Thermodynamic criterion for searching high mobility two-dimensional electron gas at KTaO_(3)interface

Two-dimensional electron gases(2 DEGs)formed at the interface between two oxide insulators present a promising platform for the exploration of emergent phenomena.While most of the previous works focused on SrTiO_(3-)based 2 DEGs,here we took the amorphous-ABO_(3)/KTaO_(3)system as the research object to study the relationship between the interface conductivity and the redox property of B-site metal in the amorphous film.The criterion of oxide-oxide interface redox reactions for the B-site metals,Zr,Al,Ti,Ta,and Nb in conductive interfaces was revealed:the formation heat of metal oxide,ⅢH_(f)^(o),is lower than-350 kJ/(mol O)and the work function of the metalΦis in the range of 3.75 eV<Φ<4.4 eV.Furthermore,we found that the smaller absolute value ofⅢH_(f)^(o)and the larger value ofΦof the B-site metal would result in higher mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas that formed at the corresponding amorphous-ABO_(3)/KTaO_(3)interface.This finding paves the way for the design of high-mobility all-oxide electronic devices.

Damage characteristics and constitutive modeling of the 2D C/SiC composite: Part Ⅱ–Material model and numerical implementation

In this work, a macroscopic non-linear constitutive model accounting for damage, inelastic strain and unilateral behavior is proposed for the 2D plain-woven C/Si C composite. A set of scalar damage variables and a new thermodynamic potential expression are introduced in the framework of continuum damage mechanics. In the deduced constitutive equations, the material＇s progressive damage deactivation behavior during the compression loading is described by a continuous function, and different deactivation rates under uniaxial and biaxial compression loadings are also considered. In damage evolution laws, the coupling effect among the damage modes and impediment effect of compression stress on the development of shear damage in different plane stress states are taken into account. Besides, the general plasticity theory is applied to describing the evolution of inelastic strain in tension and/or shear stress state. The Tsai–Wu failure criterion is adopted for strength analysis. Additionally, the material model is implemented as a user-defined material subroutine（UMAT） and linked to the ABAQUS finite element software, and its performance is demonstrated through several numerical examples.
