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…
A combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of the archetypal oxide heterointerface system LaAlO3 on SrTiO3 is presented. High-resolution, hard x-ray photoemission is used to uncover the occupation of…
We propose a minimal tight-binding model for the electronic interface layer of the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ heterostructure with oxygen vacancies. In this model, the effective carriers are subject to oxygen vacancy induced magnetic impurities.…
Strontium titanate (SrTiO$_3$) is a foundational material in the emerging field of complex oxide electronics. While its electronic and optical properties have been studied for decades, SrTiO$_3$ has recently become a renewed materials…
Strontium titanate, SrTiO3, a widely used substrate material for electronic oxide thin film devices, has provided many interesting features. In a combination with a similar oxide material, LaAlO3, it has recently received great interest. It…
MOSFETs based on wide band-gap semiconductors are suitable for operations at high temperature, at which additional atomic-scale processes that are benign at lower temperatures can get activated which results in device degradation. Recently…
Density functional theory calculations indicate that the incorporation of V into Ti lattice positions of rutile TiO2 leads to magnetic V4+ species, but the extension and sign of the coupling between dopant moments confirm that ferromagnetic…
Enhanced conductivity at ferroelectric domain walls in BiFeO$_3$ has been widely observed, yet the microscopic origins of this effect, including electronic contributions from domain-wall defects, are incompletely understood at the atomistic…
X-ray absorption spectra of oxide systems Ba_{1-x}K_xBiO_3 and BaPbO_3 above Bi- and Pb-L3 absorption edges were investigated. It was shown that oxygen ions move in double-well potential and their oscillations are correlated with charge…
Unknown changes in the crystalline order of regular TiO$_2$ result in the formation of black titania, which has garnered significant interest as a photocatalytic material due to the accompanying electronic changes. Herein, we determine the…
Contradictory theoretical results for oxygen vacancies in SrTiO$_3$ (STO) were often related to the peculiar properties of STO, which is a $d^0$ transition metal oxide with mixed ionic-covalent bonding. Here, we apply, for the first time,…
Oxygen vacancies (OV) are pervasive in metal oxides and play a pivotal role in the switching behaviour of oxide-based memristive devices. In this work we address, through a combination of experiments and theoretical simulations, OV dynamics…
Variety of conducting heterointerfaces have been made between SrTiO3 substrates and thin capping layers of distinctly different oxide materials that can be classified into polar band insulators (e.g. LaAlO3), polar Mott insulators (e.g.…
The defect stability in a prototypical perovskite oxide superlattice consisting of SrTiO$_3$ and PbTiO$_3$ (STO/PTO) is determined using first principles density functional theory calculations. Specifically, the oxygen vacancy formation…
The oxygen vacancy is a crucial intrinsic defect in metal-ultrathin oxide semiconductor heterostructures, and its formation at an interface is of great importance in determining the device performance and degradation. This paper presents an…
We introduce a first-principles study to clarify the carrier-scattering property at the SiC/SiO$_2$. Interestingly, the electron transport at the conduction-band edge is significantly affected by the introduction of oxygen, even though…
Recent experiments on electron- or hole-doped SrTiO$_{3}$ have revealed a hitherto unknown form of superconductivity, where the Fermi energy of the paired electrons is much lower than the energies of the bosonic excitations thought to be…
The anomalous Hall effect, a hallmark of broken time-reversal symmetry and spin-orbit coupling, is frequently observed in magnetically polarized systems. Its realization in non-magnetic systems, however, remains elusive. Here, we report on…
The charge state stability of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers critically affects their application as quantum sensors and qubits. Understanding charge state conversion and equilibration is critical not only for NV centers in diamond but also…
The local electronic structure of the SrO-terminated SrTiO3(001) surface was explored using scanning tunneling microscopy. At low bias voltages in the empty states, a unidirectional structure with a periodicity of 3 unit cells, superimposed…
