Atomic structure and electronic properties of MgO grain boundaries in tunnelling magnetoresistive devices
Polycrystalline metal oxides find diverse applications in areas such as nanoelectronics, photovoltaics and catalysis. Although grain boundary defects are ubiquitous their structure and electronic properties are very poorly understood since it is extremely challenging to probe the structure of buried interfaces directly. In this paper we combine novel plan-view high-resolution transmission elect...
متن کاملAtomic Structure of Grain Boundaries and Intergranular Segregation
— Some Important aspects of the atomic structure of grain boundaries in pure metals, in particular the structural model of general grain boundaries and the multiplicity of structures, are discussed first. An empirical scheme for the desciption of atomic interactions in alloys is then outlined. General, structure independent, properties of segregation are examined in the framework of this scheme...
متن کاملDiffraction Studies of the Atomic Structure of Grain Boundaries
The recent results of the application of diffraction techniques to study the atomic structure of grain boundaries are reviewed. The outcome of the first determination of a grain boundary structure using diffraction information alone is examined. The influence of a particular metal on the grain boundary structure is examined. The variation of grain boundary structural width with parameters such ...
متن کاملTheoretical Studies of the Atomic and Electronic Structures of Grain Boundaries in Silicon and Silicon-carbide
The atomic and electronic structures of a facetted twin boundary in Si and a twin boundary in 6-Sic have been studied theoretically for the first time. The atomic structure of the {211}/{111} facets in Si based on the model by Bourret and Bacmann has been optimised by the Keating model, and the electronic structure has been calculated using a supercell technique and a tight-binding model. It ha...
متن کاملElectronic properties of grain boundaries in semiconductors
2014 The aim of this communication is to describe the main results which we have obtained in the past years on the electronic properties of grain boundaries in semiconductors. The study, experimental as well as theoretical, has focused on the main electronic characteristics i.e. density of states, optical cross sections, carrier capture cross sections (and recombination velocity) from which all...
