This week our image of the week comes from a Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics paper investigating the effect of oxygen vacancies on the properties of doped Tin Oxide through Mössbauer spectroscopy.
ELF isosurface (isovalue of 0.75) plot for Sn16O32 (a) defect-free system and (b) supercell containing two oxygen vacancies. Red and blue colours stand for the regions of high and low localised electrons. Image take from “The effect of oxygen vacancies on the hyperfine properties of metal-doped SnO2”, F H Aragón et al 2017 J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 50 115103. (C) IOP Publishing, all rights reserved.
The image shows the result of simulations of the electron localisation function (ELF) to study the effect of oxygen vacancies on their neighborhood.
