Enhancement of Seebeck coefficient for SrO„SrTiO3...2 by Sm substitution: Crystal symmetry restoration of distorted TiO6 octahedra
نویسندگان
چکیده
We found that Sm3+ substitution in SrO SrTiO3 2 is effective in improving the Seebeck coefficient S . The S value increases notably with temperature, benefiting from an enhancement of the density of states DOS effective mass md * from 3m0 300 K to 7.5m

THE CRYSTAL CHEMISTRY OF SILICATE MINERALS WITH CHAINS OF (TiO6) OCTAHEDRA
Chains of (TiO6) octahedra occur in several crystal structures as fundamental building blocks, confirming the tendency of self-polymerization for (TiO6) octahedra. There are two topologically distinct types of chains based on linkage of (TiO6) octahedra, corner-sharing chains and edge-sharing chains. In this paper, we focus on the diversity of linkages between chains of (TiO6) octahedra and (Si...
متن کاملLattice relaxation in oxide heterostructures: LaTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices.
Local density approximation + Hubbard U and many-body effective Hamiltonian calculations are used to determine the effects of lattice relaxation in LaTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices. Large ferroelectric-like distortions of the TiO6 octahedra are found, which substantially affect the Ti d-electron density, bringing the calculated results into good agreement with experimental data. The relaxations also...

The crystal structure of members of the pyrophanite–ecandrewsite solid-solution series, Mn1–xZnxTiO3 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.8 apfu), synthesized by ceramic methods in air at ambient pressure, has been characterized by Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray-diffraction patterns. All of these compounds crystallize with the ilmenite structure and adopt space group R3̄. The maximum solubility of Zn in MnTiO3 is co...
متن کاملInterfacial enhancement of ferroelectricity in CaTiO3/BaTiO3 superlattices
We carry out first-principles calculations for CaTiO3/BaTiO3superlattices with epitaxial strain corresponding to growth on a SrTiO3 substrate, and consider octahedral rotations as well as ferroelectric distortions. The calculations are done as a function of electric displacement field, and both a macroscopic and a local electrostatic analysis are carried out. We find that strong octahedral rota...
