Highly oxygen defective cerium oxide, e.g. Gd-doped ceria is a sustainable non-classical electrostrictor with electromechanical properties that are superior to lead-based piezoelectric metal oxides. Here, we report electrostriction in…
Oxygen defective cerium oxides exhibits a non classical giant electromechanical response that is superior to lead based electrostrictors. In this work, we report the key role of acceptor dopants, with different size and valence Mg2+, Sc3+,…
Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates…
In light of the recent discovery of giant electrostriction in defective fluorites, here we investigate the interplay between mechanical, electrochemical and electromechanical properties of oxygen defective ceria compositions as the effect…
Lead free, silicon compatible materials showing large electromechanical responses comparable to, or better than conventional relaxor ferroelectrics, are desirable for various nanoelectromechanical devices and applications. Defect-engineered…
Ceria (CeO$_{2}$) co-doping has been suggested as a means to achieve ionic conductivities that are significantly higher than those in singly-doped systems. Rekindled interest in this topic over the last decade has given rise to claims of…
We investigate the effect of Ce$^{3+}$ substitution on the magnetic ordering and phonon dynamics of the GdCrO$_3$ orthorhombic perovskite. The Ce doped compound exhibits long-range canted antiferromagnetism with Neel transitions, T$_N$ at…
Here we develop and characterize high thermal conductivity/high thermal shock resistant bulk Ce doped Al2O3 and propose it as a new phosphor converting capping layer for high-powered/high-brightness solid-state white lighting (SSWL). The…
We investigated the structural evolution and optical properties of beta-Ga2O3 crystals implanted with different rare-earth (RE) ions using channeling Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry, Positron Annihilation, Photoluminescence, and…
Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2) is one of the most promising mixed ionic and electronic conducting materials. Previous atomistic analysis has covered widely the effects of substitution on oxygen vacancy migration. However, an in-depth analysis…
Effect of an internal chemical pressure on structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties in Bi0.9RE0.1FeO3 Ceramics (RE =Gd3+,Tb3+,Dy3+)has been studied extensively. Some of the highlights are as follows; 1. Coexistence of…
Thin films of cerium dioxide (CeO2) were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at 250 {\deg}C on both Si and TiN substrates. The ALD growth produces CeO2 films with polycrystalline cubic phase on both substrates. However, the films…
The electronic structures of supercells of CeO$_{2-\delta}$ have been calculated within the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The equilibrium properties such as lattice constants, bulk moduli and magnetic moments are well reproduced by the…
Ce-doped SiO x N y films are deposited by magnetron reactive sputtering from a CeO 2 target under nitrogen reactive gas atmosphere. Visible photoluminescence measurements regarding the nitrogen gas flow reveal a large emission band centered…
Ceria (CeO$_2$) is a material of significant technological importance. A detailed understanding of the material's defect physics and chemistry is key to understanding and optimizing its properties. Here, we report a hybrid…
Ceria has proven to be an excellent ion-transport and ion-exchange material when used in polycrystalline form and with a high-concentration of aliovalent doped cations. Despite its widespread application, the impact of atomic-scale defects…
Ultrathin cerium oxide films have been deposited on chlorine, gallium, and silver passivated Si(111) by reactive molecular beam epitaxy in a comparative study. The crystallinity of these films has been characterized by x-ray standing waves…
The role of slight changes of the chemical composition on antiferromagnetic ordering of Cr in rare-earth orthochoromites was investigated on a series of ceramic solid-solutions Ce$_{1-x}$Eu${_x}$O$_3$ where x varied from 0 to 1. Gradual…
Multilayered heterostructures of Ce0.85Sm0.15O2-delta and Y0.16Zr0.92O2-delta of a high crystallographic quality were fabricated on (001) - oriented MgO single crystal substrates. Keeping the total thickness of the heterostructures…
In this work, we study the influence of the average crystallite size and dopant oxide on the reducibility of CeO2-based nanomaterials. Samples were prepared from commercial Gd2O3-, Sm2O3- and Y2O3-doped CeO2 powders by calcination at…
