We report the observation of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) at the $(110)$ surface of the transparent bulk insulator SnO$_2$, and the tunability of its carrier density by means of temperature or Eu deposition. The 2DES is…
Lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) has attracted considerable interest as a promising electrolyte material for potential use in lithium batteries. However, its electronic properties are still not thoroughly understood. In this work, density…
Understanding the moisture stability of oxide Li-ion conductors is important for their practical applications in solid-state batteries. Unlike sulfide or halide conductors, oxide conductors generally better resist degradation when in…
It is of great importance to develop inorganic solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, thus enabling solid state Li-ion batteries to address the notorious safety issue about the current technology due to use of highly flammable…
Li containing transition metal oxides are known as good ionic conductors. Performing classical molecular dynamics simulations, the diffusion behavior of Li ions is investigated in crystalline and amorphous phases with the stoichiometries…
We study numerically localised short circuits in Li||Bi liquid metal batteries. In the prototype of a classical, three liquid-layer system, we assume a perceptible local deformation of the Li-salt interface. We find that there always exists…
Doping lithium-ion battery electrode materials LiMO$_2$ (M = Co, Ni, Mn) with impurities has been shown to be an effective way to optimize their electrochemical properties. Here, we report a detailed first-principles study of layered oxides…
Silicon anodes offer high energy densities for next-generation lithium-ion batteries; however, their application is limited by severe volume expansion during cycling. Making silicon porous or nanostructured mitigates this expansion but…
Hydrodynamic electron flow is experimentally observed in the differential resistance of electrostatically defined wires in the two-dimensional electron gas in (Al,Ga)As heterostructures. In these experiments current heating is used to…
Electron transmission through nanosystems is blocked if there are no states connecting the left and the right reservoir. Electron-electron scattering can lift this blockade and we show that this feature can be conveniently implemented by…
We present a physics-based model that accurately predicts the performance of Medtronic's implantable medical device battery lithium/carbon monofluoride (CF$_x$) - silver vanadium oxide (SVO) under both low-rate background monitoring and…
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…
Electron transport characteristics are investigated through some molecular chains attached to two non-superconducting electrodes by the use of Green's function method. Here we do parametric calculations based on the tight-binding…
Metal components are extensively used as current collectors, anodes, and interlayers in lithium-ion batteries. Integrating these functions into one component enhances the cell energy density and simplifies its design. However, this…
The longitudinal transport problem (the current is applied parallel to some bias magnetic field) in type-II superconductors is analyzed theoretically. Based on analytical results for simplified configurations, and relying on numerical…
Moving to larger cell formats in lithium-ion batteries increases overall useable energy but introduces inhomogeneities that influence aging. This study investigates degradation in 21700-type cells with NCM cathodes and graphite/SiOx anodes…
Modern energy applications, especially electric vehicles, demand high energy batteries. However, despite decades of intensive efforts, the highest energy density and commercially viable batteries are still based on LiCoO2, the very first…
We simulate bulk materials under strong currents by following in real-time the dynamics of the electrons under an electric field. By changing the intensity of the electric field, our method can model, for the first time, non-linear effects…
Spintronics is a field of electronics based on using the electron spin instead of its charge. The recent advance in the manipulation of pure spin currents, i.e. angular momentum transfer not associated to conventional charge currents, has…
In layered LiNixMnyCozO2 cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, the spins of transition metal (TM) ions construct a two-dimensional triangular networks, which can be considered as a simple case of geometrical frustration. By performing…
