We perform full-potential screened-hybrid density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to compare the thermodynamic stability of neutral and charged states of the surface oxygen vacancy at the rutile TiO$_2$(110) surface. Solid-state…

Oxygen-deficient TiO$_2$ in the rutile structure as well as the Ti$_3$O$_5$ Magn{\'e}li phase is investigated within the charge self-consistent combination of density functional theory (DFT) with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). It is…

We studied the oxygen vacancies($V_{O}$) in rutile TiO2 by using $G_0W_0$ approximation on top of GGA+$U$ as a method of choice to improve the gap. Since there is no extensive agreement regarding the characteristic of electron localization…

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…

We investigate the behavior of oxygen vacancies in three different metal-oxide semiconductors (rutile and anatase TiO2, monoclinic WO3, and tetragonal ZrO2) using a recently proposed hybrid density-functional method in which the fraction of…

We address the long-standing question of the nature of oxygen vacancies in strontium titanate, using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) to investigate in particular the effect of…

There have existed for a long time a paradigm that TiO phases at ambient conditions are stable only if structural vacancies are available. Using an evolutionary algorithm, we perform an ab initio search of possible zero-temperature…

Extrinsic levels, formation energies, and relaxation geometries are calculated ab initio for oxygen vacancies in alpha-quartz SiO2. The vacancy is found to be thermodynamically stable in the charge states Q=+3, Q=0, Q=--2, and Q=-3. The…

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of defect levels in semiconductors based on approximate functionals are subject to considerable uncertainties, in particular due to inaccurate band gap energies. Testing previous correction…

Cubic hafnia (HfO$_2$) is of great interest for a number of applications in electronics because of its high dielectric constant. However, common defects in such applications degrade the properties of hafina. We have investigated the…

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…

We calculate the quasiparticle defect states and charge transition levels of oxygen vacancies in monoclinic hafnia. The charge transition levels, although they are thermodynamic quantities, can be critically dependent on the band gap owing…

Oxygen vacancies are ubiquitous in TiO$_2$ and play key roles in catalysis and magnetism applications.Despite being extensively investigated, the electronic structure of oxygen vacancies in TiO$_2$ remains controversial both experimentally…

Defects in semiconductors can exhibit multiple charge states, which can be used for charge storage applications. Here we consider such charge storage in a series of oxygen deficient phases of TiO$_2$, known as Magn\'eli phases. These…

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…

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 oxidation state of titanium in titanium dioxide is commonly assumed to be +4. This assumption is used ubiquitously to rationalize phenomena observed with TiO2. We present a comprehensive electronic structure investigation of Ti ions,…

Quasiparticle excitation energies and optical properties of TiO$_{2}$ in the rutile and anatase structures are calculated using many-body perturbation theory methods. Calculations are performed for a frozen crystal lattice; electron-phonon…

Using density-functional theory (DFT) we calculate the Gibbs free energy to determine the lowest-energy structure of a RuO_2(110) surface in thermodynamic equilibrium with an oxygen-rich environment. The traditionally assumed stoichiometric…

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,…
