Mechanism of resistance switching in heterostructure Au / LaMnO 3/ SrNb 0.01 Ti 0.99 O 3 was investigated. In Au / LaMnO 3/ SrNb 0.01 Ti 0.99 O 3 devices the LaMnO 3 films were fabricated under various oxygen pressures. The content of the oxygen vacancies has a significant impact on the resistance switching performance. We propose that the resistance switching characteristics of Au / LaMnO 3/ SrNb 0.01 Ti 0.99 O 3 arise from the modulation of the Au / LaMnO 3 Schottky barrier due to the change of the oxygen vacancy concentration at Au / LaMnO 3 interface under the external electric field. The effect of the oxygen vacancy concentration on the resistance switching is explained based on the self-consistent calculation. Both the experimental and numerical results confirm the important role of the oxygen vacancies in the resistance switching behavior.

The role of a surface oxygen vacancy in the N 2 O dissociation over a Cu 2 O surface was studied using density functional theory — generalized gradient approximation periodic calculations. To perform this study, surface slab model — [Formula: see text] surface cell was used. The results indicated that N 2 O adsorption properties were associated with the surface oxygen vacancies. The presence of a surface oxygen vacancy, prepared by removing one O SUF atom from [Formula: see text] supercell, makes the N 2 O decomposition possible, which was believed to occur at a oxygen vacancy site. The N 2 O decomposition at the surface oxygen vacant site depends on whether the molecule is adsorbed with the O - or N -end on a vacancy. For the first case, the reaction proceeds spontaneously, which leads to an ejection of N 2 from the surface and the rest of the oxygen atoms occupying the vacancy. In the second case, even though there is an elongation of both N – N and N – O bonds, the dissociation is unfeasible due to very small adsorption energy and high activation energy. The role of the defective surface with surface oxygen vacancy is to provide electrons to the adsorbed molecule.

Due to higher oxygen vacancy concentration and trivalent lattice cerium concentration , ceria (CeO2−δ) incorporated Nafion film shows better durability (4.2 times) than pure Nafion film.
