Doping is one of the most common strategies for improving the photocatalytic and solar energy conversion properties of TiO$_2$, hence an accurate theoretical description of the electronic and optical properties of doped TiO$_2$ is of both…

Extreme lattice-mismatched III-V nitrides, such as Bi-incorporated GaN, have been realized experimentally thanks to recent advances in epitaxial growth and characterization techniques. However, theoretical insights into defect-related…

The adsorption of two different organic molecules cyanidin glucoside (C$_{21}$O$_{11}$H$_{20}$) and TA-St-CA on anatase (101) and (001) nanowires have been investigated using the standard and the range separated hybrid density functional…

We studied the electronic and atomic structures of anatase TiO2 codoped with Cr and N using hybrid density functional theory calculations. Nonlocal screened Hartree-Fock exchange energy is partially mixed with traditional semilocal exchange…

Structural and electronic properties comparison between anatase, rutile and monoclinic TiO2(B) titania polymorphs in bulk and related nanostructures simulated by two-dimensional slabs has been performed by means of density functional theory…

In this work an overall electronic structure including the position and formation energies of various intrinsic defects are computed for anatase using Density Functional Theory aided by Hubbard correction (DFT+U). The intrinsic point…

By means of first-principles calculations within the density functional theory, we study the structural and optical properties of codoped ZnO nanowires and compare them with those of the bulk and film. It is disclosed that the low…

Anatase TiO$_2$ is among the most studied materials for light-energy conversion applications, but the nature of its fundamental charge excitations is still unknown. Yet it is crucial to establish whether light absorption creates…

The electronic structure of Na2Ti2Sb2O, a parent compound of the newly discovered titanium-based oxypnictide superconductors, is studied by photon energy and polarization dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The…

Metal-insulator transition materials such as NbO2 have generated much excitement in recent years for their potential applications in computing and sensing. NbO2 has generated considerable debate over the nature of the phase transition, and…

Present study investigates the photoabsorption properties of single crystal rutile TiO2 (110) surfaces after they have been implanted with low fluence of Cobalt ions. The surfaces, after implantation, demonstrate fabrication of…

We perform the first-principles many-body GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) calculations on the two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D-hBN) to explore the effects of opposite atoms on the electronic structure and linear one-photon…

In the present work we investigate various optical properties (such as light absorption and reflectance) of anodic TiO2 nanotubes layers directly transferred as self-standing membranes onto quartz substrates. This allows investigation in a…

Many semiconductors present weak or forbidden transitions at their fundamental band gaps, inducing a widened region of transparency. This occurs in high-performing n-type transparent conductors (TCs) such as Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO), however…

Two-dimensional (2D) niobium oxydihalide NbOI$_2$ has been recently demonstrated as an excellent in-plane piezoelectric and nonlinear optical materials. Here we show that Janus niobium oxydihalide, NbO$XY$ (X, Y = Cl, Br, I and X$\neq$Y),…

Black TiO2 with/without noble metal has been proposed for visible photocatalyst, still leaving poor catalyst efficiency. Alternatively, phase-mixed TiO2 such as anatase and rutile has been commonly used for visible catalysts with the…

We demonstrate experimentally a chemical codoping approach that would simultaneously narrow the band gap and control the band edge positions of oxide semiconductors. Using TiO2 as an example, we show that a sequential doping scheme with…
