A series of recent magnetooptical studies pointed to contradicting values of the s-d exchange energy N0{\alpha} in Mn-doped GaAs and GaN as well as in Fe-doped GaN. Here, a strong sensitivity of weak-localization phenomena to symmetry…

We present a theoretical study using density functional calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of 3d transition metal, noble metal and Zn atoms interacting with carbon monovacancies in graphene. We pay special…

Using {\it ab initio} total energy density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the electronic, structural and magnetic properties of Manganese doped Germanium nanowires. The nanowires have been constructed along the [110]…

Among rare-earth nitrides (RENs), gadolinium nitride (GdN) stands out as a promising material for spintronics owing to its distinctive combination of semiconducting behavior, strong exchange interactions, and intrinsically soft…

Understanding the luminescence of GaN doped with erbium (Er) requires a detailed knowledge of the interaction between the rare-earth dopant and the nitride host, including intrinsic defects and other impurities that may be present in the…

A first-principles DFT-GGA+U study of the doping of GaN with Cr, Mn, or Fe confirms a strong tendency for the formation of embedded clusters occupying Ga sites of the wurtzite and zinc blende phases of GaN. Within the employed computation…

The Gutzwiller technique has long been known as a method to include correlations in electronic structure calculations. Here we implement an ab-initio Gutzwiller+LDA calculation, and apply it to a classic problem, the ferromagnetism of bulk…

The electronic and magnetic properties of graphane with H-vacancies are investigated with the help of quantum-chemistry methods. The hybridization of the edges is found to be absolutely crucial in defining the size of the bandgap, which is…

Ferromagnetism in Mn-doped GaAs, the prototypical dilute magnetic semiconductor, has so far been attributed to hole mediated RKKY-type interactions. First-principles calculations reveal a strong direction dependence of the ferromagnetic…

Using ab initio methods based on the density functional theory, we investigate the segregation and formation energies for various dopants (Si, Be, Zn, Sn), commonly used to obtain p- or ntype conductivity in GaAs and InAs nanowires. The…

Using {\it ab initio} band structure calculations and symmetry arguments, we show that the magnetic property of Ga$_{1-x}$Gd$_x$N is drastically different from TM-doped GaN. The coupling between Gd atoms in the alloy is antiferromagnetic,…

Electronic structures, exchange interaction mechanism between magnetic ions and Curie temperature of Vanadium - doped Nitrides (AlN, GaN, and InN) are studied within KKR-LSDA-CPA. It is found that the ferromagnetic super-exchange…

Investigation of charged defects is necessary to understand the properties of semiconductors. While density functional theory calculations can accurately describe the relevant physical quantities, these calculations increase the…

GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy may contain segments of both the zincblende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) phases. Depending on the growth conditions, we find that optical emission of such NWs occurs either predominantly above…

We study energetic, magnetic, and electronic properties of diluted substitutional Mn-pairs on the reconstructed $(001)$ GaAs surfaces. The studies are based on first-principles calculations in the framework of the density functional theory.…

The electronic structures of Mn-doped zincblende GaAs and wurtzite GaN are calculated using both standard local-density functional theory (LSDA), and a novel pseudopotential self-interaction-corrected approach (pseudo-SIC), able to account…

Here we report on the effect of rare earth Gd-doping on the magnetic properties and magnetotransport of GaN two-dimensional electron gasses (2DEGs). Samples are grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy and consist of AlN/GaN…

We present the studies of magnetic properties of 2 MeV 4He+-irradiated GaN grown by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition. Particle irradiation allowed controllable introduction of Ga-vacancy in the samples. The magnetic moments with…

III-nitrides and related alloys are widely used for optoelectronics and as acoustic resonators. Ferroelectric wurtzite nitrides are of particular interest because of their potential for direct integration with Si and wide bandgap…

We report on the observation of weak localization in arrays of (Ga,Mn)As nanowires at millikelvin temperatures. The corresponding phase coherence length is typically between 100 nm and 200 nm at 20 mK. Strong spin-orbit interaction in the…
