Recent experiments have realized a twisted bilayer-like optical potential for ultra-cold atoms, which in contrast to solid-state set ups may allow for an arbitrary ratio between the inter- and intra-layer couplings. For commensurate Moir\'e…
We report on the electronic structure, density of states and transmission properties of the periodic one-dimensional Tight-Binding (TB) lattice with a single orbital per site and nearest-neighbor interactions, with a generic unit cell of…
We explore the oxidation of a single layer of black phosphorous using ab initio density functional theory calculation. We search for the equilibrium structures of phosphorene oxides, PO$_x$ with various oxygen concentrations $x$…
Lead halide perovskites have been extensively studied as a class of materials with unique optoelectronic properties. A fundamental aspect that governs optical and electronic behaviors within these materials is the intricate coupling between…
We use the Mott-Littleton approach to evaluate polarisation energies in LaMnO$_3$ lattice associated with holes localized on both Mn$^{3+}$ cation and O$^{2-}$ anion. The full (electronic and ionic) lattice relaxation energy for a hole…
The crystal structure of Pb$_{10}$(PO$_4$)$_6$O, the proposed matrix for the potential room-temperature superconductor LK-99, Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO$_4$)$_6$O ($x = 0.9-1.0$), has been reinvestigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using…
Although $\beta$-TeO$_2$ is a promising $p$-type transparent conducting oxide (TCO) due to the large optical gap ($\sim$ 3.7 eV) and a light effective hole mass, its hole dopability still remains unexplored. In this work, electronic…
We examined the effect of Pb substitution in the layered superconductor LaO0.5F0.5Bi1-xPbxS2 (x=0~0.15) through the measurements of the resistivity, thermal expansion, specific heat, and Seebeck coefficient. These transport and thermal…
A metastable phase of NbN with superconducting Tc=16.4 K was reported recently by Treece and collaborators. The reported structure of the thin film sample deviates from the rocksalt (B1) NbN structure with 25% ordered vacancies on each…
Organolead halide perovskites are a family of hybrid organic-inorganic compounds whose remarkable optoelectronic properties have been under intensive scrutiny in recent years. Here we use inelastic X-ray scattering to study low-energy…
We provide a first-principles description of the crystalline and oxygen-deficient Ta2O5 using refined computational methods and models. By performing calculations on a number of candidate structures, we determined the low-temperature phase…
BaBiO3 is a prototype ``charge ordering system'' forming interpenetrating sublattices with nominal valence Bi(3+) and Bi(5+). It can also be regarded as a three-dimensional version of a Peierls insulator, the insulating gap being a…
We study the interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate, which is confined in an optical lattice, with a largely detuned light field propagating through the condensate. If the condensate is in its ground state it acts as a periodic…
Lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) has attracted considerable interest as a promising electrolyte material for potential use in lithium batteries. However, its electronic properties are still not thoroughly understood. In this work, density…
The electronic structure of crystalline CdTe, CdO, $\alpha$-TeO$_2$, CdTeO$_3$ and Cd$_3$TeO$_6$ is studied by means of first principles calculations. The band structure, total and partial density of states, and charge densities are…
Modulations in manganites attributed to stripes of charge/orbital/spin order are thought to result from strong electron-lattice interactions that lock the superlattice and parent lattice periodicities. Surprisingly in La1-xCaxMnO3(x>0.5, 90…
Comparison is made of the electronic structure of the little-studied layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ with that of Na$_x$CoO$_2$, which has attracted tremendous interest since superconductivity was discovered in its hydrate.…
Stability of oxygen point defects in Ruddlesden-Popper oxides (La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$)$_{2}$MO$_{4{\pm}{\delta}}$ (M = Co, Ni, Cu) is studied with density functional theory calculations to determine their stable sites, charge states, and…
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…
The diffusion of Li in electrode materials is key factor to charging/discharging rate capacity of Li-ion battery (LIB). Recently, two-dimensional phosphorene has been proposed as a very promising electrode material due to its ultrafast and…
