  • Structure-property relationships of YbFe₂O₄-type layered transition metal oxides

    Creator:
    Grajczyk, Rosa
    Abstract:
    The structure–property relationships of solid solutions within the YbFe₂O₄ family of compounds have been studied in relation to their optical, dielectric and magnetic properties. This family of compounds is of recent interest because of the trigonal bipyramid coordination that is rarely observed in transition metal oxides. The systematic study of...

  • Cation Substitution Effects in Complex Transition Metal Oxides

    Creator:
    Duell, Brett A.
    Abstract:
    Understanding structural evolution in solids as composition changes is essential to materials properties prediction. Such structure-properties relationships are the theme of solid state chemistry. Materials scientists and chemists have utilized an abundance of simple crystal structures to enhance understanding of chemical and structural origins of properties in materials for decades....

  • Structure-property Relationships of Transition Metal Oxides Containing Precious Metals

    Creator:
    Hapuraja Pathirannehelage, Vidhara H. P.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a study of structure-property relationships within 3d/4d metal oxides containing precious metals through detailed structure refinements using high-resolution neutron and X-ray diffraction data along with exploration of the resultant properties. Oxides of 4d or 5d transition metals tend to show new topological phases due to significant spin-orbit...

  • Investigation of the structural influence on the properties of functional inorganic oxides

    Creator:
    Laurita-Plankis, Geneva
    Abstract:
    While properties are extremely important from an application point of view, it is crucial to have a detailed understanding of the underlying structural influence. Once a concrete correlation between the structure and the observed property is established, rational design of novel materials with optimized properties can be realized. These optimized...

  • Novel nanocomposite synthesis for high-performance thermoelectrics

    Creator:
    Eilertsen, James S.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric materials are playing a larger role in the global effort to develop diverse, efficient, and sustainable energy technologies: primarily through power-generating thermoelectric modules. The principal components of thermoelectric modules are solid-state thermoelectric materials – typically heavily doped semiconductors – that convert heat directly into electricity. However, this conversion efficiency...

  • Exploratory Studies Within the Exotic Lyonsite Structure

    Creator:
    Tang, Joseph N.
    Abstract:
    Structure-property relationships have always underpinned the field of solid state chemistry; dependable structural descriptions are integral to understanding and controlling the physical properties of inorganic compounds old and new. While a handful of crystal structures are celebrated for their versatility, flexibility, and functionality, the existence of more exotic structures is...

  • Structure-property relationships in oxides containing tellurium

    Creator:
    Siritanon, Theeranun
    Abstract:
    Oxides of post-transition metals often show unique structures and properties due to the presence of lone pair electrons and the diffused s orbitals. The present work focuses on synthesis and characterizations of oxides containing Te, a heavy post transition metal. New series of pyrochlore oxides of the formula Cs(M,Te)₂O₆ (M...

    Creator:
    Flynn, Joshua
    Abstract:
    Due to the high cost of precursor materials, complex oxides of 4d and 5d transition metals are under-studied compared to their 3d counterparts. Recent studies have shown that oxides containing heavier transition metals can exhibit exotic electronic states due to presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. The goal of this dissertation...
