Transition metal transport

Transition-Metal Storage, Transport, and Biomineralization

Charge transport mediated by d-orbitals in transition metal complexes.

This communication reports an asymmetric charge transport with a large rectification ratio and finely featured NDR (negative differential resistance) by d-orbitals of a neutral ruthenium(ii) complex with a C(2) axis of symmetry.

Vapor Transport Crystal Growth of the Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Compounds

Techniques are described for growing single crystals ofthe transition metal dichalcogenide compounds Nb1 — ~Ta~Se2(0 ~ x ~ 0.20). Both iodine and selenium vapor transport have been used. A portion of the phase diagram has been determined, in order to produce the desired 2H polymorpoh for all compositions of interest. Measurement of the superconducting transition temperature is shown to be a use...

Hot electron transport in a strongly correlated transition-metal oxide

Oxide heterointerfaces are ideal for investigating strong correlation effects to electron transport, relevant for oxide-electronics. Using hot-electrons, we probe electron transport perpendicular to the La₀.₇Sr₀.₃MnO₃ (LSMO)- Nb-doped SrTiO₃ (Nb:STO) interface and find the characteristic hot-electron attenuation length in LSMO to be 1.48 ± 0.10 unit cells (u.c.) at -1.9 V, increasing to 2.02 ± ...

Metal Hydrides: Transition Metal Hydride Complexes

Solid-state metal hydrides provide a safe and efficient way of storing hydrogen (Schlapbach 2002). They are commercialized for use in rechargeable batteries and developed for energy conversion devices such as fuel cells (see Hydrogen Metal Systems: Electrochemical Reactions). A great majority of metal hydrides derives from intermetallic compounds and alloys (see Hydrogen Metal Systems: Hydride ...
