    (American Physical Society (APS), 2023-03-13) Guo, L; Zhao, WY; Li, Q; Xu, M; Chen, L; Bake, A; Vu, THY; He, YH; Fang, Y; Cortie, DL; Mo, SK; Edmonds, MT; Wang, Xl; Dong, S; Karel, J; Zheng, RK
    Topological insulators are emerging materials with insulating bulk and symmetry protected nontrivial surface states. One of the most fascinating transport behaviors in a topological insulator is the quantized anomalous Hall insulator, which has been observed in magnetic-topological-insulator-based devices. In this work, we report a successful doping of rare earth element Tb into Bi1.08Sb0.9Te2S topological insulator single crystals, in which the Tb moments are antiferromagnetically ordered below ∼10 K. Benefiting from the in-bulk-gap Fermi level, transport behavior dominant by the topological surface states is observed below ∼150 K. At low temperatures, strong Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are observed, which exhibit 2D-like behavior. The topological insulator with long range magnetic ordering in rare earth doped Bi1.08Sb0.9Te2S single crystal provides an ideal platform for quantum transport studies and potential applications. ©2023 American Physical Society.

    High Performance Composite Lithium-Rich Nickel Manganese Oxide Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
    (2013-01-01) Gummow, RJ; Sharma, N; Feng, RS; Han, GH; He, YH
    Li-1.0[Li1/7Mn4/7 Ni-2/7]O-2 cathode material was prepared by a facile, one-pot synthesis method. The structure of the material was determined by Rietveld refinement of structural models using high-resolution synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data and was found to consist of two distinct phases. The major phase, with composition Li1.25(3)Ni0.17(1) Mn0.61(1)O2, close to the well-characterized L1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 composition can be described as an intergrowth structure of Li2MnO3 and LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 domains and the second phase is a lithium-deficient layered structure with refined composition Li0.85(1)Ni0.57(1)Mn0.55(1)O2. The composite cathode has a high initial discharge capacity of 250 mAh/g which drops to 225 mAh/g on the 2nd discharge cycle. This capacity is maintained on subsequent cycles. Time-resolved in-situ synchrotron XRD data was used to study the changes in the lattice parameters and phase evolution of the two phases during Li-insertion and extraction. © 2013, Electrochemical Society Inc.
