Rakowsky and Dholabhai publish in Energy Advances
Jason Rakowsky ’23 (physics) and Pratik Dholabhai, associate professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, published “Interface layer chemistry dependent oxygen defect formation in BaZrO3(110)/SrTiO3(100) heterostructures” in Energy Advances. Their work sheds light on the fundamental aspects of mismatched perovskite oxide interfaces and their influence on thermodynamic stability of oxygen vacancy defects and charge transfer, which has energy applications in designing next-generation thin film oxide electrolytes. Their article was published as part of the Themed Collections “Research advancing UN SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy” and was selected as Energy Advances "Recent Hot Articles."
