Abstract
Multistep inorganic synthesis of thin films
Highlights
Materials science has fully developed, allowing us to predict almost full of material properties with a high accuracy using the first principal calculation based on the band theory
We found Seebeck effect for thermoelectrics two centuries ago
The result suggests that we need to choose solvents, mixture ratios, and additives depending on atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber conditions
Summary
Materials science has fully developed, allowing us to predict almost full of material properties with a high accuracy using the first principal calculation based on the band theory. Thermoelectrics can recover electricity from waste heat produced by necessity when we use energy. Since these functionalities are expected to dramatically change the energy usage and our life style, researchers have strived to develop high temperature superconductors and thermoelectric materials efficiently generating electricity from small temperature differences. Still, these achievements do not fully meet the demands for the wide distributions to the human society over the centuries. To overcome the difficulties in the current materials science, we need the alternative radical ways to cultivate an untrodden materials science, for example, using a high pressure to change the bond lengths and the atomic arrangements [2]
