Ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the relative stability of anatase and rutile polymorphs of TiO2 were carried using all-electron atomic orbitals methods with local density approximation (LDA). The rutile phase…
TiO$_2$ anatase doped with Co has been recently reported to exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism. $Ab$ $initio$ study on substitutional Co doping, however, yielded much larger magnetic moment for Co than experiment. Our calculations…
Copper dopants are varyingly reported to enhance photocatalytic activity at titanium dioxide surfaces through uncertain mechanisms. In order to interpret how copper doping might alter the performance of titanium dioxide photocatalysts in…
We report a first-principles study on the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of V-doped anatase TiO$_{2}$. The DFT+U (Hubbard coefficient) approach predicts semiconductor band structures for Ti$_{1-x}$V$_{x}$O$_{2}$ (x=6.25 and…
Room-temperature ferromagnetism has been recently discovered in Co-doped TiO$_2$ rutile. Our $ab$ $initio$ density-functional theory investigations show that the substitutional Co ions incorporated into TiO$_2$ rutile tend to cluster and…
This letter reports on the magnetic properties of Ti1-xCoxO2 anatase phase nanopowders with different Co contents. It is shown that oxygen vacancies play a fundamental role in promoting the long-range ferromagnetic order in the material…
We report on structural, magnetic and electronic properties of Co-implanted TiO2 rutile single crystals for different implantation doses. Strong ferromagnetism at room temperature and above is observed in TiO2 rutile plates after cobalt ion…
The Co-doped anatase TiO$_{2}$, a recently discovered room-temperature ferromagnetic insulator, has been studied by the first-principles calculations in the pseudo-potential plane-wave formalism within the local-spin-density approximation…
We report first-principles microscopic calculations of the formation energy, electrical activity, and magnetic moment of Co dopants and a variety of native defects in TiO2 anatase. Using these results, we use equilibrium thermodynamics to…
We demonstrate that room-temperature ferromagnetism in epitaxial Co-doped TiO2 anatase is driven by electron-mediated exchange interaction, and not by metallic Co clusters. Co(II) substitutes for Ti(VI) in the lattice and produces oxygen…
In this paper, I demonstrate a density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory study on the electronic properties of doped $TiO_2$ rutile as well as another tetragonal phase anatase with oxygen vacancy. The density of states and…
A combination of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT+U) is used to characterize excess electrons in TiO$_2$ rutile and anatase, two prototypical materials with identical chemical composition but…
We have investigated electronic structures of a room temperature diluted magnetic semiconductor : Co-doped anatase $\rm TiO_{2}$. We have obtained the half-metallic ground state in the local-spin-density approximation(LSDA) but the…
Titanium dioxide has been extensively studied in the rutile or anatase phases, while its high-pressure phases are less well understood, despite that many are thought to have interesting optical, mechanical and electrochemical properties.…
The energetics of mixing and defect ordering in solid solutions of fluorite-structured ThO$_{2}$ with oxides of trivalent cations (Sc, In, Y, Nd, La) are investigated by electronic density-functional-theory (DFT). Through DFT calculations…
Colloidal cobalt-doped TiO2 (anatase) nanocrystals were synthesized and studied by electronic absorption, magnetic circular dichroism, transmission electron microscopy, magnetic susceptibility, cobalt K-shell X-ray absorption spectroscopy,…

Fluorite structure ferroelectrics, especially hafnium oxide, are widely investigated for their application in non-volatile memories, sensors, actuators, RF devices and energy harvesters. Due to the metastable nature of the ferroelectric…
Co-doped ZnO is the prototypical dilute magnetic oxide showing many of the characteristics of ferromagnetism. The microscopic origin of the long range order however remains elusive, since the conventional mechanisms for the magnetic…
