum, Indium, and Fluorine) on the optical properties of SnO2: (Al + In + F) thin films. Aluminum, Indium, and Fluorine as doping SnO2 with a mass percentage of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of the total thin-film material. The addition of Al, In, and F doping causes the thin film to change optical properties, namely the transmittance and absorbance values ​​changing. The transmittance value is 67.50, 73.00, 82.30, 87.30, 94.6, and 99.80 which is at a wavelength of 350 nm for the lowest to the highest doping percentage, respectively. The absorbance value increased with increasing doping percentage at 300 nm wavelength of 0.52, 0.76, 0.97, 1.05, 1.23, and 1.29 for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% doping percentages, respectively. The absorbance value is then used to find the gap energy of the SnO2: (Al + In + F) thin film of the lowest doping percentage to the highest level i.e. 3.60, 3.55, 3.51, 3.47, 3.42, and 3.41 eV. Thin-film activation energy also decreased with values of 2.27, 2.04, 1.85, 1.78, 1.72, and 1.51 eV, respectively for an increasing percentage of doping. The thin-film SnO2: (Al + In + F) which experiences a gap energy reduction and activation energy makes the thin film more conductive because electron mobility from the valence band to the conduction band requires less energy and faster electron movement as a result of the addition of doping.

Nowadays, one of the most crucial focus in the aluminium-foundry sector is the production of high-quality castings. Mainly, High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is broadly adopted, since by this process is possible to realize aluminium castings with thin walls and high specific mechanical properties. On the other hand, this casting process may cause tensile states into the castings, namely residual stresses. Residual stresses may strongly affect the life of the product causing premature failure of the casting. Various methods can assess these tensile states, but the non-destructive X-Ray method is the most commonly adopted. Namely, in this work, the residual stress analysis has been performed through Sinto-Pulstec μ-X360s. Detailed measurements have been done on powertrain components realized in aluminium alloy EN AC 46000 through HPDC processes to understand and prevent dangerous residual stress state into the aluminium castings. Furthermore, a comparison with stresses induced by Rheocasting processes is underway. In fact, it is well known that Semi-Solid metal forming combines the advantages of casting and forging, solving safety and environmental problems and possibly even the residual stress state can be positively affected.
