Q

Explain a cation vacancy substitution

A

introduce new cations with too much positive charge - so you make some vacancies to remove charge to compensate

48
Q

explain a cation interstitial substitution

A

introduce cations with insufficient positive charge - so you need to fill some vacant sites with different positive charges or change the oxidation state of the metal to add charge.

49

Q

explain an anion vacancy substitution

A

introduce a less positive cation - need to make vacancies to remove some of the more negative feelings by introducing some positive feeling vacancies where the anion used to be

52
Q

explain an anion interstitial substitution

A

either introducing an extra anion and balancing with an extra positive cation which increases number of atoms so need to fill an interstitial site; or balancing by changing the oxidation state of the metal and filling an extra interstitial with the extra atoms.

due to A-A and B-B forming clusters which increases repulsive energy so curve goes concave up.

A

many orbitals of the same energy overlap = to make a band of orbitals covering a range of energies over the entire crystal. (called the d band)

81
Q

what is d-p ovelap?

A
eg orbitals on TM can sigma overlap with p orbitals on an anion ---> splits into a bonding and anti bonding band
and t2g (dxy, dxz, dyz) orbitals can pi overlap with with O2- 2p orbitals
82
Q

how does a band form?

A

continuous overlap of d-p-d-p-d orbitals

83
Q

what are the conditions for d-d orbital overlap?

A

size of d orbitals must be large enough to overlap with neighbouring cations (favours LHS)

84
Q

what are the conditions for d-p orbital overlap?

A

size not important but energy of d and p is the controlling factor - if d orbitals are low in energy - similar to near the top of the O2- 2- band - gives strong overlap (favours RHS)

85
Q

what are the two criteria for the theory of the hubbard model?

A

electron transport would require transfer of an electron and spin pairing –> energetically unfavourable
