Oxygen vacancy-induced strengthening and toughening in (K,Na)NbO3-based piezoceramics revealed via nanoindentation [PDF]

Nature Communications
Dislocations are emerging as a pivotal factor for tailoring ceramics’ functional and mechanical properties. The introduction of point defects, notably oxygen vacancies, is unavoidable during the conventional sintering process in polycrystalline ceramics.

Sr Doping and Oxygen Vacancy Formation in La_1−xSr_xScO_3−δ Solid Solutions: Computational Modelling

Crystals, 2022
Sr-doped lanthanum scandate La1−xSrxScO3−δ (LSS) is a promising perovskite-type material for electrochemical applications such as proton conductors. Oxygen vacancy is a common defect in ABO3-type perovskites.

First-principles study on non-radiative carrier captures of point defects associated with proton generation in silica

AIP Advances, 2021
The non-radiative carrier captures of point defects associated with proton generation in both crystalline (α-quartz) and amorphous silica (a-SiO2) have been investigated by using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. Major

Oxygen Vacancy Injection on (111) CeO₂ Nanocrystal Facets for Efficient H₂O₂ Detection

Biosensors, 2022
Facet and defect engineering have achieved great success in improving the catalytic performance of CeO2, but the inconsistent reports on the synergistic effect of facet and oxygen vacancy and the lack of investigation on the heavily doped oxygen vacancy ...

Electric field-induced oxygen vacancies in YBa2Cu3O7 [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021
The microscopic doping mechanism behind the superconductor-to-insulator transition of a thin film of YBa2Cu3O7 was recently identified as due to the migration of O atoms from the CuO chains of the film. Here, we employ density-functional theory calculations to study the evolution of the electronic structure of a slab of YBa2Cu3O7 in the presence of ...

Oxygen Vacancies in Perovskite Oxide Piezoelectrics [PDF]

Materials, 2020
The excellent electro-mechanical properties of perovskite oxide ferroelectrics make these materials major piezoelectrics. Oxygen vacancies are believed to easily form, migrate, and strongly affect ferroelectric behavior and, consequently, the piezoelectric performance of these materials and devices based thereon.
