First-principles study of fission product (Xe, Cs, Sr) incorporation and segregation in alkaline earth metal oxides, HfO2, and MgO-HfO2 interface

Journal Article Liu, Xiang-yang ; Uberuaga, Blas P ; Sickafus, Kurt E - Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

In order to close the nuclear fuel cycle, advanced concepts for separating out fission products are necessary. One approach is to use a dispersion fuel form in which a fissile core is surrounded by an inert matrix that captures and immobilizes the fission products from the core. If this inert matrix can be easily separated from the fuel, via e.g. solution chemistry, the fission products can be separated from the fissile material. We examine a surrogate dispersion fuel composition, in which hafnia (HfO{sub 2}) is a surrogate for the fissile core and alkaline earth metal oxides are used as themore »« less

First-principles study of nitric oxide oxidation on Pt(111) versus Pt overlayer on 3d transition metals

Journal Article Arevalo, Ryan Lacdao ; Escaño, Mary Clare Sison ; Kasai, Hideaki - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Catalytic oxidation of NO to NO{sub 2} is a significant research interest for improving the quality of air through exhaust gas purification systems. In this paper, the authors studied this reaction on pure Pt and Pt overlayer on 3d transition metals using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations coupled with density functional theory based first principles calculations. The authors found that on the Pt(111) surface, NO oxidation proceeds via the Eley–Rideal mechanism, with O{sub 2} dissociative adsorption as the rate-determining step. The oxidation path via the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism is very slow and does not significantly contribute to the overall reaction. However, inmore »« less

The effect of post oxide deposition annealing on the effective work function in metal/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/InGaAs gate stack

Journal Article Winter, R. ; Krylov, I. ; Eizenberg, M. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The effect of post oxide deposition annealing on the effective work function in metal/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/ InGaAs gate stacks was investigated. Using a systematic method for effective work function extraction, a shift of 0.3 ± 0.1 eV was found between the effective work function of forming gas annealed samples and vacuum annealed samples. The electrical measurements enabled us to obtain the band alignment of the metal/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/InGaAs gate stack. This band alignment was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The measured shift in the effective work function between different annealing ambient may be attributed to indium out-diffusion during post oxide deposition annealing thatmore »« less

Effective spin-mixing conductance of topological-insulator/ferromagnet and heavy-metal/ferromagnet spin-orbit-coupled interfaces: A first-principles Floquet-nonequilibrium Green function approach

Journal Article Dolui, Kapildeb ; Bajpai, Utkarsh ; Nikolić, Branislav K. - Physical Review Materials

The spin-mixing conductance (SMC) is a key quantity determining efficiency of spin transport across interfaces. Thus, knowledge of its precise value is required for accurate measurement of parameters quantifying numerous effects in spintronics, such as spin-orbit torque, spin Hall magnetoresistance, spin Hall effect, and spin pumping. However, the standard expression for SMC, provided by the scattering theory in terms of the reflection probability amplitudes, is inapplicable when strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is present directly at the interface. This is the precisely the case of topological-insulator/ferromagnet and heavy-metal/ferromagnet interfaces of great contemporary interest. We introduce an approach where first-principles Hamiltonian of these interfaces, obtained from noncollinear density functional theory (ncDFT) calculations, is combined with charge-conserving Floquet-nonequilibrium-Green-function formalism to compute directly the pumped spin currentmore »« less

Interfacial Transition Regions at Germanium/Hf Oxide Based Dielectric Interfaces: Qualitative Differences Between Non-Crystalline Hf Si Oxynitride and Nanocrystalline HfO2 Gate Stacks

Journal Article Lucovsky, G ; Lee, S ; Long, J ; ... - Microelectronic Engineering

The contribution from a relatively low-K SiON (K {approx} 6) interfacial transition region (ITR) between Si and transition metal high-K gate dielectrics such as nanocrystalline HfO2 (K {approx} 20), and non-crystalline Hf Si oxynitride (K {approx} 10-12) places a significant limitation on equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) scaling. This limitation is equally significant for metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors and field effect transistors, MOSCAPs and MOSFETs, respectively, fabricated on Ge substrates. This article uses a novel remote plasma processing approach to remove native Ge ITRs and bond transition metal gate dielectrics directly onto crystalline Ge substrates. Proceeding in this way we identify (i) themore »« less
