  • Theoretical and Experimental Aspects of Current and Future Research on Nbo2 Thin Film Devices
    crystals Review Theoretical and Experimental Aspects of Current and Future Research on NbO2 Thin Film Devices Denis Music 1,* , Andreas M. Krause 1 and Pär A. T. Olsson 1,2 1 Department of Materials Science and Applied Mathematics, Malmö University, SE-205 06 Malmö, Sweden; [email protected] (A.M.K.); [email protected] (P.A.T.O.) 2 Division of Mechanics, Lund University, Box 118, SE-221 00 Lund, Sweden * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-40-6658709 Abstract: The present research front of NbO2 based memory, energy generation, and storage thin film devices is reviewed. Sputtering plasmas contain NbO, NbO2, and NbO3 clusters, affecting nucleation and growth of NbO2, often leading to a formation of nanorods and nanoslices. NbO2 (I41/a) undergoes the Mott topological transition at 1081 K to rutile (P42/mnm), yielding changes in the electronic structure, which is primarily utilized in memristors. The Seebeck coefficient is a key physical parameter governing the performance of thermoelectric devices, but its temperature behavior is still controversial. Nonetheless, they perform efficiently above 900 K. There is a great potential to improve NbO2 batteries since the theoretical capacity has not been reached, which may be addressed by future diffusion studies. Thermal management of functional materials, comprising thermal stress, thermal fatigue, and thermal shock, is often overlooked even though it can lead to failure. NbO2 exhibits relatively low thermal expansion and high elastic modulus. The future for NbO2 thin film devices looks promising, but there are issues that need to be tackled, such as dependence of properties on strain and grain size, multiple interfaces with point and extended defects, and interaction with various natural and artificial environments, enabling multifunctional Citation: Music, D.; Krause, A.M.; applications and durable performance.

Microbial activity in mixed wastes can have an appreciable effect on the dissolution or precipitation of toxic metals and radionuclides. Fundamental information on microbial dissolution and stabilization (immobilization) of toxic metals and radionuclides, in particular actinides and fission products, in nuclear wastes under various microbial process conditions, e.g., aerobic, denitrifying, iron-reducing, fermentative, sulfate-reducing, and methanogenic conditions is very limited. Microbial transformations of typical waste components such as metal oxides, metal coprecipitates, naturally occurring minerals, and metal organic complexes are reviewed.

    PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF PLATINUM GROUP METALS 2 CHAPTER 2 | PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF PLATINUM GROUP METALS CONTENTS 2.1 OVERVIEW OF PGMS 04 2.2 METALLIC PGMS 05 2.3 COMPOUNDS OF PLATINUM GROUP METALS 06 SIMPLE COMPOUNDS 06 COMPLEX COMPOUNDS 07 REFERENCES 13 2 CHAPTER 2 | PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF PLATINUM GROUP METALS SUMMARY • Six elements of Groups 8, 9, and 10 in the periodic table constitute the platinum group metals (PGMs): platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), and osmium (Os). • The physical and mechanical properties of the PGMs and their compounds indicate a wide range of properties with widely varying densities and solubilities (see Table 2-1). • Metallic forms of PGMs are generally considered to be ‘inert’, i.e., not chemically reactive. However, this is dependent in part on dimensional characteristics. Thus, while massive metal forms have low chemical reactivity, fi nely-divided metal powders with high surface area show greater reactivity. • Simple binary compounds exist for each of the PGMs. They also form a vast array of complex coordination compounds in which the central metal atom is bound to a variety of ligands by coordinate bonding, including halides, sulphur, amines, and other atoms and groups. • This unique coordination chemistry has made PGM compounds of great industrial value, but also can have implications for the health of workers exposed to certain of these compounds due to the linkages with biological behaviour and toxicity (see Chapter 6). • The complex halogenated platinum compounds (CHPS) are among those which are industrially and toxicologically important.
