In present study, halloysite (Hal) clay mineral was modified by promoters, such as ceria, Cu-
doped and La-doped ceria. Comprehensive techniques were used to study the …

Strain has been widely recognized as important for tuning the behavior of defects in metal
oxides since properties such as defect configuration, electronic structure, excess charge …

Electron localization and polaron mobility in oxygen-deficient as well as Li-doped
monoclinic tungsten trioxide have been studied in the adiabatic limit in the framework of …

A rare earth doped form of ceria (CeO2) is of interest as a potential candidate for solid oxide
fuel cells (SOFCs) because of its relatively high oxygen ion conductivity at temperatures …

Oxygen vacancies in bulk CeO2 have been investigated using the Heyd–Scuseria–
Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional method. Results show that oxygen vacancies tend to …

The development of new electrochromic materials and devices, like smart windows, has an
enormous impact on the energy efficiency of modern society. One of the crucial materials in …

Recently, vacancy-induced ferromagnetism in nanostructured materials, that in the pristine
state are diamagnetic, aroused great interest among researchers due to their strong …

We investigate how the redox properties of ceria are affected by the fraction of Fock
exchange in screened HSE06-based hybrid density functionals, and we compare with PBE+ …

We report on the effect of Nb substitution on the lattice evolution and magnetic properties of
the Ce 1− x Nb x O 2. Based on the microstructure analysis the solubility limit of Nb was …

We examine the effects of the dopant type and the dopant distribution on the ion diffusion in
ceria doped with rare-earth elements (Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, and Gd). Diffusion is simulated by …
