Lead-free Bi0.5(Na0.4K0.6)0.5TiO3 films have been synthesized by a chemical solution deposition method and deposited on p-Si(111) substrate by spin coating. Powder of the precursor solution heated at 650°C was studied by infrared scattering spectroscopy. The structural characteristics and...

ZnO thin films were prepared on silica glass substrates by a sol–gel spin coating technique. The thickness of the films was about 200 nm. At 370 nm in the ultraviolet region, there is a sharp absorption edge that corresponds to the ZnO intrinsic band gap of 3.30 eV. The structural properties...

For chemical solution decomposition process, the precursor solution is a basic factor affecting the quality of the deposited-film. In this paper, we choose (l00)-oriented 0.7[(Bi0.95Ce0.05)0.5Na0.5(Ti0.99Fe0.01)O3]-0.3BiFe0.97Mn0.03O3(0.7NBTCeFe-0.3BFOMn) thin films prepared by various precursor...

In this paper, Au-loaded TiO2 (Au/TiO2) photocatalysts were prepared by photochemical deposition method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated the metallic Au nanoparticles were deposited...

Purpose: Some researchers have found that disasters may have a “blessing in disguise effect” that some disaster sites transformed into more popular tourism destinations; however, no studies have analyzed the heterogeneity of the “blessing in disguise effect”. This paper aims to explore...
