Anuj’s paper published as a cover in Advanced Materials
Our new paper in Advanced Materials paper is out, which shows that the standard model for conductivity in oxides, used for the last 60 years, is wrong. When an oxide has more than one cation type, the model breaks down. Using theory and experiment we show how to correct the model to accurately describe small polaron hopping in complex metal oxides.
