Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:93.64(Physics, Condensed Matter)We investigated the electronic structure of BaFeO by using HAXPES and XAS measurements and first principle studies. The experimental and theoretical results indicated that BaFeO
is a negative charge transfer compound. We concluded that the on-site Coulomb energy and the strong hybridization between Fe-3d and O-2p orbitals play a very important role of emergence of negative charge transfer. And we found the new structure in the Fe-2p XPS spectrum and concluded this structure is originated from non-local screening.

Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:61.75(Physics, Applied)We have investigated the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of a perovskite oxide, BaFeO, that shows ferromagnetism by the aid of a small external field of about 0.3 T below the Curie temperature T
= 111 K. The magnetization is found to change almost reversibly in both field and temperature cycles. Hence, magnetic and thermal hysteretic losses are negligibly low during refrigeration, a property that is suitable for application. The reversible MCE is likely to arise from the absence of an orbital magnetic moment of Fe ions which are essentially in the Fe
L state (L: ligand hole). The magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity near the T
are about 5.8 J kg
K
and about 172 J kg
, respectively, both of which are comparable to those of ferromagnetic perovskite manganites. As BaFeO
contains no rare metals and is stable against corrosion, the material can be regarded as a candidate refrigerant material.

CuO
Cl
crystal. The so-called checkerboard local-density-of-state modulation manifests in the spectroscopic map of the optimally-doped sample. In addition, spatially-inhomogeneous energy gap is observed. The gap tends to be buried at elevated temperatures and correlates with the checkerboard modulation. These results suggest that the gap is related to superconductivity which coexists with the checkerboard modulation.

Times Cited Count:92 Percentile:90.15(Chemistry, Physical)A new experimental technique was developed for detecting structure changes at electrode/electrolyte interface of lithium cell using X-ray reflectometry and two-dimensional model electrodes with a restricted lattice-plane. The electrodes were constructed with an epitaxial film of LiCoO synthesized by pulsed laser deposition method. The anisotropic properties were confirmed by electrochemical measurements.
X-ray reflectivity measurements indicated that the impurity layer existed on the as-grown LiCoO

X-ray reflectivity measurements indicated that the surface roughness of the intercalation (1 1 0) plane increased with applying voltages, while no significant changes in surface morphology were observed for the intercalation non-active (0 0 3) plane during the pristine stage of the charge-discharge process.

The SAED and CBED data showed that BiMnO
crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c at 300 K. The analysis of Mn-O bond lengths suggested that the orbital order present in BiMnO
at 300 K melts above T= 474 K. The phase transition at 474 K is of the first order and accompanied by a jump of magnetization and small changes of the effective magnetic moment and Weiss temperature.

(space groupP4mm; Z=1; a=3.72937(7)

at room temperature; tetragonality c/a=1.267) is isotypic with BaTiO

in the whole temperature range. BiCoO
is an insulator with a Neeltemperature of 470 K. A possible model for antiferromagnetic order is proposed with a propagationvector of k=(1/2, 1/2, 0). In this model, magnetic moments of Co
ions are parallel to the c directionand align antiferromagnetically in the ab plane. The antiferromagnetic ab layers stack ferromagneticallyalong the c axis, forming a C-type antiferromagnetic structure. Refined magnetic moments at 5 and 300K are 3.24(2)

states under the magenetic field of 2 T are found to show different

The experimental results show a characteristic energy dispersion of the near inhibited reflection at 150, implying Fe atoms split into two distinct states. The energy dispersion is in good agreement with the calculated spectrum based on LDA+U scheme. The calculation reveals an electronic configuration of the Fe 3d orbital follows a localization in the oxygen orbital surrounds one of the distinct Fe atoms.
