This study investigates the novelty of the crystalline and electronic structure of (Mg,Ti)-doped ZnO and the co-doped Zn1-x-yMgxTiyO structures using Gaussian and plane-wave basis sets, as implemented in the CP2K code. The goal of…

In semiconducting materials, electrostatic gating and light illumination are widely used stimuli to tune the electronic properties of the system. Here, we show a significant enhancement of photoresponse at the conducting interface of…

Sn$_{0.97-y}$Co$_{0.03}$Ni$_{y}$O$_{2}$ (0 $\leq y \leq$ 0.04) nanocrystals, with average crystallite size in the range of 7.3 nm ($y$=0.00) to 5.6 nm ($y$=0.04), have been synthesized using pH-controlled chemical co-precipitation…

The electronic properties of epitaxial heterojunctions consisting of the prototypical perovskite oxide semiconductor,n-SrTiO3 and the high-mobility Group IV semiconductor p-Ge have been investigated. Hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy…

Epitaxial thin films of SrTiO$_3$(100) doped with 6% and 12% Ni are studied with resonant angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) at the Ti and Ni L2,3-edges. We find that the Ni doping shifts the valence band (VB) of pristine…

We perform first-principles calculations to investigate the band structure, density of states, optical absorption, and the imaginary part of dielectric function of Cu, Ag, and Au-doped anatase TiO2 in 72 atoms systems. The electronic…

We show that the HF acid etch commonly used to prepare SrTiO3(001) for heteroepitaxial growth of complex oxides results in a non-negligible level of F doping within the terminal surface layer of TiO2. Using a combination of x-ray…

Experimental studies of Zn1-xCoxO as thin films or nanocrystals have found ferromagnetism and Curie temperatures above room temperature and that p- or n-type doping of Zn1-xCoxO can change its magnetic state. Bulk Zn1-xCoxO with a low…

In this study, we report on investigations of the electronic structure of SrTiO$_3$ annealed at temperature ranging between 550 and 840$^\circ$C in an ultrahigh vacuum. Annealing induced oxygen vacancies (O$_{vac}$) impart considerable…

Among the wide bandgap semiconductors, TiO$_{2}$ is the highly stable and cost-efficient semiconductor used for the different photocatalysis processes like water splitting, chemical waste degradation, anti-micro bacterial activities, and…

We use a combination of conventional density functional theory (DFT) and post-DFT methods, including the local density approximation plus Hubbard $U$ (LDA+$U$), PBE0, and self-consistent $GW$ to study the electronic properties of…

Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) codoped with V and N were synthesized by electrochemical anodization in association with hydrothermal treatment. The samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray…

Electrical transport of a polar heterointerface between two insulating perovskites, KTaO3 and SrTiO3, is studied. It is formed between a thin KTaO3 film deposited on a top of TiO2- terminated (100) SrTiO3 substrate. The resulting…

Band engineering is employed thoroughly and targets technologically scalable photoanodes for solar water splitting applications. Complex and costly recipes are necessary, often for average performances. Here we report simple photoanode…

The mineral sphalerite (ZnS) is a typical constituent at the periphery of submarine hydrothermal deposits on Earth. It has been frequently suggested to have played an important role in the prebiotic chemistry due to its prominent…

The electronic, thermal and optical properties of a monolayer BeO with Boron (B) and Nitrogen (N) co-dopant atoms are studied by means of a density functional theory computation. Our calculations reveal that BeO with BN-codopant atoms can…

Strontium titanate SrTiO$_3$ is one of the most studied and paradigmatic transition metal oxides. Recently, a breakthrough has been achieved with the fabrication of freestanding SrTiO$_3$ ultrathin films down to the monolayer limit.…

Single crystals of the perovskite-type $3d^{1}$ metallic alloy system Ca$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$VO$_3$ were synthesized in order to investigate metallic properties near the Mott transition. The substitution of a Ca$^{2+}$ ion for a Sr$^{2+}$ ion…
