Epitaxial growth and properties of thin film oxides

Surface properties of LiCoO2, LiNiO2 and LiNi1−xCoxO2

“…[53], [54], [55] and [56]), and slightly lower than that for CoO (529.4-529.6 eV; refs. [53], [55], [56], [57] and [58]). Furthermore, doping cobalt oxide powders with lithium for up to 50% of the total metal concentration does not appear to change the O 1s binding energy signifi cantly [54].…”

“…Their O 1s binding energies are found approximately 1 eV below that of NiO (529.4-529.6 eV; refs. [58], [59], [60] and [61]) and other binary transition metal oxides [52].…”

Self-organized chromium oxide monolayers on Fe(001)

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In particular, the structural characterization of oxide structures is of crucial importance in order to get insight into the chemical and physical processes occuring in a variety of modern technological devices based on ultrathin oxide films, such as solid-state electronic devices, high-storage-density media, and metal oxide catalysts. In this respect scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and theoretical modeling through density functional theory (DFT) calculations have proven to be a powerful combination to disentangle the atomic structure of well-defined oxide surfaces supported by metals.…”

Ordering of TiO2-Based Nanostructures on SrTiO3(001) Surfaces

“…Knowing which kinds of surface structures form, and having the ability to control them, are therefore crucial for enhancing current technologies and enabling new ones. Strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ) is an archetypical example of a perovskite structured oxide with elaborate (001) surface structures that have been studied extensively. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Interest in SrTiO 3 stems from its applications as a substrate for high-T c superconductors, 20 in photocatalysis, 21 in ferroelectrics, 22 and as a buffer material for micro/nanoelectronic systems.…”
