Thin epitaxial films have a great potential to be used in real life applications, such as oxide-on-silicon. However, they often contain a large amount of defects, leading to an enhanced electrical conductivity. This could be desirable in some applications (i. e. memristors), but the mechanism is not fully understood. Here we report on the investigation of epitaxial barium strontium titanate thin films deposited on strontium titanate single crystal substrates (Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3/SrRuO3//SrTiO3 heterostructures) with a controlled epitaxial strain. The impedance analysis allowed us to propose a model, which explains changes in the temperature dependence of the conductivity based on the strain-dependent anisotropic change of electron/hole mobility.

Abstract The variations of valence band energy with stress effects in zinc-blende GaN are proposed in this paper. The calculations are based on a six-band strain dependent k·p Hamiltonian, and can be self-consistently solved by Schrödinger-Poisson equation. Accurate physical pictures are given for the quantized valence subband structure under biaxial and uniaxial stress in (001) surface along the [110] direction accounting the quantum confinement effect. The warping of the energy profile results in carrier distribution change. This research will be beneficial for improving the hole mobility and the selective of optimum stress for group-III nitride semiconductor based devices.

AbstractWe investigate the surface kinetics of Pt using the extended embedded-atom method, an extension of the embedded-atom method with additional degrees of freedom to include the nonbulk data from lower-coordinated systems as well as the bulk properties. The surface energies of the clean Pt (111) and Pt (100) surfaces are found to be 0.13 eV and 0.147 eV respectively, in excellent agreement with experiment. The Pt on Pt (111) adatom diffusion barrier is found to be 0.38 eV and predicted to be strongly strain-dependent, indicating that, in the compressive domain, adatoms are unstable and the diffusion barrier is lower; the nucleation occurs in the tensile domain. In addition, the dissociation barrier from the dimer configuration is found to be 0.82 eV. Therefore, we expect that atoms, once coalesced, are unlikely to dissociate into single adatoms. This essentially tells that by changing the applied strain, we can control the patterning of nanostructures on the metal surface.
