The formation and electronic properties of nitrogen-related defect complexes in $\beta-Ga_2O_3$ are investigated using first-principles calculations. Starting from the energetically favorable $N_{i9}-N_{OI}$ configuration, nitrogen atoms…

The stable and metastable configurations of interstitial Mg in GaN and its migration energy barriers are studied from first-principles calculations. In addition to the conventional octahedral (O, global energy minimum) and tetrahedral (T,…

Using first-principles calculations, we explored all the 21 defect-pairs in GaN and considered 6 configurations with different defect-defect distances for each defect-pair. 15 defect-pairs with short defect-defect distances are found to be…

We consider hypothetical Ga7MnAs8, Ga16MnAs16, and Ga14Mn3As16 crystals with Mn in a substitutional, interstitial, and both positions. Spin-polarized FPLAPW calculations were used to obtain their electronic structure. We show that the…

A Gallium interstitial defect (Ga$_{\textrm{i}}$) is thought to be responsible for the spectacular spin-dependent recombination (SDR) in GaAs$_{1-x}$N$_x$ dilute nitride semiconductors. Current understanding associates this defect with two…

Cation site disorder provides a degree of freedom in the growth of ternary nitrides for tuning the technologically relevant properties of a material system. For example, the band gap of ZnGeN$_2$ changes when the ordering of the structure…

A study based on density functional theory calculations was performed for the three charge states of interstitial hydrogen in Yttria. The present calculations were carried out by employing the GGA-PBE and the HSE06 exchange-correlation…

Hybrid functionals and empirical correction schemes are compared to conventional semi-local density functional theory (DFT) calculations in order to assess the predictive power of these methods concerning the formation energy and the charge…

The recently reported Rutherford backscattering and particle-induced X-ray emission experiments have revealed that in low-temperature MBE grown GaMnAs a significant part of the incorporated Mn atoms occupies tetrahedral interstitial sites…

A predicted type-II staggered band alignment with an approximately $1.4 eV$ valence band offset at the $ZnGeN_2/GaN$ heterointerface has inspired novel band-engineered $III-N/ZnGeN_2$ heterostructure-based device designs for applications in…

We perform hybrid-density functional calculations to investigate the charged defect formation energy of native point defects in $Mg_2 Si$, $Mg_2 Sn$, and their solid solutions. The band gap correction by hybrid-density functional is found…

Using density functional theory, we calculated the formation energy of native point defects (vacancies, interstitials and antisites) in MAX phase $Ti_2GeC$ and $Ti_3GeC_2$ compounds. Ge vacancy with formation energy of 2.87 eV was the most…

Using hybrid density functional theory, we address point defects susceptible to cause charge compensation upon Mg doping of GaN. We determine the free energy of formation of the nitrogen vacancy and of several Mg-related defects. The…

We have investigated the effects of hydrostatic pressure and compressive biaxial strain on the $\Gamma$-point energy states of GaN and InN with zincblende crystal structure via first-principles DFT+HSE06 computation. To correctly reproduce…

We have performed accurate \emph{ab--initio} pseudopotential calculations for the structural and electronic properties of ZnSe/GaAs(001) heterostructures with interface configurations accounting for charge neutrality prescriptions. Beside…

Based on a two-orbit four-band tight binding model, we investigate the low-lying electronic states around the interstitial excess Fe ions in the iron-based superconductors by using T-matrix approach. It is shown that the local density of…

We use the self-interaction corrected local spin-density approximation to investigate the ground state valency configuration of transition metal (TM = Mn, Co) impurities in n- and p-type ZnO. We find that in pure Zn1-xTMxO, the localized…

The hydrogen interstitial and the substitutional Al_Zn, Ga_Zn and In_Zn are all shallow donors in ZnO and lead to n-type conductivity. Although shallow donors are expected to repel each other, we show by first principles calculations that…

From state-of-the-art density-functional calculations using hybrid functionals we show that, persistent $n$-type conductivity in ZnO is due to defect complexes formed between H with intrinsic and extrinsic defects. H exhibits cationic,…

We combined optical spectroscopy and first principles electronic structure calculations to reveal the charge gap in the polar magnet Fe$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$. Iron occupation on the octahedral site draws the gap strongly downward compared to the…
