Compton scattering study of strong orbital delocalization in a LiNiO cathode

Veenavee Nipunika Kothalawala, Kosuke Suzuki, Johannes Nokelainen +17

Cobalt is used in Li-ion batteries, but it is expensive and could be replaced by nickel to deliver better performance at a lower cost. With this motivation, we discuss how the char…

Quantum Monte Carlo study of Doppler broadening of positron annihilation radiation in semiconductors and insulators

Kristoffer Simula, Jan Härkönen, Iuliia Zhelezova +3

Positron annihilation in solid state matter can be utilized to detect and identify open-volume defects. The momentum distribution of the annihilation radiation is an important obse…

Identifying vacancy complexes in compound semiconductors with positron annihilation spectroscopy: a case study of InN

Christian Rauch, Ilja Makkonen, Filip Tuomisto

We present a comprehensive study of vacancy and vacancy-impurity complexes in InN combining positron annihilation spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. Positron densities and an…
