Defect Equilibration Studies in Binary Metal-Oxides
Abstract
The project goals include creation of extreme environments such as oxygen concentration gradients; exposure to strong optical and electric fields to synthesize and modulate physical properties of oxide materials focusing on defect equilibration. Using model systems such as VO2, NiO that show collective response to structural and defect density changes, we can both study the microstructural aspects from a fundamental point of view, charge compensation mechanisms including use of X-ray spectroscopy and further explore the use of metastable phases in emerging fields. In this final report, we discuss representative studies on VO2 and NiO thin films that undergoes a structural and electronic phase changes under strong fields.
