This book will provide readers with deep insight into the
intriguing science of thermoelectric thin films. It serves as a
fundamental information source on the techniques and methodologies
involved in thermoelectric thin film growth, characterization and
device processing. This book involves widespread contributions on
several categories of thermoelectric thin films: oxides,
chalcogenides, iodates, nitrides and polymers. This will serve as
an invaluable resource for experts to consolidate their knowledge
and will provide insight and inspiration to beginners wishing to
learn about thermoelectric thin films. Provides a single-source
reference on a wide spectrum of topics related to thermoelectric
thin films, from organic chemistry to devices, from physical
chemistry to applied physics, from synthesis to device
implementation; Covers several categories of thermoelectric thin
films based on different material approaches such as oxides,
chalcogenides, iodates, nitrides and polymers; Discusses synthesis,
characterization, and device processing of thermoelectric thin
films, as well as the nanoengineering approach to tailor the
properties of the used materials at the nanoscale level.

Depending on in-plane size, the application of Josephson junctions
varied from the terahertz (THz) oscillator to the single electron
transistors. This book is focused on the study of submicron
Josephson junctions fabricated in high-temperature superconductors
(HTS). The unit cell of layered HTS show intrinsic Josephson
junctions (IJJs) phenomenon. The Cooper pair tunneling in the IJJs
can be affected by quantum phase fluctuations when the resistance
of a submicron stack is in the range of quantum resistance. To
observe this quantum effect, stacks of IJJs of various in-plane
area down to submicron range have fabricated in Bi-2212 single
crystal whiskers using three-dimensional focused ion beam etching
technique. Submicron stacks show a strong suppression in critical
current density. The possible mechanisms for this suppression are
discussed and the data analysis points to the quantum phase
fluctuations as the most likely mechanism of this effect.
Furthermore submicron stacks of a-axis oriented multi layered thin
film of YBa2Cu3O7 and PrBa2Cu3O7 (Y123/Pr123) Josephson junctions
are studied in presence of external microwave irradiation.
