Defect chemistry of Eu dopants in NaI scintillators studied by atomically resolved force microscopy
Manuel Ulreich, Lynn A. Boatner, Igor Sokolovic +6
Activator impurities and their distribution in the host lattice play a key role in scintillation phenomena. Here a combination of cross-sectional noncontact atomic force microscopy…
Incipient ferroelectricity: A route towards bulk-terminated SrTiO3
Igor Sokolovic, Michael Schmid, Ulrike Diebold +1
Perovskite oxides attract increasing attention due to their broad potential in many applications. Understanding their surfaces is challenging, though, because the ternary compositi…
Interplay between adsorbates and polarons: CO on rutile TiO(110)
Michele Reticcioli, Igor Sokolović, Michael Schmid +3
Polaron formation plays a major role in determining the structural, electrical and chemical properties of ionic crystals. Using a combination of first principles calculations and s…
Formation and dynamics of small polarons on the rutile TiO(110) surface
Michele Reticcioli, Martin Setvin, Michael Schmid +2
Charge trapping and formation of polarons is a pervasive phenomenon in transition metal oxide compounds, in particular at the surface, affecting fundamental physical properties and…
Charge Trapping at the Step Edges of TiO2 Anatase (101)
Martin Setvin, Xianfeng Hao, Benjamin Daniel +7
A combination of Photoemission, Atomic Force and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy measurements shows that excess electrons in TiO2 anatase (101) surface are trapped at st…
Reaction of O2 with Subsurface Oxygen Vacancies on TiO2 Anatase (101)
Martin Setvin, Ulrich Aschauer, Philipp Scheiber +5
Oxygen (O2) adsorbed on metal oxides is important in catalytic oxidation reactions, chemical sensing, and photocatalysis. Strong adsorption requires transfer of negative charge fro…
