As a starting point La2CuO4 and Nd2CuO4 will be the first candidates to be synthesised and
examined. LCO is reported to be a p-type material, while NCO is n-type, and have been studied
extensively due to superconductivity as high as 40 K for doped LCO. As of now, LCO is being
synthesised and will be checked by XRD. Successful products are to be used to check the
conductivity and Seebeck.
A long-term goal is to create a system that might be able to emit light. Light emitting diodes are
found everywhere in today’s technology. They are highly efficient, and environmentally more
friendly than other systems. Combining heterojunctions in some way to have the system emit light
could be used in several applications, one of them being catalysis.
