Complex oxide

See also: Mixed oxide
The crystal structure of bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, a high-temperature superconductor and complex oxide.

A complex oxide is a chemical compound that contains oxygen and at least two other elements (or oxygen and just one other element that's in at least two oxidation states).[1] Complex oxide materials are notable for their wide range of magnetic and electronic properties, such as ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, and high-temperature superconductivity. These properties often come from their strongly correlated electrons in d or f orbitals.

Natural occurrence

Many minerals found in the ground are complex oxides. Commonly studied mineral crystal families include spinels and perovskites.

Applications

Complex oxide materials are used in a variety of commercial applications.

Magnets

A ferrite bead near the end of a Mini USB cable helps suppress high-frequency noise.

Magnets made of the complex oxide ferrite are commonly used in transformer cores and in inductors.[2] Ferrites are ideal for these applications because they are magnetic, electrically insulating, and inexpensive.

Transducers and actuators

Piezoelectric transducers and actuators are often made of the complex oxide PZT (lead zirconate titanate).[3] These transducers are used in applications such ultrasound imaging and some microphones. PZT is also sometimes used for piezo ignition in lighters and gas grills.

Capacitors

Complex oxide materials are the dominant dielectric material in ceramic capacitors.[4] About one trillion ceramic capacitors are produced each year to be used in electronic equipment.

Fuel cells

Solid oxide fuel cells often use complex oxide materials as their electrolytes, anodes, and cathodes.[5]

Gemstone jewelry

Spanish-made emerald and gold pendant exhibited at Victoria and Albert Museum.[6]

Many precious gemstones, such as emerald and topaz, are complex oxide crystals. Historically, some complex oxide materials (such as strontium titanate, yttrium aluminium garnet, and gadolinium gallium garnet) were also synthesized as inexpensive diamond simulants, though after 1976 they were mostly eclipsed by cubic zirconia.

New electronic devices

As of 2015, there is research underway to commercialize complex oxides in new kinds of electronic devices, such as ReRAM, FeRAM, and memristors. Complex oxide materials are also being researched for their use in spintronics.

Another potential application of complex oxide materials is superconducting power lines.[7] A few companies have invested in pilot projects, but the technology is not widespread.

History of Bermuda

Map of the island of Bermuda Bermuda was first documented by a European in 1503 by Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez. In 1609, the English Virginia Company, which had established Jamestown in Virginia two years earlier, permanently settled Bermuda in the aftermath of a hurricane, when the crew and passengers of Sea Venture steered the ship onto the surrounding reef to prevent it from sinking, then landed ashore. Bermuda's first capital, St. George's, was established in 1612.[1]...
