New Preprint on Oxygen-Vacancy Trends in Main-Group Oxides

Manish Kumar’s manuscript “Periodic Trends in Oxygen Vacancy Formation Energies Across Binary Main-Group Metal Oxides” has been submitted for publication, and a preprint is now available on arXiv. The study computes oxygen vacancy formation energies for 39 binary main-group metal oxides and fits a crystal feature model that estimates them from bulk properties alone. Coauthors include Bridget Ferris and former group member Avital Isakov.
