Description
Extending the work started with LOI144, we present preliminary perturbed angular correlations results of vanadium oxides. The goal of this work is to understand, along with first-principles calculations, the effects of doping on the local structure in the dopant neighboring and its consequence on the electric and magnetic properties of the host oxides. Vanadium oxides are particularly attractive due to the phase transitions and to the capacity of the vanadium ion to change its oxidation state, being such properties well adequate for applications on, e.g., electrochemical energy storage via the intercalation of Li-ions, catalytic and optoelectronic devices. At ISOLDE-CERN, we started studying the incorporation of 111mCd by ion implantation as a function of temperature. In this presentation, we show promising preliminary results.
