Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulation studies are performed to examine the implications of octahedral cation (Fe, Mo) site disorder for magnetization in the double-perovskite Sr2FeMoO6. Correlations between the near-neighbor cation distributions and the spin distributions are identified to gain insight into the spin arrangement within, and on the periphery of a given transition element cation cluster. It is shown that the drop in the magnetic moment is nearly linear with the increase in the mis-site defect concentration for the case of randomly created defects. Implications of the concomitant presence of mis-site defects and oxygen vacancies are also analyzed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
