The structural, electronic, and optical properties of metal (Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) mono- and co-doped anatase TiO$_{2}$ nanotubes are investigated, in order to elucidate their potential for photocatalytic applications. It is found that Si…
Only recently, the activation of oxygen molecules on clean defect-free transition metal oxide surfaces has been reported, for example on the CaO-terminated surface of the Ruddelsden-Popper perovskite \crosurf. In this work we show that…
The photomolecular effect has been hypothesized to enhance evaporation of water at visible wavelengths. This study develops a measurement technique to investigate its presence and magnitude at the liquid-vapor interface of water. The…
The integration of two-dimensional (2D) periodic nanopattern defined by nanoimprint lithography and dry etching into aluminum induced crystallization (AIC) based polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si) thin film solar cells is investigated…
This work describes the elaboration of rutile titanium dioxide films with high refractive indices and low scattering by sol-gel process and controlled crystallization. The evolutions of the optical properties and crystalline structure of…
Our study of the adsorption of oxygen molecules on individual semiconductiong single-walled carbon nanotubes at ambient conditions reveals that the adsorption is physisorption, that the resistance without O2 increases by ~two orders of…
The optical properties of thermally annealed TiO2 samples depend on their preparation process, and the TiO2 thin films usually exist in the form of anatase or rutile or the mixture of the two phases. The electronic structures and optical…
Here we report on a novel chemical route to synthesize homogenous cobalt doped titanate nanotubes (CoTNT), using an amorphous Co-doped precursor. The influence of the synthesis temperature, autoclave dwell time and metal doping on the…
CO$_2$ is a major component of the icy mantles surrounding dust grains in planet and star formation regions. Understanding its photodesorption is crucial for explaining gas phase abundances in the coldest environments of the interstellar…
The electronic properties of TiO$_2$ nanostructure are explored using density functional theory. The adsorption properties of acetone on TiO$_2$ nanostructure are studied in terms of adsorption energy, average energy gap variation and…
Submicron core/shell Ti/TiOx photocatalyst is successfully synthesized via single-mode magnetic microwave (SMMW) assisted direct oxidation of planetary ball-milled TiH2. The thickness of TiOx shell including highly concentrated defects such…
Thin TiO2 films on quartz substrates were prepared by spin coating of undoped and metal-ion-doped Sol Gel precursors. These films were characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Laser Raman Microspectroscopy, Xray Diffraction and UV Vis…
Topological insulators (TIs) are a class of materials characterized by an insulting bulk and high mobility topologically protected surface states, making them promising candidates for future optoelectronic and quantum devices. Although…
Electronic structures and optical properties of C-N-codoped anatase TiO2 were calculated by using GGA+U method based on the density functional theory. The calculated results showed that the N-doped, C-doped, and C-N-codoped TiO2 produced 2p…
TiO2 is a technologically important material. In particular, its anatase polymorph plays a major role in photocatalysis, which can also accommodate charged and neutral vacancies. There is, however, scant theoretical work on the vacancy…
Vanadium dioxide undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) from an insulating (monoclinic) to a metallic (tetragonal) phase close to room temperature, which makes it a promising functional material for many applications, e.g. as chemical…
We present self-consistent ab-initio total-energy and electronic-structure calculations on stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric TiO2 (110) surfaces. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) topographs are simulated by calculating the local…
The surface of thin-film solar cells can be tailored with photonic nanostructures to allow light trapping in the absorbing medium. This in turn increases the optical thickness of the film and thus enhances their absorption. Such a coherent…
Titanium dioxide is a photocatalytic substance of great practical importance. However, with its bandgap in the ultraviolet (UV) regime, native forms (undoped) of TiO2 generally exhibits poor photocatalytic activities under visible light.…
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…
