Hydrogen in aluminum oxide and at the aluminum oxide/aluminum interface: an ab initio thermodynamics and Monte Carlo investigation
The thermodynamic stability, wide band gap, and extreme hardness of Al₂O₃ make it indispensable in anti-corrosion coatings, resistive switching devices, and superconducting qubits. However, point defects due to impurities like hydrogen, or intentionally added dopants, can significantly alter the pro...
