Electron Configuration of Multielectron Atoms03:26

Electron Configuration of Multielectron Atoms

57.4K
The alkali metal sodium (atomic number 11) has one more electron than the neon atom. This electron must go into the lowest-energy subshell available, the 3s orbital, giving a 1s22s22p63s1 configuration. The electrons occupying the outermost shell orbital(s) (highest value of n) are called valence electrons, and those occupying the inner shell orbitals are called core electrons. Since the core electron shells correspond to noble gas electron configurations, we can abbreviate electron...

Electron Orbital Model

67.6K
Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.
The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

Imperfections in Crystal Structure: Stoichiometric Point Defects

143
Schottky defects arise when some lattice points in a crystal, such as those in NaCl, remain unoccupied, creating lattice vacancies without disturbing the overall electrical neutrality of the crystal. This defect is common in ionic crystals where the positive and negative ions are similar in size, as seen in sodium chloride and cesium chloride. The presence of Schottky defects enables the crystal to conduct electricity to a small extent through an ionic mechanism. Electric fields cause nearby...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Oxygen vacancies in strontium titanate (SrTiO3) act as electron donors by creating a deep, partially occupied localized level due to electron correlation. This explains their dual role as donors and deep-gap states.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Physics
  • Defect Chemistry

Background:

  • Oxygen vacancies are crucial defects in transition metal oxides like strontium titanate (SrTiO3).
  • These vacancies are considered primary electron donors in SrTiO3, yet are associated with deep gap states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To resolve the inconsistency between oxygen vacancies acting as donors and creating deep gap states in SrTiO3.
  • Investigate the impact of electron correlation on oxygen vacancy behavior in SrTiO3.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical investigation incorporating electron correlation effects.
  • Analysis of the electronic structure and defect states associated with oxygen vacancies.

Main Results:

  • The oxygen vacancy-induced localized level can trap a maximum of one electron; the second electron resides in the conduction band.
  • This electron correlation effect explains the deep in-gap state (approx. 1 eV below the conduction band) observed in photoemission.
  • The oxygen vacancy in SrTiO3 is fundamentally a magnetic impurity with a partially occupied deep level due to strong Coulomb repulsion.

Conclusions:

  • Electron correlation provides a unified explanation for oxygen vacancies in SrTiO3 acting as both donors and deep-gap states.
  • An Anderson impurity model for oxygen vacancies in SrTiO3 is proposed, highlighting their magnetic impurity nature.
