    CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> delafossite was prepared using a solid-state reaction method to investigate its optical and electronic transport properties. CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> formed a hexagonal delafossite structure with an R3¯m space group. The positive Seebeck coefficient and the direct optical gap of 3.6 eV confirmed that the CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> delafossite in a p-type transparent conducting oxide. The fluorescence emission at 390 nm (green emission) confirmed that CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> has a direct transition band gap. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated a weight loss of 1.2%, caused by the intercalation of O atoms, which produced hole carriers from the different ionic radii at the B sites. The electric conductivity at room temperature was thermally activated, as predicted by the small-polaron hopping mechanism, with an activation energy of 75 meV and a charge transport energy of 61 meV. CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> delafossite exhibited p-type optoelectronic behavior and is a transparent conducting oxide, which may be crucial in the p-type photonic and electrode industries.

    High temperature electrical and thermal properties of activated bamboo charcoal/C12A7 mayenite composite prepared by carbon diffusion process
    Activated carbon from bamboo charcoal (BC) was diffused into the C12A7 mayenite compound via carbon diffusion process for synthesizing BC and C12A7 composite (BC/C12A7 composite). The BC/C12A7 composite was fabricated by carbon diffusion at holding time 5, 10 and 20 h for investigating electrical and thermal properties at high temperature. Result of XRD revealed the C12A7 structure and confirmed by Raman spectrum. Obtained energy gap showed at 4.93, 5.26, 5.19 and 5.09 eV at holding times of 0, 5, 10 and 20 h, respectively. Electrical conductivity significantly increased with increasing temperature and increased as a function of increasing holding time. Carrier concentration showed approximately 1.27 × 10 <sup>17</sup> , 1.32 × 10 <sup>17</sup> and 2.76 × 10 <sup>17</sup> cm <sup>−3</sup> of 5, 10 and 20 h, respectively. Temperature dependence of thermal conductivity showed as proportion of T <sup>−1</sup> due to phonon-phonon scattering of Umklapp process. The thermal conductivity decreased from pristine C12A7 approximately 0.4 W m <sup>−1</sup> K <sup>−1</sup> in all BC/C12A7 composite samples.

    In this work, Zn<inf>1-x</inf>Ga<inf>x</inf>O, (x=0, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03) powders were prepared using the hydrothermal method with accelerated-microwave heating system. The nanostructure Zn<inf>1-x</inf>Ga<inf>x</inf>O were successfully fabricated via microwave heating method with presenting of the anisotropic hexagonal prism shape in perpendicular to c-axis and self-aggregated nano-particle. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) technique reveled the nanostructure particle size sample of the ZnO and the Ga-doped ZnO as in the range of 80-100 nmand 50-100 nm, respectively. The computer simulation showed the thermoelectric properties of ZnO enhancing by doping Gallium ZnO. The experimental results of thermoelectric properties for nanostructures Ga-doped ZnO nanomaterials was enhanced electrical conductivity and reduced thermal conductivity. The Seebeek value of the Ga-doped ZnO nanomaterials was difference from the ZnO-based. All ZT value of the Gadoped ZnO nanomaterials were higher than that the ZnO-based. The highest ZT value of 0.08 was obtained from2%Ga-doped ZnO at 773 K. The nanostructure of the Zn<inf>1-x</inf>Ga<inf>x</inf>Onanomaterials were completely prepared by the hydrothermal-microwave heating with enhancing thermoelectric properties. The Ga-doped ZnO nanomaterials are potential materials for moderate temperature thermoelectric applications.

    Mechanical, dielectric, thermal and antibacterial properties of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-nanosized C3AH6 cement nanocomposites for smart cement-based materials
    This work aimed to fabricate nanocomposites of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-nanosized C3AH6 cement via a rapid cement hydration for enhancing its micro-hardness, dielectric constant, thermal conductivity, electrochemical and antibacterial properties.rGO-nanosized C3AH6 nanocomposites (∼10–20 nm in diameter) with 1, 2, 3, and 4% weight of rGO, were successfully synthesized from a Ca12Al14O33 and rGO colloid that was rapidly heated with water to a temperature of 100 °C. Nanocomposites of x%rGO-C3AH6 (x = 1, 2, 3, and 4) were characterized using XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and TGA techniques. The chemical composition was confirmed using SEM and EDX characterization. The results revealed a nanocomposited rGO-C3AH6 material with nanosheet and nanoflaked rGO, as well as nanosized C3AH6 particles. The results presented rGO-C3AH6 with high performance multifunctional properties that included enhanced mechanical, dielectric, and thermal properties. The vickers micro-hardness and dielectric constant were enhanced by the effect of rGO-C3AH6 nanocomposites. The thermal conductivity of rGO-C3AH6 was higher than that of C3AH6. The electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties were effectively increased with greater levels of rGO in the material. Its antibacterial activity was confirmed by the formation of clearing zones on a Petri plate seeded with Escherichia coli (E. coli). The diameter of these zones increased with the rGO content. These results confirmed that nanocomposited rGO-C3AH6 was effective in enhancing mechanical, dielectric and thermal properties while serving as a high performance multifunctional cement-based material.

    In this paper, the measurement of grating period in photorefractive anisotropic self diffraction by using digital holography technique is proposed. In our experimental setup, He -Ne laser beam with wavelength of 632.8 nm has been separated and then incident on photorefractive cerium doped barium titanate crystal to produce photorefractive index grating. The transmitted probe beam, which contains phase and amplitude has been expanded and recorded on digital camera. To explore the grating periods, both phase and amplitude of the images are reconstructed by numerical process using computer. Then the grating periods in photorefractive anisotropic self diffraction have been measured. The results show grating periods, holograms and their reconstruction. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

    The CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> delafossite oxide has been synthesized by solid state reaction method for studying thermoelectric properties and measuring thermoelectric generator output electric power. The Finite Element technique was used to compute the output voltage of thermoelectric generator in applying temperature difference on a single bar and a module model with compared to the measurement results. The measurement results of positive sign Seebeck coefficient confirm the p-type conductor of the sample. The properties of Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity are range from 260 to 310V/K, from 7 to16 S/cm and from 2.5 to 3.5 W/cm-K,respectively, in the temperature range of 300 to 960 K. The output voltage of the single bar in dimension 4.2 × 2.5 × 20 mm <sup>3</sup> obtained 0.5 to 3 mV on applying temperature difference from 1 to 10 K closely to the Finite Element result. The computing results of the thermoelectric single bar and module in high temperature reveal the output electric voltage of CuAl<inf>1/2</inf>Fe<inf>1/2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> oxide raises with the temperature and the number of thermoelectric leg increase. In important results, the high value of electric voltage is obtained 0.2 and 0.4 V for the single bar and the module at 950 K. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
