We report measurements of the dynamics of isolated $^{8}$Li$^{+}$ in single crystal rutile TiO$_{2}$ using $\beta$-detected NMR. From spin-lattice relaxation and motional narrowing, we find two sets of thermally activated dynamics: one…
We revisited ab initio evaluations of the energy barriers along the possible diffusion paths of the defects in rutile TiO$_2$. By using a method carefully considering the cancellation of the self-interaction, Ti interstitials hopping along…
We have studied Bi-2212 microcrystals aged at ambient conditions for 40 days. Combined x-ray absorption near edge structure and x-ray fluorescence measurements with micrometer space resolution show both an increase of Cu$^{+}$ with respect…
We report measurements on the high temperature ionic and low temperature electronic properties of the 3D topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se using ion-implanted $^8$Li $\beta$-detected nuclear magnetic relaxation and resonance. With…
Surface corrugation functions, derived from elastic helium atom scattering (HAS) diffraction patterns at different temperatures, reveal that the Cu2+ rows in the (001) surface of LiCu2O2 undergo an outward displacement of about 0.15 {\AA}…
Direct holographic recording in undoped Bi$_{12}$TiO$_{20}$ crystal at 1064 nm is investigated aiming the characterization of diffraction efficiency under action of applied dc electric field ($E_0$). An enhancement of 12-fold in the…
200 nm thick SiO2 layers grown on Si substrates and Ge ions of 150 keV energy were implanted into SiO2 matrix with Different fluences. The implanted samples were annealed at 950 C for 30 minutes in Ar ambience. Topographical studies of…
The LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (001) thin film materials system was studied using in situ, simultaneous x-ray diffuse scattering and specular reflectivity during pulsed laser deposition. Using this method, we are able to measure the time dependence of…
LiNiO2 has high energy density but easily reacts with moisture in the atmosphere and deteriorates. We performed qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the degraded phase of LiNiO2 and the influence of the structural change on the…
We have studied low-temperature magnetic properties as well as high-temperature lithium ion diffusion in the battery cathode materials LixNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 by the use of muon spin rotation/relaxation. Our data reveal that the samples enter…
Using a combination of photostimulated desorption and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization methods, the behaviors of OH radicals on the surface of interstellar ice analog was monitored at temperatures between 54 and 80 K. The OH number…
We have studied diffusion pathways of a silyl radical adsorbed on the hydrogenated Si (100)-(2x1) surface by density-functional theory. The process is of interest for the growth of crystalline silicon by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor…
The angular distributions of elastic scattering of $^{7}$Li, as well as the lithium-induced reaction of one-nucleon transfers $^{10}$B($^{7}$Li,$^{6}$Li)$^{11}$B were measured at $E_\text{lab}$ = 58 MeV. Experiment was done using U-400…
We report $\beta$-detected nuclear magnetic resonance ($\beta$-NMR) measurements of implanted $^{8}$Li$^{+}$ in a synthetic single crystal of $\alpha$-SiO$_2$ (quartz). At 6.55 Tesla, the spectrum is comprised of a large amplitude broad…
Li-ion conductivity is one of the essential properties that determine the performance of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Here, using the density functional theory, we investigate the polaron stability and its effect on the Li-ion…
In this work, we adopt first-principle calculations based on density functional theory and Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the adsorption and diffusion of lithium in bilayer graphene (BLG) as anodes in lithium-ion batteries.…
One prominent structural feature of ionic liquids near surfaces is formation of alternating layers of anions and cations. However, how this layering responds to applied potential is poorly understood. We focus on the structure of…
The diffusion of superoxide radical anions on the surface of TiO2 catalysts is theoretically considered as an important step in the kinetics of photocatalytic oxidation of toxic pollutants. A detailed analysis is performed to discriminate…
