Interplay between strain, defect charge state and functionality in complex oxides
We use first-principles calculations to investigate the interplay between strain and the charge state of point defect impurities in complex oxides. Our work is motivated by recent interest in using defects as active elements to provide novel functionality in coherent epitaxial films. Using oxygen vacancies as model point defects, and CaMnO3 and MnO as model materials, we calculate the changes i...
متن کاملEnergetics of nanoparticle oxides: interplay between surface energy and polymorphism†
Many oxides tend to form different structures (polymorphs) for small particles. High temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry has been used to measure the enthalpy as a function of polymorphism and surface area for oxides of Al, Ti, and Zr. The results confirm crossovers in polymorph stability at the nanoscale. The energies of internal and external surfaces of zeolitic silicas with open fram...
متن کاملThe chemical state of complex uranium oxides
Uranium oxides are fascinating materials not only owing to their technological significance in nuclear fuel applications [1] but also with respect to their dynamical properties [2], valence orbital configuration [3] and elementary excitations [4]. Understanding of the electronic, magnetic and crystal structural properties of uranium dioxide (UO2) was advanced significantly [5,6] after establish...
متن کاملStructural, Optical and Defect State Analyses of ZnO Nanoparticle Films
Synthesis of ZnO nanostructures films by a co-precipitation followed by the deposition processed onto a glass substrate by spin-coating technique was carried out. The effect of annealing temperatures (from 250 to 325 °C for 30 min) on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO films have been investigated. The structural studies reveal that ZnO films are polycrystalline with hexagonal wur...
متن کاملExperiments on Ladders Reveal a Complex Interplay between a Spin-gapped Normal State and Superconductivity
In recent years, the study of ladder materials has developed into a well-established area of research within the general context of Strongly Correlated Electrons. This effort has been triggered by an unusual cross-fertilization between theory and experiments. In this paper, the main experimental results obtained in the context of ladders are reviewed from the perspective of a theorist. Emphasis...
