Abstract

We explore the feasibility of growing epitaxial Ti-doped -Fe2O3 in which Ti(IV) substitutes for Fe(III) preferentially in one magnetic sublattice, but not the other. Such a structure has been predicted by first-principles theory to be energetically likely, and is expected to yield interesting and useful magnetic and electronic properties. However, we find that a majority of Ti dopants disperse and occupy random cation sites in both magnetic sublattices. Density functional theory predicts that the magnetically ordered and magnetically random structures are nearly isoenergetic.

Surface and interface structures of epitaxial ZrO{sub 2} films on Pt(111): Experiment and density-functional theory calculations

Meinel, K. ; Foerster, S. ; Schindler, K.-M. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have been applied to study misfit-induced structures of the surface and interface of thin ZrO{sub 2} films on Pt(111). The ZrO{sub 2} films have been prepared by reactive deposition of Zr in an O{sub 2} atmosphere as well as by postannealing in an O{sub 2} atmosphere. Several structures of the surface and the interface have been observed depending on film thickness and preparation. After deposition, the films display a ZrO{sub 2}(111)-(1x1) structure which shows a tendency towards a continuous rotation within an angle range of {+-}6 deg. . Atmore »« less

Structure of AgI-doped Ge-In-S glasses: Experiment, reverse Monte Carlo modelling, and density functional calculations

Chrissanthopoulos, A. ; Jovari, P. ; Kaban, I. ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

We report an investigation of the structure and vibrational modes of Ge-In-S-AgI bulk glasses using X-ray diffraction, EXAFS spectroscopy, Reverse Monte-Carlo (RMC) modelling, Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. The combination of these techniques made it possible to elucidate the short- and medium-range structural order of these glasses. Data interpretation revealed that the AgI-free glass structure is composed of a network where GeS{sub 4/2} tetrahedra are linked with trigonal InS{sub 3/2} units; S{sub 3/2}Ge-GeS{sub 3/2} ethane-like species linked with InS{sub 4/2}{sup -} tetrahedra form sub-structures which are dispersed in the network structure. The addition of AgI into themore »« less

The structure of hematite (a-Fe2O3) (001) surfaces in aqueous media: Scanning tunneling microscopy and resonant tunneling calculations of coexisting O and Fe terminations.

Eggleston, Carrick M ; Stack, Andrew G ; Rosso, Kevin M ; ... - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

The iron oxide-water interface is of interest not only in geochemical and environmental processes, but also in fields ranging from corrosion to photocatalysis. The structure of {alpha}-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} (001) surfaces is not fully understood, and questions have arisen recently concerning different terminations of (001) terraces; a so-called Fe-termination is expected, but under some conditions an O-termination may also be possible. Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscope (STM) studies report evidence for an O-termination in coexistence with an Fe-termination, but other studies find no evidence for an O-termination. Molecular mechanics studies suggest that an O-termination should be possible in anmore »« less
