Strain-Induced ZnO Spinterfaces

Strain‐Engineered Modulation on the Electronic Properties of Phosphorous‐Doped ZnO

“…This phenomenon was observed in an experimental study 36. 42 Meanwhile, when tensile strain is applied to the system, these oxygen atoms can be dragged away in opposite directions more easily due to the much weaker attractive force between them. In other words, a V Zn in the ZnO lattice releases the intrinsic tensile stress effectively, which leads to a lowering in the formation energy of V Zn .…”

“…Kan et al reported that the presence of compressive strain substantially lowers the formation energy of Zn vacancies (V Zn ) in ZnO 36. 42 By means of cathodoluminescence, Wei et al observed an increase in intrinsic defects under tensile stress 43–45. The experimental results also show that strain indeed improves the solid solubility of Sb in ZnO,46 which belongs to the group V elements, just like P. Furthermore, since defects influence the electronic structure of the crystal, new electronic and transport properties can be expected under stress.…”

Olefin Metathesis at the Dawn of Implementation in Pharmaceutical and Specialty‐Chemicals Manufacturing

“…Chemie the unsaturated NBR, prior to hydrogenation. [49] Such ap rocess is illustrated with 1-hexene in Scheme 2. Reduced viscosity improves blending with additives:i ta lso enables faster throughput in injection molding.…”

“…Recent patent applications disclose that phosphine-free catalysts,s uch as M51, offer access to lower molecular-weight nitrile rubbers than those attainable using GII. [49] 3.2. Specialty Chemicals from Renewable Feedstocks…”

Emergent ferromagnetism in ZnO/Al2O3 core-shell nanowires: Towards oxide spinterfaces

“…23 Similarly, spontaneous magnetization and hysteresis were observed in ZnO nanowires (NWs) modified with thiol-capped Ag nanoclusters 30 and in ZnO/ZnS core-shell nanoparticles. 31 Moreover, such a kind of "spinterfaces" was discovered at the interface of strained ZnO films grown on quartz substrates, 32 where the structural strain was suggested to play an important role. It is also worth mentioning that, as a route to molecular spintronics, spinterfaces with a high degree of spin polarization were also investigated in the context of organic/metallic layers.…”
