Iron oxide is a key compound to understand the state of the deep Earth. It has been believed that previously known oxides such as FeO and Fe2O3 will be dominant at the mantle conditions. However, recent observation of FeO2 shed another…
Precisely determining the oxidation states of metal cations within variable-valence transition metal oxides remains a significant challenge, yet it is crucial for understanding and predicting the properties of these technologically…
In this Thesis, a study of the electronic structure of two Ti-based oxide systems, TiO2 thin films and the ultra-thin LaAlO3-SrTiO3 (LAO-STO) heterojunctions, is given. A weak room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM) has been detected in…
Low-dose nitrogen implantation induces in TiO2 nanotubes a co-catalytic activity for photocatalytic H2-evolution. The use of an ion implantation process leads to a N-implanted zone only at the top part of the tubes. The coupling of this top…
W-O deposits with complex morphologies and significant He contents will growth on the surface of plasma facing components exposed to He discharges. To mimic the re/co-deposition process, W-O-He coatings were produced by implanting He+ ions…
Oxygen solubility in solid iron is extremely low, even at high pressures and temperatures. Thus far, no Fe-O compounds between Fe and FeO endmembers have been reported experimentally. We observed chemical reactions of Fe with FeO or…
This paper reviews and summarizes the recent first-principles theoretical studies of the structural stability, electronic structure, optical and magnetic properties of nonmetal-doped TiO$_2$. The first section presents a comparison study of…
Single-layer FeSe films grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates have shown a significant increase in superconducting transition temperature compared to bulk FeSe. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain such enhancement, including…
The genomics approach to materials, heralded by increasingly accurate density functional theory (DFT) calculations conducted on thousands of crystalline compounds, has led to accelerated material discovery and property predictions. However,…
We report the atomic layer deposition of titanium dioxide on carbon nanosheet templates and investigate the effects of post-deposition annealing in a helium environment using different characterization techniques. The crystallization of the…
In this study we report on the film growth and characterization of thin (approximately 50 nm thick) Ti-Fe-C films deposited on amorphous quartz. The experimental studies have been complemented by first principles density functional theory…
We show that the HF acid etch commonly used to prepare SrTiO3(001) for heteroepitaxial growth of complex oxides results in a non-negligible level of F doping within the terminal surface layer of TiO2. Using a combination of x-ray…
The discovery of higher-temperature superconductivity in FeSe monolayers on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) substrates has sparked a surge of interest in the interface superconductivity. One point of the agreement reached to date is that modulation doping…
The interfacial FeSe/TiO$_{2-\delta}$ coupling induces high-temperature superconductivity in monolayer FeSe films. Using cryogenic atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, we obtained atomic-site dependent surface…
The discovery of FeO$_{2}$ containing more oxygen than hematite (Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$) that was previously believed to be the most oxygen rich iron compounds, has important implications on the study of the deep lower mantle compositions.…
The local structure of the parent and doped LaFeAsO1-xFx (pnictide) compounds were studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. In the doped system, the Fe-As and Fe-Fe correlations are well modeled by an Einstein model with no low temperature…
Cerium-doped manganite thin films were grown epitaxially by pulsed laser deposition at $720 ^\circ$C and oxygen pressure $p_{O_2}=1-25 $Pa and were subjected to different annealing steps. According to x-ray diffraction (XRD) data, the…
In view of the recent experimental reports of unexpected ferromagnetism in HfO$_{2}$ thin films, we carried out first principles investigations looking for magnetic order possibly brought about by the presence of small concentrations of…
By means of density functional theory we have undertaken a structural, electronic and magnetic survey of the adsorption of the Fe_xPt_y(x,y=<4) clusters on MgO (001) surface under the generalized gradient approximation. We have tested…
Here we present a study of magnetism in \CTO\ anatase films grown by pulsed laser deposition under a variety of oxygen partial pressures and deposition rates. Energy-dispersive spectrometry and transition electron microscopy analyses…
