In this study, Er3+/Ho3+ co-doped fluorotellurite glass (TeO2-BaF2-ZnF2) were prepared by high-temperature melting method. With the introduction of the network modifier La2O3, the optical active center (Er3+/Ho3+) was improved, leading to the enhancement of 2.7 μm emission. Raman spectra and DSC curve were utilized to evaluate the structural of glass and thermal stability of the glass. La3+ ions increase the thermal stability (ΔT = 147 °C) of the glass, accelerates the transition from [TeO4] to [TeO3+1]/[TeO3] in the glass. Under 808 nm excitation, the maximum fluorescence intensity of 2.7 μm at the La2O3 concentration of 6 mol%. La3+ ions lead to a more compact network structure. Meanwhile, the luminescent center coordination environment is improved, thus reducing the energy loss of ion resonance. The fluorescence intensity of 2.7 μm is enhanced. In addition, a large emission cross-section (8.29 × 10−21 cm−2) and gain coefficient (7.43 cm−1) were obtained. The forward energy transfer coefficient CD-A (Er3+:4I13/2→Ho3+:5I7) in the glass is 2.39 × 10−40 cm6/s. The results show that the introduction of La2O3 improves the luminescence efficiency of this system of glass in the ∼2.7 μm band. Er3+/Ho3+ co-doped fluorotellurite glass (TeO2-BaF2-ZnF2) glass modified by La2O3 is an ideal gain medium material for mid-infrared fiber lasers.

High-temperature thin-film sensors on nickel-based alloy high-temperature components are important for design validation and health monitoring of such high-temperature components, however, maintaining good electrical insulation at high temperatures remains a challenge for the stability and reliability of thin-film sensors. In this study, an insulating coating on nickel-based alloy substrate is proposed to solve the electrical insulation problem of thin-film sensors. A layer of precursor ceramic slurry is prepared on a nickel-based alloy substrate by direct-write printing method, and then a layer of pure precursor liquid is spin-coated on it after vacuum pyrolysis, and then a four-layered structural insulating coating is formed by the vacuum pyrolysis at last. The coatings were characterized by SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD and XPS for surface morphology, elemental content, functional groups, and physical phase composition. The electrical resistance of the coatings was tested at high temperatures and their adhesion at room temperature was tested. Finally, the temperature and thermal shock resistance of the coatings were verified by preparing thin-film thermistors and heat flux sensors on the coating. A high-temperature resistant electrically insulating coating is provided for the preparation of thin-film sensors on high-temperature nickel-based alloys.

Spin coating was used to fabricate 0–3 type BST/PVDF nanocomposite dielectric films using high-concentration suspensions. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) served as the matrix material, incorporating Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 (BST82) and Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST64) nanoparticles, each with a particle size of 200 nm. This study investigates the microstructure, dielectric properties, dielectric temperature spectra, and energy storage performance of the BST/PVDF nanocomposite films with varying volume fractions of BST nanoparticles. The results reveal that as the volume fraction of BST82 and BST64 increases, the dielectric constant, maximum polarization, and remanent polarization increase, while the breakdown field strength decreases. The dielectric constant of the 0–3 type nanocomposite films incorporating BST fits best with the Jayasunder-Smith model across a range of 0 vol% to 20 vol%. Moreover, the maximum discharge energy storage densities of the BST82/PVDF and BST64/PVDF nanocomposite films, at a BST volume fraction of 7 vol%, are 5.74 J/cm³ and 4.21 J/cm³, respectively, under field strengths of 310 MV/m and 270 MV/m. Notably, analysis of the dielectric temperature spectrum reveals that high-temperature dielectric relaxation is primarily governed by the PVDF matrix, with the nanoparticle fillers having no significant impact on this phenomenon. In conclusion, both BST82 and BST64 nanoparticles influence the performance of the polymer films, with BST82-based nanocomposites showing higher breakdown field strength. This study provides valuable insights into the fabrication of high-performance 0–3 type nanoparticle/polymer dielectric nanocomposite films using concentrated BST/PVDF nanosuspensions and the spin coating method.

