Enhanced perovskite electronic properties via A-site cation engineering

EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE STRUCTURAL, MAGNETIC AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF THE BA2GDSBO6 PEROVSKITE

In this work the procedure to the synthesis of Ba2GdSbO6 complex perovskite by the solid-state reaction method is reported. Theoretically a study of the crystalline and electronic structure was performed into the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The most stable structure is obtained to be a rhombohedral perovskite with a lattice constant a=6,0840 Å.  Due the occurren...

An Iridatropylium Cation: Investigation of Electronic Structure

A study of the [C6 H6 Ir(PH3 )3 ]+ iridatropylium cation structure based on frontier orbital analysis, thermodynamic analysis, and natural bond orbital (NBO) theory is the main aim of the present research. Also, HOMO, LUMO energies, hardness, electrophilicity and chemical potential were calculated. Structural analysis indicated the optimized geometry shows a good agreement with the experimental...

Interlayer Cation Exchange Stabilizes Polar Perovskite Surfaces

Global optimization is used to study the structure of the polar KTaO3 (001) surface. It is found that cation exchange near the surface leads to the most stable structure. This mechanism is likely to be general to metal oxides containing cations of differing charge.
