Kazunon Takada, Narumi Ohta, Lianqi Zhang, Katsutoshi Fukuda, Isao Sakaguchi, Renzhi Ma, Minoru Osada, Takayoshi Sasaki

SOLID STATE IONICS Vol. 179 ( 27-32 ) page： 1333 - 1337 2008.9

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

Interfaces between LiCoO2 and sulfide solid electrolytes were modified in order to enhance the high-rate capability of solid-state lithium batteries. Thin films of oxide solid electrolytes, Li4Ti5O12, LiNbO3, and LiTaO3, were interposed at the interfaces as buffer layers. Changes in the high-rate performance upon heat treatment revealed that the buffer layer should be formed at low temperature to avoid thermal diffusion of the elements. Buffer layers of LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 can be formed at low temperature for the interfacial modification, because they show high ionic conduction in their amorphous states, and so are more effective than Li4Ti5O12 for high-power densities.

We investigated the local electronic structures of a molecularly thin ferromagnetic Ti(0.8)Co(0.2)O(2) nanosheet by means of x-ray nanospectroscopy with spectroscopic photoemission and low energy electron microscopy. By analyzing the Co 2p x-ray absorption and photoemission spectra, the chemical state of doped Co ions in individual Ti(0.8)Co(0.2)O(2) nanosheet was found to be Co(2+) low-spin state, which is consistent with previous magnetization data and first-principles calculation [M. Osada , Phys. Rev. B 73, 153301 (2006)]. Furthermore, we employed photoelectron emission microscopy to image the variation in chemical states in Ti(0.8)Co(0.2)O(2) nanosheets with different stacking structures and clarified the identical Co(2+) low-spin state in monolayer and overlapped cases.

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition was employed to fabricate high-kappa dielectric nanofilms of titania nanosheets. The LB-based layer-by-layer approach using an atomically flat SrRuO(3) substrate is effective for the fabrication of atomically uniform and highly dense nanofilms. These films exhibited both high dielectric constant (kappa similar to 123) and low leakage current density (J < 10(-7) A cm(-2)) for thicknesses down to 5 nm, while eliminating the size-effect problems encountered in current high-kappa From analyses of interfacial structures by transmission electron microscopy and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. we have clarified that the films are composed of a well-ordered lamellar structure without an interfacial dead layer. According to first-principles calculations, a highly polarizable nature of titania nanosheets can bring improved dielectric properties. yielding high-kappa values even in an ultrathin geometry.

APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS Vol. 92 ( 25 ) 2008.6

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：AMER INST PHYSICS

Magneto-optical Faraday effect has been investigated for 3d-transition-metal-substituted titania nanosheets Ti(1-x)M(x)O(2) (M=Fe,Co). In Ti(0.8)Co(0.2)O(2) and Ti(0.6)Fe(0.4)O(2) nanosheets, a strong magneto-optical response (similar to 10(4) deg/cm) appeared near the absorption edge at 260 nm. We find that tailoring magneto-optical properties could be achieved by (Fe/Co) cosubstitution and an optimally doped Ti(0.75)Fe(0.1)Co(0.15)O(2) nanosheet exhibits a gigantic magneto-optical response (similar to 10(5) deg/cm) over the wide wavelength region (400-750 nm). By analyzing electronic structures from first-principle calculations, we have clarified that the d-d transitions are responsible for the gigantic signal in (Fe/Co)-cosubstituted nanosheets.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

Novel electrode materials with nominal compositions of (1 - x)LiVO2 center dot xLi(2)TiO(3) (0 <= x <= 0.6) were synthesized by carbothermal reduction reaction. All the materials were identified to have a layered structure and can be considered as a solid solution related to LiVO2-Li2TiO3 system, in which Li layers was alternately stacked with the layers made of mixture of Li, V, and Ti in a ccp array of oxygen. The redox reaction associated with vanadium ions was not reversible in LiVO2; however, introduction of the redox couple into Li2TiO3 made it much more reversible. A reversible capacity of about 120 mAh g(-1) remained after 90 cycles for the samples with x = 0.5 and 0.6, when they were cycled in the voltage range of 1.0-4.8 V.