Lightweight, high-strength ceramic matrix composites with excellent dielectric properties are in great demand in strategic fields such as aerospace and wireless communication. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) spacer SiO₂f/SiO₂ composite with high porosity in the thickness direction was fabricated by combining 3D woven spacer quartz fabric with SiO₂ through a sol-gel process. As a result, the porous SiO₂f/SiO₂ composite with a 3D woven spacer structure (SiO₂f/SiO₂-3DWSS) exhibits a low volume density of 0.71 g/cm³, yet it can support over 30,000 times its own weight without any damage. Additionally, the as-produced SiO₂f/SiO₂-3DWSS demonstrates an ultra-low dielectric constant (ε = 1.67), dielectric loss (tan δ = 7.2 × 10⁻³), and a high electromagnetic (EM) wave transmission coefficient (|T|2 = 98.35 %). Furthermore, the dielectric properties of SiO₂f/SiO₂-3DWSS demonstrate low sensitivity to temperature fluctuations, with the dielectric constant and dielectric loss changing by only 0.39 % and 7.54 %, respectively, when the ambient temperature reaches 400 °C. Simulations further reveal the advantage of SiO₂f/SiO₂-3DWSS over solid structures in EM wave transmission. This work proposes a promising strategy for the design of advanced ceramic matrix composites characterized by lightweight properties and enhanced wave transmission.

Zirconia ceramic is considered as a promising solar absorber material due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. The creation of radiation-induced centers in zirconia ceramic improves its optical properties but usually needs high-temperature or high-pressure conditions. In this work, pulse laser modification and heat treatment are applied to modulate its optical properties in ambient air. Reversible oxygen vacancies are introduced by rapid cooling under short pulse duration laser irradiation. Laser processing parameters is investigated for the formation of broad absorption bandwidth and high intensity. At the optimized laser influence, laser-treated zirconia surface appears black with a reflectivity of less than 5 % in the visible range. Continuously adjustable reflectivity ranging from 5 % to 94 % can be achieved on oxygen-deficient zirconia due to the removal of defects via heat treatment at different temperatures. The introduction and removal of oxygen vacancies are supported by lattice contraction and stress release through XRD and XPS analyses. The enhanced solar absorption is demonstrated with a temperature difference of 7.6 °C under 1 sun illumination, which exhibits potential applications in solar energy harvesting and energy conversion.

The differences in structural and luminescent properties between powders and sol-gel particles obtained from gadolinium vanadate GdVO4 co-doped with Sm3+ (0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 at. %) and Bi3+ (3 at. %) as a function of chemical composition and annealing temperature are presented. The ceramic was synthesised using ammonium metavanadate and gadolinium nitrate as metallic precursors, ethanol and water as solvents, citric acid as a pH modifier, acetylacetone as a chelating agent, and F-127 as a crosslinking agent. The resulting transparent films exhibit a preferential growth along the <220> direction. Moreover, there is an energy transfer mechanism from Bi3+ to Sm3+ (via electric dipole-electric dipole interactions),and depending on the content of Sm3+ and Bi3+, it is possible to tune the luminescent colour response, obtaining blue, pink, white, and red emission. We also observed that the Bi3+ emission band presents a blue shift from 520 nm in powders to 510 nm in films, which also causes a red shift in the co-doped samples. This shift modifies the CIE (Commission Internationale de l' Eclairage) coordinates of the films compared with powders, where the powders emit colours in the yellow region of the spectrum, and the films shift towards the white region of the spectrum.

High-density and orderly aligned ZnO nanowires (NWs) were successfully synthesized on an Al doped ZnO (AZO) seed-layer-coated glass substrate using a hydrothermal method, with ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) subsequently attached to the ZnO NWs via the sol-gel method. Under UV illumination, the ZnAl2O4 NPs/ZnO NWs heterostructure exhibited a remarkable photoresponse factor of approximately 18,000, about 30 times greater than that of pure ZnO NWs. Furthermore, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were sputtered onto the ZnAl2O4 NPs/ZnO NWs structure, where the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of the Au NPs significantly increased the generation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, markedly enhancing the structure's conductivity. This enhancement resulted in a photoresponse factor of 93,825, approximately 150 times that of pure ZnO NWs. These findings confirm the exceptional UV sensitivity of the Au NPs/ZnAl2O4 NPs/ZnO NWs structure, highlighting its potential for applications in high-sensitivity UV photodetectors.

