Probing the properties of dislocations in SrTiO₃ through transient transport measurements — •Roger De Souza — Institute of Physical Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, 52056 Aachen, Germany

There is renewed interest in the interaction between oxygen vacancies and dislocations in the perovskite oxide SrTiO₃, driven by the material’s possible application in devices for all-oxide electronics and for resistive switching. In my talk, I will demonstrate how transient transport experiments — comprising ¹⁸O/¹⁶O isotope exchanges and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) analysis — can be used to obtain a deeper understanding of this interaction. Having first introduced the thermodynamics of space-charge formation at extended defects, I will focus on describing experiments and simulations on various geometries: annealed single crystals, bicrystals, and polished single crystals. Finally, I will discuss how these studies allow us to arrive at a consistent description of point-defect behaviour at dislocations in SrTiO₃.
