Defect-Mediated Electronic Structure in Ag2CrO4: From Electronic Structure and Bonding Analysis to Optical, Magnetic, and Transport Responses
Silver chromate (Ag2CrO4) was synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal route to elucidate how defect-mediated structural distortions govern its multifunctional properties. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement suggest a phase-pure orthorhombic structure, while selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) an...
