Impact of Rapid Thermal Annealing on the Structural and Piezoelectric Properties of AlN Thin Films

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Aluminum nitride (AlN) is a biocompatible piezoelectric material suitable for energy harvesting in MEMS resonators. Through rapid thermal annealing, a threshold for CMOS‐compatible processes is established. AlN improved its crystallinity and enhanced the piezoelectric coefficient by ∼160%. Devices show an improvement in the electromechanical properties

Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.
