UNderstanding, descRibing And Visualizing Electronic charge in noveL oxide heteroStructures

Objective

"Charge reorganization at the interface between oxides is the key feature of the emerging field of oxide-based electronics
(""oxitronics""). Oxides like perovskites, ferrites, manganites (as SrTiO3, BaTiO3, Fe3O4, BiFeO3, CaMnO3) have become
the building blocks for complex heterostructures coupling together at nanoscale different electronic and magnetic properties.
Heterostructures can be used to create new outstanding electronic devices to go beyond the traditional silicon-based
architectures. To control oxides electro-magnetic properties it's mandatory to completely understand the phenomena taking
place at the nanoscale, like charge fluctuation and disproportionation, spin symmetry breaking or local chemical
coordination experimentally measured with atomic-resolution and directly connected with the changes in the electronic and
optical excitations spectra. This project wants to integrate sophisticated ab initio parameter-free simulations, based on
Density Functional Theory and including many body effects, through Many Body Perturbation Theory and Time Dependent
Density Functional Theory, with measurements in order to understand and to predict the mechanisms in oxides at
nanoscale. These transferable and predictive parameter-free approaches will complement and guide the experiment. The
direct comparison of calculated spectra with the experiment will permit to identify the electronic origin of the different
excitations, their mutual interactions and their coupling driven by other degrees of freedom. The electronic structure of
oxides (charge occupation, bandstructure, bandoffsets) across the metal-insulator transition will be calculated through the
correct estimation of dielectric screening function; effect of dopants and strain on oxides and interfaces will be analyzed by
calculating electronic and optical spectra. Moreover the side-by-side direct comparison between the calculated spectra and
measured observables will permit to refine the theory and its ingredients."

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.

€ 173 076,00
Total cost

The total costs incurred by this organisation to participate in the project, including direct and indirect costs. This amount is a subset of the overall project budget.
