In materials that are exposed to thermodynamic potential gradients, i.e., gradients of chemical potentials, electrical potential, temperature, or pressure, transport processes of the mobile components occur. These transport processes and…
In the study of colloidal, biological and electrochemical systems, it is customary to treat surfaces, macromolecules and electrodes as homogeneously charged. This simplified approach is proven successful in most cases, but fails to describe…
Oxide heterostructures are a new class of materials by design, that open the possibility for engineering challenging electronic properties, in particular correlation effects beyond an effective single-particle description. This short review…
The surface science of iron oxides is comprehensively reviewed. For the full abstract please see pdf.
The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be derived from first principles and could, in theory, be violated. We…
This note presents a summary and review of various conditions and characterizations for matrix stability (in particular diagonal matrix stability) and matrix stabilizability.
In this review, we propose a summary of the most recent advances in the first-principles study of ferroelectric oxide epitaxial thin films and multilayers. We discuss in detail the key roles of mechanical and electrical boundary conditions,…
Complex oxides exhibit many intriguing phenomena, including metal-insulator transition, ferroelectricity/multiferroicity, colossal magnetoresistance and high transition temperature superconductivity. Advances in epitaxial thin film growth…
Oxide heterostructures are of great interest both for fundamental and applicative reasons. In particular the two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ or LaTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interfaces displays many different physical…
The study of complex oxides and oxide heterostructures have dominated the field of experimental and theoretical condensed matter research for the better part of the last few decades. Powerful experimental techniques like molecular beam…
We generalize the conditions for stable electrodeposition at isotropic solid-solid interfaces using a kinetic model which incorporates the effects of stresses and surface tension at the interface. We develop a stability diagram that shows…
The paper reviews methods used to study the electronic and structural properties of silicon/insulator interfaces. Methodological approaches to study the interface states and charge trapping in the oxide are considered. An overview of…
The possible formation of oxides or thin oxide films (surface oxides) on late transition metal surfaces is recently being recognized as an essential ingredient when aiming to understand catalytic oxidation reactions under technologically…
We analyze the electrostatic stability of insulating surfaces in the framework of the bulk modern theory of polarization. We show that heuristic arguments based on a fully ionic limit find formal justification at the microscopic level, even…
We investigate the stability of electrodeposition at solid-solid interfaces for materials exhibiting an anisotropic mechanical response. The stability of electrodeposition or resistance to the formation of dendrites is studied within a…
Considering both interspecies and intraspecies fluctuations in ultracold bose-bose mixtures, we derive generalized stability conditions against collapse and phase separation. Furthermore, by examining the energy density of the system, we…
Using density-functional theory we assess the stability of bulk and surface oxides of the late 4d transition metals in a ``constrained equilibrium'' with a gas phase formed of O2 and CO. While the stability range of the most stable bulk…
Elasticity theory provides an accurate description of the long-wavelength vibrational dynamics of homogeneous crystalline solids, and with supplemental boundary conditions on the displacement field can also be applied to abrupt…
The possible importance of oxide formation for the catalytic activity of transition metals in heterogenous oxidation catalysis has evoked a lively discussion over the recent years. On the more noble transition metals (like Pd, Pt or Ag) the…
This paper develops a general approach to the derivation of the boundary conditions for hydrodynamic equations for charged and neutral plasma components. It includes both a well-known classical case for pure diffusion, and considers the…
