Abstract
YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO) cuprates are semiconductive when oxygen depleted (x < 0.5). They can be used for uncooled thermal detection in the near-infrared: (i) low temperature deposition on silicon substrates, leading to an amorphous phase (a-YBCO); (ii) pyroelectric properties exploited in thermal detectors offering both low noise and fast response above 1 MHz. However, a-YBCO films exhibit a small direct current (DC) electrical conductivity, with strong non-linearity of current-voltage plots. Calcium doping is well known for improving the transport properties of oxygen-rich YBCO films (x > 0.7). In this paper, we consider the performances of pyroelectric detectors made from calcium-doped (10 at. %) and undoped a-YBCO films. First, the surface microstructure, composition, and DC electrical properties of a-Y0.9Ca0.1Ba2Cu3O6+x films were investigated; then devices were tested at 850 nm wavelength and results were analyzed with an analytical model. A lower DC conductivity was measured for the calcium-doped material, which exhibited a slightly rougher surface, with copper-rich precipitates. The calcium-doped device exhibited a higher specific detectivity (D*=7.5×107 cm·Hz/W at 100 kHz) than the undoped device. Moreover, a shorter thermal time constant (<8 ns) was inferred as compared to the undoped device and commercially available pyroelectric sensors, thus paving the way to significant improvements for fast infrared imaging applications.

Abstract
Because of the complexity, high reactivity, and continuous evolution of the silicon-electrolyte interphase (SiEI), "individual" constituents of the SiEI were investigated to understand their physical, electrochemical, and mechanical properties. For the analysis of these intrinsic properties, known SiEI components (i.e., SiO2, Li2Si2O5, Li2SiO3, Li3SiOx, Li2O, and LiF) were selected and prepared as amorphous thin films. The chemical composition, purity, morphology, roughness, and thickness of prepared samples were characterized using a variety of analytical techniques. On the basis of subsequent analysis, LiF shows the lowest ionic conductivity and relatively weak, brittle mechanical properties, while lithium silicates demonstrate higher ionic conductivities and greater mechanical hardness. This research establishes a framework for identifying components critical for stabilization of the SiEI, thus enabling rational design of new electrolyte additives and functional binders for the development of next-generation advanced Li-ion batteries utilizing Si anodes.

Abstract
Utilization of the N,C,N-chelating ligand L (L={2,6-(Me2 NCH2 )2 C6 H3 }- ) in the chemistry of 13 group elements provided either N→In coordinated monomeric chalcogenides LIn(μ-E4 ) (E=S, Se) with unprecedented InE4 inorganic ring or monomeric chalcogenolates LM(EPh)2 (M=Ga, In). Complex LGa(SePh)2 was selected as the most suitable single source precursor (SSP) for the deposition of amorphous semiconducting GaSe thin films using spin coating method.

Abstract
The functional properties and technological utility of polycrystalline materials are largely determined by the structure, geometry, and spatial distribution of their multitude of crystals. However, crystallization is seeded through stochastic and incoherent nucleation events, limiting the ability to control or pattern the microstructure, texture, and functional properties of polycrystalline materials. We present a universal approach that can program the microstructure of materials through the coherent seeding of otherwise stochastic homogeneous nucleation events. The method relies on creating topographic variations to seed nucleation and growth at designated locations while delaying nucleation elsewhere. Each seed can thus produce a coherent growth front of crystallization with a geometry designated by the shape and arrangement of seeds. Periodic and aperiodic crystalline arrays of functional materials, such as semiconductors, can thus be created on demand and with unprecedented sophistication and ease by patterning the location and shape of the seeds. This approach is used to demonstrate printed arrays of organic thin-film transistors with remarkable performance and reproducibility owing to their demonstrated spatial control over the microstructure of organic and inorganic polycrystalline semiconductors.
