Abstract:It is well known that, on reduction, TiO forms extended planar defects, known as Crystallographi~ Shear (CS) Planes, ~~at accommodate the non-stoichiometrv. Further, these CS Planes interact over large distances (~lOOA or more) to form regular, or nearly regular arrays in an otherwise perfect crystal. It has been shown, by theoretical computer based atomistic :simulation studies that extensive structural relaxation :around the CS Plane is responsible for its stability ,over point defect formation, even in comp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