It was found that Na+ ions in NaxCoO2 can be partially substituted by H3O+ ions while maintaining a constant Co valence simply by immersion in water. The Magnetic Susceptibility of Na-x(H3O)(z)CoO2 (X + z = 0.70) changed drastically from Curie-Weiss type to Pauli paramagnetic type, indicating that the electronic band structure was modified by the isovalent ion substitution of Na+/H3O+. Two possible origins of the change in the electronic structure are discussed.

We have demonstrated a novel procedure for fabricating high-kappa dielectric nanofilms by using a titania nanosheet as a building block. The layer-by-layer assembly of titania nanosheets using an atomically flat SrRuO3 substrate is advantageous as a means of fabricating atomically uniform multilayer high-kappa nanofilms. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that these multilayer nanofilms are composed of a well-ordered lamellar structure without an interfacial dead layer. These nanofilms exhibited both high dielectric constant (epsilon(r)similar to 125) and low leakage current density (J < 10(-7) A/cm(2)) even for thicknesses as low as 10nm. These results indicate that the titania nanosheet is a very promising candidate as a high-kappa nanoblock, and its bottom-up fabrication provides new opportunities for the development of high-kappa devices.

The further enhancement of high-rate capabilities for all solid-state lithium secondary batteries is reported. A LiNbO3 layer of nanometer thickness was interposed between LiCoO2 and sulfide solid electrolyte as buffer layer. This greatly reduced the interfacial resistance in the cathode and enhanced the high-rate capabilities of solid-state lithium batteries, providing good prospects for practical application of lithium secondary batteries free from safety issues.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH

The construction of an electronic-conductor/ionic-conductor heterojunction in a well-defined nanostructure is the basis of studying interfacial and bulk transport and the reactions of ions and electrons at the nanoscale level. An ionic-conductor/metal (AgI/Ag) beterostructured nanowire array is easily fabricated by a template-confined, step-electrochemical technique. The structural and morphological evolution of the AgI/Ag heterostructure before and after its release from the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and optical spectroscopy. The structural disordering of released AgI is suggested by the appearance of a broad photoluminescence emission band at longer wavelengths and a short-range-order-like Raman peak. The ionic conductivity of the AgI nanowire embedded inside the insulating AAO membrane is measured as being on the order of 10(-3) S cm(-1), which is an enhancement by two to three orders of magnitude compared with that of bulk polycrystalline AgI at room temperature. This electrochemical method could be useful in fabricating other pure and mixed ionic conductors in heterojunction nanostructures.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE

We synthesized a new cobalt oxide (CaOH)(1.14)CoO2 by utilizing a high-pressure technique. X-ray and electron diffraction studies revealed that the compound has a layered structure that consists of Cdl(2)-type CoO2 layers and rock-salt-type double CaOH atomic layers. The two subcells have incommensurate periodicity along the a-axis, resulting in a misfit-layered structure. From resistivity and Seebeck coefficient measurements, we have shown that the two-dimensional (2-D) variable-range hopping (VRH) regime with hole conduction is dominant at low temperature for this compound. As temperature increases, the conduction mechanism undergoes crossover from the 2-D VRH regime to a thermal activation-energy-type regime. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Impacts of intrinsic defects on luminescence properties of CuAlS2 Reviewed

Yuichiro Kuroki, Tomoichiro Okamoto, Masasuke Takata, Minoru Osada

APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS Vol. 89 ( 22 ) 2006.11

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：AMER INST PHYSICS

The authors report on Raman scattering of CuAlS2 in order to study the influences of intrinsic defects on luminescence properties. The A(1) mode is dominated in stoichiometric samples, whereas sulfur-poor conditions prepared at high temperatures (>= 800 degrees C) cause defect-specific shift and broadening. They also find that additional mode (at 330 cm(-1)) caused by antisite defects is resonated at 2.16 eV excitation, in accordance with visible luminescence attributed to donor-acceptor pair (DAP) emission in photoluminescence. These results suggest that the DAP emissions may be caused by the defect complexes such as Al-Cu-V-Cu and V-S-V-Cu, which reduces ultraviolet excitonic emission in this system.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC

The charge dynamics of the spin ladder compound Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 with x=0,6,13.6 has been investigated using wavelength- and temperature-dependent phonon Raman scattering on single crystals. In the unsubstituted, x=0, compound, a set of sharp two-phonon lines shows a strong increase in intensity below T similar to 200 K for light polarized along the ladder layer and with excitation energy close to the charge transfer gap similar to 1.9 eV. The temperature dependence of the strongly enhanced two-phonon bands below 200 K closely follows the recently reported formation of a standing charge density wave in the ladders [P. Abbamonte , Nature 431, 1078 (2004)]. Upon calcium substitution the polarized resonant Raman response rapidly decreases, signaling an increase of hole mobility in the ladder units. Temperature-dependent measurements of the x=13.6 sample indicate mobility of holes down to < 8 K.

New Li+ ion-conductive glasses Li2S-B2S3-Li4SiO4 were synthesized by rapid quenching, and they were transformed into glass ceramics by heat treatment. The heat treatment increased the ionic conductivities of the Li4SO4-doped glasses, and the highest ionic conductivity observed in the system was 1.0 x 10(-3) S cm(-1) at room temperature. The glass ceramics were highly stable against electrochemical oxidation with a wide electrochemical window of 10 V. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：INST PURE APPLIED PHYSICS

The effect of site selectivity on the ferroelectric polarization property was investigated in Dy-substituted Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O-3 films prepared on (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/(100)Si substrates by a chemical solution method. Dy ions were introduced, assuming Pb or Zr and Ti site substitutions in Pb(Zr0.40Ti0.60)O-3 with x ranging from 0 to 0.06. Site occupation was determined by Raman spectroscopy. Dy ions selectively replaced the assumed sites at a low x value; however, these ions interdiffused to opposite sites at a high x value. Remnant polarization was enhanced when Dy ions selectivity substituted the Zr and Ti sites at a low x value, while it was contrarily degraded by Ph site substitution. These results provide useful guidelines for ferroelectric property improvement by ion substitution in Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O-3.

The high-rate capability of solid-state, rechargeable lithium batteries with sulfide electrolytes is significantly improved when the LiCoO(2) particles are spray-coated with a Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) film with a thickness of several nanometers (see figure). The power densities of the solid-state battery with the coated LiCoO(2) are comparable to those of commercialized lithium-ion cells.

Investigation of domain distribution in patterned PZT thin films using Raman spectroscopy Reviewed

Ken Nishida, Minoru Osada, Shintaro Yokoyama, Kenji Takahashi, Hiroshi Funakubo, Takashi Katoda

Transactions of the Materials Research Society of Japan, Vol 31, No 1 Vol. 31 ( 1 ) page： 27 - 30 2006

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings) Publisher：ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

Domain distribution, crystallinity and ferroelectric properties of micro-patterned PZT thin films were characterized with polarized Raman spectroscopy. The patterned PZT film grown on the Pt bottom electrode had good crystallinity independent of the pattern size. On the other hand, the PZT film grown outside the Pt bottom electrode had poor crystallinity or almost amorphous. The c-domain volume was estimated to be 55% from the polarized Raman spectra on the Pt bottom electrode. These results demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a very useful means to characterize micro-patterned PZT films.

new superconductor of sodium cobalt oxide bilayer-hydrate, Na(X)COo(2)center dot yH(2)O (X approximate to 0.35), was characterized by chemical and structure analyses. The chemical analyses showed that the formal valence of Co was +3.4, which was much lower than +3.65 that had been estimated from the Na content, x. The deviation from the charge neutralization was considered to be compensated by oxonium (H3O+) ions, which were evidenced by Raman spectroscopy. Structural studies based on Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction suggested that the H3O+ ions occupy the same crystallographic sites as the Na+ ions.
