Atomic resolution mapping of localized phonon modes at grain boundaries
Benedikt Haas, Tara M. Boland, Christian Elsässer +5
Phonon scattering at grain boundaries (GBs) is significant in controlling nanoscale device thermal conductivity. However, GBs could also act as waveguides for selected modes. To me…
Atomic Level Strain Induced by Static and Dynamic Oxygen Vacancies on Reducible Oxide Surfaces
Piyush Haluai, Tara M. Boland, Ethan L. Lawrence +1
Surface strain often controls properties of the material including charge transport and chemical reactivity. Localized surface strain is measured with atomic resolution on (111) ce…
Computational Synthesis of 2D Materials: A High-throughput Approach to Materials Design
Tara M. Boland, Arunima K. Singh
2D materials find promising applications in next-generation devices, however, large-scale, low-defect, and reproducible synthesis of 2D materials remains a challenging task. To ass…
Localized Phonon Densities of States at Grain Boundaries in Silicon
Peter Rez, Tara Boland, Christian Elsässer +1
Since it is now possible to record vibrational spectra at nanometer scales in the electron microscope it is of interest to explore whether defects such as dislocations or grain bou…
Impact of Aliovalent Alkaline-Earth Metal Solutes on Ceria Grain Boundaries: A Density Functional Theory Study
Tara M. Boland, Peter Rez, Peter A. Crozier +1
Ceria has proven to be an excellent ion-transport and ion-exchange material when used in polycrystalline form and with a high-concentration of aliovalent doped cations. Despite its…
