We investigate energetic stability and dissociation dynamics of water adsorption at the LaAlO3 surface of the n-type LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interface and its effect on electronic properties of the interface by carrying out first-principles…
Doped lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO) is a promising class of solid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries due to their good electrochemical stability and compatibility with Li metal anodes. Ionic diffusivity in these ceramics is…
Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) play an essential role in modern optoelectronic devices through their combination of electrical conductivity and optical transparency. We review recent progress in our understanding of multi-component…
We fabricated ultrathin ferroelectric/correlated electron oxide heterostructures composed of the ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 and the correlated electron oxide (CEO) La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 on SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser epitaxy. The hole…
We report studies on the vibrational and elastic behavior of lithium oxide, Li2O around its superionic transition temperature. Phonon frequencies calculated using the ab-initio and empirical potential model are in excellent agreement with…
High contact resistance remains a central obstacle to the integration of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors in electronic devices. Recent advances have demonstrated that contact performance can be dramatically improved through interface…
Phonon liquid-like thermal conduction in the solid state enables superionic conductors to serve as efficient thermoelectric device candidates. While liquid-like motion of ions effectively suppresses thermal conductivity (\kappa), their high…
BaSnO$_3$ (BSO) is a promising transparent conducting oxide (TCO) with reported room-temperature (RT) Hall mobility exceeding 320 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. Among perovskite oxides, it has the highest RT mobility, about 30 times higher than…
Ion transport is an essential operation in some models of quantum information processing, where fast ion shuttling with minimal motional excitation is necessary for efficient, high-fidelity quantum logic. While fast and cold ion shuttling…
The stoichiometric antiferromagnetic insulator EuTiO$_3$ is proximate to a ferroelectric phase. Whereas cation substitution has been used as a tuning parameter to introduce charge carriers and manipulate the magnetism, the effects of…
Charge transfer is of particular importance in manipulating the interface physics in transition-metal oxide heterostructures. In this work, we have fabricated epitaxial bilayers composed of polar 3d LaMnO3 and nonpolar 5d SrIrO3. Systematic…
To realize a chemical diffusion experiment for simple quantitative analysis of one-dimensional diffusion profiles requires the fabrication of a planar and chemically sharp interface between two phases, one serving as the diffusion source…
Surface diffusion on metal oxides is key in many areas of materials technology, yet it has been scarcely explored at the atomic scale. This work provides phenomenological insights from scanning tunneling microscopy on the link between…
Stable and fast ionic conductors for magnesium cathode materials have the prospect of enabling high energy density batteries beyond current Lithium-ion technologies. So far, only a few candidate materials have been identified leading to…
The unified 3D phase-field model for the description of the lithium-ion cell as a whole is developed. The model takes into account the realistic distribution of particles in porous electrodes, percolative transport of ions, and the…
The relationship between the spatiotemporal distribution of oxygen transport and blood flow dynamics, accounting for the motion and deformation of individual red blood cells (RBCs), is of fundamental importance for understanding…
Hydrogen intercalation in solids is common, complicated, and very difficult to monitor. In a new approach to the problem, we have studied the profile of hydrogen diffusion in single-crystal nanobeams and plates of VO2, exploiting the fact…
Polar discontinuities and redox reactions provide alternative paths to create two-dimensional electron liquids (2DELs) at oxide interfaces. Herein, we report high mobility 2DELs at interfaces involving SrTiO3 (STO) achieved using polar…
Interfacial charge transfer is widely assumed to obey Butler-Volmer kinetics. For certain liquid-solid interfaces, Marcus-Hush-Chidsey theory is more accurate and predictive, but it has not been applied to porous electrodes. Here we report…
Hydrogen contamination in Josephson junctions is a potential source of device-to-device variability and two-level-system loss in superconducting qubits. In this work, we investigate hydrogen incorporation in oxidized aluminum barriers by…
