Controlling Octahedral Rotations in a Perovskite via Strain Doping
The perovskite unit cell is the fundamental building block of many functional materials. The manipulation of this crystal structure is known to be of central importance to controlling many technologically promising phenomena related to superconductivity, multiferroicity, mangetoresistivity, and photovoltaics. The broad range of properties that this structure can exhibit is in part due to the ce...
متن کاملLocal octahedral rotations and octahedral connectivity in epitaxially strained LaNiO3/LaGaO3 superlattices
For ABO3 perovskites, octahedral rotations and distortions couple strongly to the functional properties. However, in short period perovskite superlattices, the characterization of the octahedral behavior remains challenging due to the local structural variations of the BO6 octahedra. By aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, we investigated the local octahedral r...
متن کاملElectrically driven octahedral rotations in SrTiO3 and PbTiO3
We investigate the oxygen octahedral rotations that occur in two perovskites, SrTiO3 and PbTiO3, as a function of applied three-dimensional electric displacement field, allowing us to map out the phase diagram of rotations in both the paraelectric and ferroelectric regions of the polar response. First-principles calculations at fixed electric displacement field are used to extract parameters of...
متن کاملPolar Expansion Dynamics in the Plant Kingdom: A Diverse and Multifunctional Journey on the Path to Pollen Tubes.
Polar expansion is a widespread phenomenon in plants spanning all taxonomic groups from the Charophycean Green Algae to pollen tubes in Angiosperms and Gymnosperms. Current data strongly suggests that many common features are shared amongst cells displaying polar growth mechanics including changes to the structural features of localized regions of the cell wall, mobilization of targeted secreti...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Nanofibers and Nanostructures for New Generation Multifunctional Materials
The recent interest in nanotechnology has triggered research on nanofibers and nanostructures. Here we present our work on fiber-based multifunctional materials including nanofibers obtained via electrospinning processes. Such nanofibers are of potential value given the highly porous structures they form and their large surface area-to-volume ratio which is often required in high performance ap...
