Conductivity Switching of N-Doped Ta Oxide Nanotubular Arrays
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ta oxynitride (TaO x N y ) nanotubes (NTs) were synthesized by the anodization of Ta in an aqueous H 2 SO 4 + HF solution, forming Ta oxide NTs, followed by the high-temperature conversion of Ta oxide to TaO x N y in ammonia. The electrochemical behavior of these nanotubular arrays was then investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), revealing a wide range of interesting properties. The Ta oxynitride NTs, which are shown to contain evenly spaced holes along their length, undergo a reversible redox process involving cation intercalation in both aqueous solutions and dry acetonitrile at potentials negative of 0.5 V, while above this, the nanotubular array is nonconducting. From the CV charges, it is possible that this reaction occurs only on the exposed TaO x N y NT surfaces, although the nanotubular array does undergo conductivity and color switching. EIS analysis has confirmed the pseudocapacitive properties of the TaO x N y NTs at < 0.5 V, while at potentials above this, Mott–Schottky analysis shows that they are n-type semiconductors having a donor density of ca. 6 × 10 21 cm –3 .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
