We perform first-principles band structure calculations for the tetragonal and monoclinic structures of LaO$_{0.5}$F$_{0.5}$BiS$_2$. We find that the Bi $6p_{x,y}$ bands on two BiS$_2$ layers exhibit a sizable splitting at the X = ($\pi$,…

We report pure carbon-based superlattices that exhibit direct band gaps and excellent optical absorption and emission properties at the threshold energy. The structures are nearly identical to that of cubic diamond except that defective…

In a theoretical study we investigate the electronic structure and the band gap of the inverse spinel ferrite NiFe2O4. The experimental optical absorption spectrum is accurately reproduced by fitting the Tran-Blaha parameter in the modified…

We performed an extensive investigation on the correlations among superconductivity, structural instability and band filling in Nb1-xB2 materials. Structural measurements reveal that a notable phase transformation occurs at x=0.2,…

We have investigated the crystal structure of LaOBiPbS3 using neutron diffraction and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. From structural refinements, we found that the two metal sites, occupied by Bi and Pb, were differently surrounded by the…

In$_2$Se$_3$ in the three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal crystal structure with space group $P6_1$ ($\gamma$-In$_2$Se$_3$) has a direct band gap of $\sim$1.8 eV and high absorption coefficient, making it a promising semiconductor material for…

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide band gap semiconducting material which is promising for photocatalysis. Here we present first-principles calculations to study the pressure dependence of structural and electronic properties of two TiO2…

Beta-BaZn2As2 is known to be a p-type semiconductor with the layered crystal structure similar to that of LaZnAsO, leading to the expectation that beta-BaZn2As2 and LaZnAsO have similar bandgaps; however, the bandgap of beta-BaZn2As2…

A combined experimental and theoretical study of very-low-energy electron diffraction at the (0001) surface of 2H-NbSe2 is presented. Electron transmission spectra have been measured for energies up to 50 eV above the Fermi level with k||…

The temperature dependence of the complex optical properties of the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi2Te2Se is reported for light polarized in the a-b planes at ambient pressure, as well as the effects of pressure at room…

Ferroelectrics with suitable band gaps have recently attracted attention as candidate solar absorbing materials for photovoltaics. The inversion symmetry breaking may promote the separation of photo-excited carriers and allow voltages…

Two-dimensional (2D) WS2 films were deposited on SiO2 wafers, and the related interfacial properties were investigated by high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and first-principles calculations. Using the direct (indirect)…

Using spectroscopic ellipsometry, the refractive index and absorption versus wavelength of the ferroelectric antiferromagnet Bismuth Ferrite, BiFeO_3 is reported. The material has a direct band-gap at 442 nm wavelength (2.81 eV). Using…

The optical response functions and band structures of LiCoO$_2$ are studied at different levels of approximation, from density functional theory (DFT) in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to quasiparticle self-consistent QS$GW$…

It has been recently claimed that bulk crystals of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) ReS$_2$ are direct band gap semiconductors, which would make this material an ideal candidate, among all TMDs, for the realization of efficient…

The superconducting gap of MgB2 has been studied by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The momentum(k)-resolving capability of ARPES enables us to identify the s- and p-orbital derived bands predicted from…

We use microprobe Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (muARPES) to separately investigate the electronic properties of CuO2 planes and CuO chains in the high temperature superconductor, YBa2Cu4O8. In the CuO2 planes, a two dimensional…
