Energetics, Bonding Mechanism and Electronic Structure of Metal/Ceramic Interfaces
EMSL Project ID
9096
Abstract
Our project continues to focus on the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of metal/ceramic interfaces. The energetics, bonding mechanism and electronic structure are accurately obtained using highly precise all-electron local density total energy calculations for both metal and ceramic materials. Several major projects are being addressed for which this proposal requests renewed support for what is a successful program dealing with some fundamental issues in complex oxides relating to the origin of a number of their observed unusual and diverse phenomena, such as (i) light-induced insulator-conductor conversion in transparent insulating oxides, and (ii) colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in manganite perovskites and the interplay among spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom in the strongly correlated electron systems.
