The formation energies of the oxygen vacancy and titanium interstitial in rutile TiO2 were calculated by the screened exchange (sX) hybrid density functional method, which gives a band gap of 3.1 eV, close to the experimental value. The O…
A detailed defect energy level map was investigated for heterostructures of 26 unit cells of LaAlO3 on SrTiO3 prepared at a low oxygen partial pressure of 10-6 mbar. The origin is attributed to the presence of dominating oxygen defects in…
We have calculated the properties of SrTiO3 (STO) using a wide array of density functionals ranging from standard semi-local functionals to modern range-separated hybrids, combined with several basis sets of varying size/quality. We show…
Correlated band theory is employed to investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of different arrangements of oxygen di- and tri-vacancy clusters in SrTiO$_3$. Hole and electron doping of oxygen deficient SrTiO$_3$ yields various…
In this work, we investigate and compare the electronic structures of SrTiO3 and KTaO3 under ultraviolet (UV) light induced electron doping. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), the evolution of the surface electronic…
The critical fluctuations in SrTiO$_3$ near its $105 K$ structural phase transition were studied with triple axis diffractometry using high energy ($\ge 100 keV$) synchrotron radiation in different SrTiO$_3$ crystals with different oxygen…
The properties of many intrinsic defects in the wide band gap semiconductor LaAlO3 are studied using the screened hybrid functional of Heyd, Scuseria, and Ernzerhof (HSE). As in pristine structures, exact exchange included in the screened…
In a common paradigm, the electronic structure of condensed matter is divided into weakly and strongly correlated compounds. While conventional band theory usually works well for the former class, many-body effects are essential for the…
Defect energy formation, lattice distortions and electronic structure of cubic In2O3 with Sn, Ga and O impurities were theoretically investigated using density functional theory. Different types of point defects, consisting of 1 to 4 atoms…
Heterostructures made of transition metal oxides are new tailor-made materials which are attracting much attention. We have constructed a 6-band k.p Hamiltonian and used it within the envelope function method to calculate the subband…
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…
Oxygen vacancies are often attributed to changes in the electronic transport for perovskite oxide materials (ABO$_3$). Here, we use density functional theory (DFT) coupled with non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to systematically…
The question whether excess electrons in SrTiO3 form free or trapped carriers is a crucial aspect for the electronic properties of this important material. This fundamental ambiguity prevents a consistent interpretation of the puzzling…
The effects of lattice relaxation in LaTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices are investigated using a combination of LDA$+U$ density functional theory, and Hartree-Fock effective Hamiltonian calculations. We find noticeable ($\sim 0.1$--0.2 \AA)…

We report on a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculation study of the SrTiO3(110)-(4 x 1) surface. It is found that antiphase domains are formed along the [1-10]-oriented stripes on the surface. The…
Phonons change remarkable the interatomic bond length in solids and this work suggest a novel method how this behavior can be displayed and analyzed. The bond-length spectrum is plotted for each of the different atomic bonding types. When…
Calculations of formation energies and charge transition levels of defects routinely rely on density functional theory (DFT) for describing the electronic structure. Since bulk band gaps of semiconductors and insulators are not well…
