Research Abstract |
We investigated the important thermodynamic stability and crystal structure for an object of highly functional oxides, such as the cathode active material for lithium ion battery and ferroelectric material for FeRAM, We are also the first to analyze local structure of the bulk sample by Pair Distribution Function (PDF) technique using neutron source. It was found that local structure and thermodynamic stability explained well the observed electrode and ferroelectric properties. Moreover, it is obtained excellent results that is possible to perform a new ex situ analysis of the change in the crystal structure in a coin cell during charge process.
