Microstructure characterization of δ-Bi2O3 thin film under atmospheric pressure by means of halide CVD on c-sapphire

Thin films for micro solid oxide fuel cells

“…In the field of Bi 2 O 3 -based electrolytes, ␦-Bi 2 O 3 thin films have recently been produced by CVD [189][190][191]. The authors reported that ␦-Bi 2 O 3 thin films remain stable even down to temperatures of 350 • C. The highly conductive ␦-Bi 2 O 3 changes usually to phases with lower symmetry and low conductivity between 730 • C and 650 • C for microcrystalline Bi 2 O 3 -based ceramics (Fig.…”

δ-Bi2O3 thin films prepared by reactive sputtering: Fabrication and characterization

“…These properties make bismuth oxide an interesting candidate for applications in the fields such as optoelectronics, optical coatings, gas sensors, Schottky barrier solar cells, metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitors, microwave integrated circuits, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Recently, δ-Bi 2 O 3 has been synthesized by electrodeposition [19,21,22] and chemical vapor deposition [12,23]. One severe disadvantage of the electrodeposition is that the substrates must be conductive materials, which limits the use of the substrate materials.…”

Formation of Bismuth Nanocrystals in Bi2O3Thin Films Grown at 300 K by Pulsed Laser Deposition for Thermoelectric Applications

“…[6][7][8][9] Bismuth oxide has four main polymorphic forms; α-, β-, δ-, and -Bi 2 O 3 . Each polymorph possesses different crystal structures and various electrical, optical and mechanical properties.…”
