Epitaxial (0001)-oriented Zn1-xCoxO (x= 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1) thin films were grown on c-sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The XRD analysis, optical transmittance and XPS measurements revealed that the Co2+ substituted Zn2+ ions were incorporated into the lattice of ZnO in Zn1-xCoxO thin films. The electrical properties measurements revealed that the Co concentration had a non- monotonic influence on the electrical properties of the Zn1-xCoxO thin films due to the defects resulted from imperfections induced by Co substitution. The resistivity remarkably increased and the carrier concentration remarkably decreased in Zn1-x CoxO thin films after oxygen annealing at 600 ℃ under 15 Pa O2 pressure for 60 mins. Room-temperature ferromagnetic was observed and the ferromagnetic Co amount was smaller than the nominal Co concentration for Zn1-xCoxO samples before oxygen annealing. After oxygen annealing, the Zn1-x CoxO thin films exhibited paramagnetic behavior. It is suggested that the room-temperature ferromagnetic ofZn1-x CoxO thin films may attribute to defects or carriers induced mechanism.

1wt% multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNTs) reinforced alumina composites was sintered to full density by spark plasma sintering. And pure alumina and graphite/alumina composites were also prepared by the same way for comparison. Indentation and single edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) toughness were measured respectively. The experimental results show that MWNTs could not improve toughness of alumina too much as that once expected. And SEVNB toughness was more valid than indentation toughness.

Iridium thin films have been deposited on Si3N4(100 nm)/Si(100) substrates by magnetron sputtering. And then iridium film micro-patterns were fabricated by ion milling technique. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements reveal that there is a very fiat and smooth surface with an average roughness of 0.64 nm for the iridium films. The X-ray diffraction also reveals that the deposited iridium films have a polycrystalline microstructure with (111) plane preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the iridium films was also measured and discussed.

Skutterudite CoAs3 is a potentially important thermoelectric material. Morse potential is employed here to carry out molecular dynamics simulations of nanobulk CoAs3 at the temperature of 0 K. The stress-strain relationships under uniaxial tensile and/or compressive strain are obtained. The elastic modulus, extreme strength and deformation mechanism are studied. The simulation results indicate that nanobulk CoAs3 abruptly ruptures at much higher strain level under tension than conventional bulk CoAs3. Both the extreme stresses under tension and compression are much higher than those of conventional bulk CoAs3.

Fe doped In2O3 samples (In1-xFex)2O3 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) on glass substrate were prepared by sol-gel method. The XRD results demonstrate that the solubility of Fe ions in In2O3 matrix is around 20%, above which impurity phase can be observed. The transmittance of the samples with x=0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 are above 80% in the visible region while the transimittance of the glass is 90%. The transmittance curves slightly red-shifts as x increasing. All of the samples except x=0 are ferromagnetic at room temperature. The highest saturation magnetization moment is reached in the sample x=0.2 with 330 emu/cm3, and the coercive force is 169 Oe which is also the largest in our samples. The results indicate that the addition of Fe ions could tune the structure, the ferromagnetism and optical property in the In2O3 matrix.
