The local structure and oxidation state of the cobalt impurity in SrTiO$_3$ is studied by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The synthesis conditions, under which cobalt predominantly (up to 76%) substitutes the atoms at…
Near or less than 10% Nb substitution on the Ti site in perovskite SrTiO$_3$ results in metallic behavior, in contrast to what is seen in BaTiO$_3$. Given the nearly identical structure and electron counts of the two materials, the distinct…
The effect of local structure on the magnetic and transport properties of the layered perovskites has been investigated. The samples PrBaCo$_{2}$O$_{5+\delta}$, ($\delta$ = 0.80 and 0.67) though crystallize in the same 112 type tetragonal…
Selenium and tellurium are among the few elements that form $AB$O$_3$ perovskite structures with a four valent ion in the $A$ site. This leads to highly distorted structures and unusual magnetic behavior. Here we investigate the Co and Ni…
The local environment and oxidation state of the Fe impurity in strontium titanate are studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The influence of annealing temperature and deviation from stoichiometry on the possibility of incorporation of the…
Rare earth perovskite cobaltites are increasingly recognized as materials of importance due to rich physics and chemistry in their ordered-disordered structure for the same composition. Apart from colossal magnetoresistance effect, like…
In this work, we report the synthesis and investigation of structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of La$_{1.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$(Co$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$)IrO$_6$. Our polycrystalline sample forms as a single-phase double perovskite in…
The effects of Co addition on the chemical and electronic structure of PbTiO$_3$ were explored both by theory and through experiment. Cobalt was incorporated to PbTiO$_3$ during sol gel process. The XRD data of the compounds confirmed the…
Perovskite oxides are attractive for reactions in photo/electrocatalytic schemes, and extrinsic doping is a common strategy for tuning their properties. It is widely known that extrinsic dopants impact the structure and stability of…
The effect of substituting iron and zinc for cobalt in CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$ has been investigated using neutron diffraction and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The orthorhombic distortion present in the parent compound CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$ decreases…
The ordering of cations in the B sublattice remains a challenging issue in double perovskites. In this work, a combined experimental and theoretical approach was employed to investigate the Co/Nb distribution in Ca$_2$CoNbO$_6$ and its…
The local environment and the charge state of a nickel impurity in cubic Ba$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$TiO$_3$ are studied by XAFS spectroscopy. According to the XANES data, the mean Ni charge state is $\sim$2.5+. An analysis of the EXAFS spectra and…
A defect model involving cation and anion vacancies and anti-site defects is proposed that accounts for the non-stoichiometry of multi-valent $A$-site Na$_{0.5}$Bi$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$ based perovskite oxides with $ABO_3$ composition. A series of…
Magnetic properties and bonding analyses of perovskite structure Co$_{4}$N nitride have been investigated within density functional theory using both pseudo potential and all electron methods. In the same time, the structural and magnetic…
We present the results of first-principles calculations on two possible terminations of the (001) surfaces of SrTiO3 (STO), BaTiO3 (BTO), and PbTiO3 (PTO) perovskite crystals. Atomic structure and the electronic configurations were…
Motivated by the recent synthesis of Ba$_2$CuO$_{3+\delta}$ (BCO), a high temperature superconducting cuprate with putative $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ ground state symmetry, we investigated its electronic structure by means of Cu $L_3$ x-ray absorption…
The electronic structures, charge and spin dynamics of the cobalt pnictide compounds ACo2As2 (A=Ba, Sr, Ca) in the paramagnetic state are investigated by using density functional theory combined with dynamical mean-field theory. In contrast…
Polarization induced spin switching of atoms in magnetic materials opens for possibilities to design and develop advanced spintronic devices, in particular, storage devices where the magnetic state can be controlled by an electric field. We…
We have synthesized and characterized different stable phases of sodium cobaltates Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ with sodium content $0.65<x<0.80$. We demonstrate that $^{23}$Na NMR allows to determine the difference in the susceptibility of the phases…
