NMR and Impedance Spectroscopy Studies on Lithium Ion Diffusion in Microcrystalline Îł-LiAlO2
In this work nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) studies on Li ion dynamics in microcrystalline γ-LiAlO2 are presented. The sample was prepared by solid state synthesis between Li2CO3 and Al2O3 in air, followed by a quenching procedure. The presence of phase-pure γ-LiAlO2 was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction including Rietveld refinement. Further structural characterization was done with 6Li, 7Li and 27Al NMR. Several NMR techniques such as spin-lattice relaxation measurements, motional narrowing experiments, as well as spin-alignment echo were employed for the investigation of Li ion diffusion. The measurements were carried out at high temperatures (up to 970 K) in order to access the regime of Li ion motion being very slow. The dc conductivities measured by IS in the temperature range from 680 K to 870 K were converted to diffusion coefficients being compatible with those obtained by NMR. © 2015 Walter de Gruyter
Local Ion Dynamics in Polycrystalline β-LiGaO2: A Solid-State NMR Study
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is an efficient technique to characterize dynamics and structure of materials. It has been widely used to elucidate ion dynamics in lithium ion conductors. Fast moving lithium ions are needed in energy storage devices, whereas slow ion motion is exploited in some materials used, for example, as blankets in fusion reactors. β-lithium gallium oxide (LiGaO2) is a slow Li+ ionic conductor similar to γ-lithium aluminum oxide (LiAlO2). In an ion conductor, in addition to the main diffusion process, localized motions (to-and-fro jumps) may be present. In the present work, with the help of solid-state NMR experiments, we report on the localized movements of Li+ ionic species in β-LiGaO2 in the temperature range between 300 K and 450 K. In this work, we have mainly extracted the peculiarities of ion dynamics from 7Li spin-alignment echo NMR measurements and the observation of the motional narrowing of the central transition signal of 7Li. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2017
Supersymmetric D-branes and calibrations on general N=1 backgrounds
We study the conditions to have supersymmetric D-branes on general {\cal N}=1
backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond fluxes. These conditions can be written in terms
of the two pure spinors associated to the SU(3)\times SU(3) structure on
T_M\oplus T^\star_M, and can be split into two parts each involving a different
pure spinor. The first involves the integrable pure spinor and requires the
D-brane to wrap a generalised complex submanifold with respect to the
generalised complex structure associated to it. The second contains the
non-integrable pure spinor and is related to the stability of the brane. The
two conditions can be rephrased as a generalised calibration condition for the
brane. The results preserve the generalised mirror symmetry relating the type
IIA and IIB backgrounds considered, giving further evidence for this duality.Comment: 23 pages. Some improvements and clarifications, typos corrected and

Slow Lithium Transport in Metal Oxides on the Nanoscale
This article reports on Li self-diffusion in lithium containing metal oxide compounds. Case studies on LiNbO3, Li3NbO4, LiTaO3, LiAlO2, and LiGaO2 are presented. The focus is on slow diffusion processes on the nanometer scale investigated by macroscopic tracer methods (secondary ion mass spectrometry, neutron reflectometry) and microscopic methods (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, conductivity spectroscopy) in comparison. Special focus is on the influence of structural disorder on diffusion. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston
