In this paper we examine the effects of varying several experimental parameters in the Kane quantum computer architecture: A-gate voltage, the qubit depth below the silicon oxide barrier, and the back gate depth to explore how these…
By means of full-potential all-electron density-functional theory and many-body perturbation theory, we compute the band alignment at a prototypical hybrid inorganic/organic interface. The electronic properties of a model system built of…
On the basis of ab-initio total-energy electronic-structure calculations, we find that interface localized electron states at the SiC/SiO$_2$ interface emerge in the energy region between 0.3 eV below and 1.2 eV above the bulk…
We have calculated the exchange-energy contribution to the total energy of quasi-two-dimensional hole systems realized by a hard-wall quantum-well confinement of valence-band states in typical semiconductors. The magnitude of the exchange…
Because it is easily switched from insulator to metal either via chemical doping or electrical gating, silicon is at the core of modern information technology and remains a candidate platform for quantum computing. The metal-to-insulator…
Accurate and efficient approaches to predict the optical properties of organic semiconducting compounds could accelerate the search for efficient organic photovoltaic materials. Nevertheless, predicting the optical properties of organic…
We comment on a recent paper published by McWilliams et al claiming that high-pressure/high-temperature hydrogen is a semi-conductor or semi-metal, in conflict with all earlier measurements on this system which show that it is metallic. We…
The Zeeman splitting of the donor spectra in cubic- and hexagonal-GaN are studied using an effective mass theory approach. Soft-core pseudopotentials were used to describe the chemical shift of the different substitutional dopants. The…
The paper in the title [1] reports measurements of neutron scattering from hydrogen in the 1-100 eV range of energy transfers, using the direct geometry MARI spectrometer at ISIS. Stock et al claim that their measurements have better or…
Recent advances in the characterization of hexagonal-diamond silicon (2H-Si) have shown that this material possesses remarkably different structural, electronic, and optical properties as compared to the common cubic-diamond (3C) polytype.…
In the search for new renewable energy to replace fossil fuels, Hydrogen is one of the most promising candidates for clean energy production. But cheap Hydrogen separation and storage is still a big challenge. Photoelectrochemical devices…
The electromagnetic calorimeters of the various magnetic spectrometers in Hall C at Jefferson Lab are presented. For the existing HMS and SOS spectrometers design considerations, relevant construction information, and comparisons of…
Density functionals with a range-separated treatment of the exchange energy are known to improve upon their semilocal forerunners and fixed-fraction hybrids. The conversion of a given semilocal functional into its short-range analog is not…
The energy spectrum of spin-orbit coupled states of individual sub-surface boron acceptor dopants in silicon have been investigated using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) at cryogenic temperatures. The spatially resolved tunnel spectra…
Metal-organic interfaces determine critical processes in organic electronic devices. The frontier molecular orbitals (highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, HOMO and LUMO) are crucial in determining charge-injection and…
We propose a possible route to achieve high thermoelectric efficiency in molecular junctions by combining a local chemical tuning of the molecular electronic states with the use of semiconducting electrodes. The former allows to control the…
I discuss a topological relation of the conduction property of a many-particle system on a periodic lattice at zero temperature to the energy spectrum. When the particle number per unit cell is an irreducible fraction $p/q$, an insulator…
A new variational method for studying the equilibrium states of an interacting particles system has been proposed. The statistical description of the system is realized by means of a density matrix. This method is used for description of…
The flow of a thermoelectric current through a semiconductor of submicron dimensions is analyzed. The rate of surface relaxation of the energy is assumed to be much higher than the rate of electron-electron collisions. Under these…
Semiconductor thermistors operating in the variable range hopping conduction regime have been used in thermal detectors of all kinds for more than fifty years. Their use in sensitive bolometers for infrared astronomy was a highly developed…
