| Research Abstract |
We explore structural and transport properties of artificial heterostructures including brownmillerite. This would provide invaluable fundamental insight for further development in creating novel oxygen ion conductors. In this project, First we discover high-temperature metal-insulator transition in oxygen-deficient Fe-based oxide epitaxial thin films. This is distinct from the behavior for the bulk and the metal-insulator transition temperature of 620K is highest for the Fe-based oxide.
We also established that an approach to clarify distortions at an atomic level using annular bright-field imaging in aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). With this approach, we revealed that in a strained film there are some degrees of freedom of the oxygen atomic positions.We further fabricate heterostructure consisting of brownmillerite and perovskite and found the novel conducting behavior due to the absence of the oxygen vacancy ordering at the interface.
