First-Principles Calculations of La(1-x)Sr(x)Fe(1-y)Co(y)O3 Solids and Surfaces (Summer Research Institute, PNNL Scope #16248)


EMSL Project ID
18412

Abstract

The electronic structure of La(1-x)Sr(x)Fe(1-y)Co(y)O3 in the bulk and at the surface will be determined using density functional theory calculations in combination with thermodynamic calculations. The energy associated with oxygen adsorption and oxygen interstitials, in addition to activation energies for oxygen diffusion, will be of particular emphasis.