The effect of water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) of different single-layer top films on PET substrates on the stability of the photoelectric performance of the DMD multilayer films was investigated. The results showed that the AZO30 top layer exhibited the lowest WVTR, providing superior barrier properties that effectively prevented water vapor infiltration and subsequent oxidation of the metal layer, thus mitigating surface degradation. Consequently, the TiO₂/Ag/AZO30 multilayer film sustained stable photoelectric performance under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions for an extended period of 24 days. In contrast, films with AZO and ZnO as the top layer showed higher WVTR values and inferior barrier performance, leading to significant degradation of the photoelectric properties of the TiO₂/Ag/AZO and TiO₂/Ag/ZnO multilayers. These findings highlight the critical role of the top layer's barrier properties in enhancing the photoelectric stability of the DMD multilayer films. This study suggests that employing a top layer with low WVTR as part of the multilayer transparent conductive electrode can significantly improve performance stability and long-term durability.

Mid-infrared laser exhibits significant application potential in fields such as national defense, communications, and healthcare. However, despite the fact that the 4I11/2 → 4I13/2 transition of Er3+ ions can achieve mid-infrared emission, the process is limited by two major factors: low absorption efficiency of 808 nm pump light and the "self-quenching effect" caused by the short lifetime of the 4I11/2 energy level. These two factors jointly affect the luminescence efficiency of this wavelength band. To overcome this issue, this study reports a novel Nd3+/Er3+ co-doped KBa0.94Ca0.06Y(MoO4)3 crystal and the effects of different ion doping concentrations and their interactions on the spectral properties are investigated in detail. The emission competition mechanisms in the Vis, NIR, and MIR bands of crystals doped with different concentrations of Er3+ ions under excitation by 808 nm pump light were analyzed. Furthermore, the energy transfer mechanism between Nd3+ and Er3+ was thoroughly investigated. The experimental results indicate that Nd3+ can serve not only as a sensitizer to enhance the population of Er3+ ions at the 4I11/2 energy level through an energy transfer mechanism, thereby increasing the emission intensity in the 2.7 μm band, but also as a desensitizer to suppress emissions in the visible and NIR bands and shorten the lifetime of the 4I13/2 energy level, effectively mitigating the "self-quenching effect". When Er3+ and Nd3+ ions are co-doped at concentrations of 7 mol% and 5 mol%, respectively, the crystals exhibit the highest mid-infrared emission intensity and the lowest pumping threshold, indicating their potential as efficient laser gain media. This study not only delves into the spectral mechanisms of novel laser gain media but also lays a solid theoretical foundation and provides powerful experimental evidence for the practical application of all-solid-state laser gain media in the 2.7 μm wavelength band.

M-type ferrites are promising electromagnetic wave absorbing materials due to their high magnetic loss, strong coercive force and uniaxial magnetic crystal anisotropy. However, because of the poor dielectric loss of pure SrFe12O19, it can be combined with higher-dielectric-loss materials to improve electromagnetic wave absorption. MoS2 is widely used as an electromagnetic wave absorbing material owing to its semiconductor and moderate dielectric loss properties. Herein, SrFe12O19@MoS2 composites were prepared via a hydrothermal method. The results showed that the dielectric loss and electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the SrFe12O19@MoS2 composite are significantly improved compared with SrFe12O19 alone. At a matching thickness of 1.62 mm for SFO@MoS2-I, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reaches −63.06 dB at 11.6 GHz. Furthermore, the effective absorption bandwidth covers almost the entire Ku band with a thickness of 1.30 mm. Radar cross section simulation indicate that SFO@MoS2 exhibits strong electromagnetic wave attenuation. These results demonstrate that M-type ferrites are promising candidate for high efficiency absorbing materials.
