It is generally assumed that oxygen potential in a thin oxide electrolyte follows a linear distribution between electrodes. Jacobsen and Mogensen have shown, however, that this is not the case for thin zirconia membranes in solid oxide…

Solid oxygen is a unique molecular crystal whose phase diagram is mostly imposed by magnetic ordering, i.e., each crystal phase has a specific magnetic structure. However, recent experiments showed that high-pressure $\delta$-phase is…

We show that oxygen vacancies at titanate interfaces induce a complex multiorbital reconstruction which involves a lowering of the local symmetry and an inversion of t2g and eg orbitals resulting in the occupation of the eg orbitals of Ti…
