This book was released on 2018 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical properties of perovskite oxide (ABO3) thin films can be tailored through cation deficiency, epitaxial strain, and anion substitution. Similar approaches should be applicable to A2B2O5 brownmillerite materials that consist of alternating layers of BO6 octahedra and BO4 tetrahedra, however, such strategies have yet to be explored in detail in brownmillerite films. In this thesis, Ca2Fe2O5 thin films are synthesized using molecular beam epitaxy, and anion substitution is explored through vapor transport fluorination. Cation off-stoichiometric effects, oxygen vacancy channel orientation, and fluorine substitution are studied through characterization methods such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectivity, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The results suggest that Ca deficiency leads to minimal changes to the lattice parameter, while Fe deficient films exhibit c-axis expansion. Epitaxial strain is shown to control the orientation of the vacancies, which is consistent with previous reports. For fluorination, the mechanism is depended on the orientation of vacancies. When the oxygen vacancies are oriented parallel to the film/substrate interface, fluorination is dominated by fluorine substitution for oxygen, while the mechanism for perpendicularly oriented oxygen vacancies is a combination of both fluorine substitution and insertion into anion vacancy sites.

Download or read book Chemical Solution Deposition of Functional Oxide Thin Films written by Theodor Schneller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first text to cover all aspects of solution processed functional oxide thin-films. Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) comprises all solution based thin- film deposition techniques, which involve chemical reactions of precursors during the formation of the oxide films, i. e. sol-gel type routes, metallo-organic decomposition routes, hybrid routes, etc. While the development of sol-gel type processes for optical coatings on glass by silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide dates from the mid-20th century, the first CSD derived electronic oxide thin films, such as lead zirconate titanate, were prepared in the 1980’s. Since then CSD has emerged as a highly flexible and cost-effective technique for the fabrication of a very wide variety of functional oxide thin films. Application areas include, for example, integrated dielectric capacitors, ferroelectric random access memories, pyroelectric infrared detectors, piezoelectric micro-electromechanical systems, antireflective coatings, optical filters, conducting-, transparent conducting-, and superconducting layers, luminescent coatings, gas sensors, thin film solid-oxide fuel cells, and photoelectrocatalytic solar cells. In the appendix detailed “cooking recipes” for selected material systems are offered.

Download or read book Beyond Born Oppenheimer written by Michael Baer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-31 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCING A POWERFUL APPROACH TO DEVELOPING RELIABLE QUANTUM MECHANICAL TREATMENTS OF A LARGE VARIETY OF PROCESSES IN MOLECULAR SYSTEMS. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation has been fundamental to calculation in molecular spectroscopy and molecular dynamics since the early days of quantum mechanics. This is despite well-established fact that it is often not valid due to conical intersections that give rise to strong nonadiabatic effects caused by singular nonadiabatic coupling terms (NACTs). In Beyond Born-Oppenheimer, Michael Baer, a leading authority on molecular scattering theory and electronic nonadiabatic processes, addresses this deficiency and introduces a rigorous approach--diabatization--for eliminating troublesome NACTs and deriving well-converged equations to treat the interactions within and between molecules. Concentrating on both the practical and theoretical aspects of electronic nonadiabatic transitions in molecules, Professor Baer uses a simple mathematical language to rigorously eliminate the singular NACTs and enable reliable calculations of spectroscopic and dynamical cross sections. He presents models of varying complexity to illustrate the validity of the theory and explores the significance of the study of NACTs and the relationship between molecular physics and other fields in physics, particularly electrodynamics. The first book of its king Beyond Born-Oppenheimer: * Presents a detailed mathematical framework to treat electronic NACTs and their conical intersections * Describes the Born-Oppenheimer treatment, including the concepts of adiabatic and diabatic frameworks * Introduces a field-theoretical approach to calculating NACTs, which offers an alternative to time-consuming ab initio procedures * Discusses various approximations for treating a large system of diabatic Schrödinger equations * Presents numerous exercises with solutions to further clarify the material being discussed Beyond Born-Oppenheimer is required reading for physicists, physical chemists, and all researchers involved in the quantum mechanical study of molecular systems.
