We investigate the native point defects in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) detector material Hg$_{0.75}$Cd$_{0.25}$Te using a dielectric-dependent hybrid density functional combined with spin-orbit coupling. Characterizing these point…

In our recent experimental work (Appl. Phys. Lett. 125, 122109 (2024)), we observed that crystalline Si$_3$N$_4$ cap layers a few nanometers thick can form in situ on GaN surfaces. Compared with amorphous SiO$_2$ and Al$_2$O$_3$ caps, these…

We report an ab initio study of the semiconducting Mg2X (with X = Si, Ge) compounds and in particular we analyze the formation energy of the different point defects with the aim to understand the intrinsic doping mechanisms. We find that…

We present a method for the determination of the local concentrations of interstitial and substitutional Mn atoms and As antisite defects in GaMnAs. The method relies on the sensitivity of the structure factors of weak reflections to the…

By studying Fe-doped ZnO pellets and thin films with various x-ray spectroscopic techniques, and complementing this with density functional theory calculations, we find that Fe-doping in bulk ZnO induces isovalent (and isostructural) cation…

We investigate the possibility that Hf defects exist in the Si channel of HfO2 Si-based metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. We have studied, using ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations, substitutional and interstitial Hf…

V-pit-defects in GaN-based light-emitting diodes induced by dislocations are considered beneficial to electroluminescence because they relax the strain in InGaN quantum wells and also enhance the hole lateral injection through sidewall of…

Among numerous hypotheses, recently proposed to explain superconductivity in iron-based superconductors [1-9], many consider Fermi surface (FS) nesting [2, 4, 8, 10] and dimensionality [4, 9] as important contributors. Precise determination…

The results of first-principles electronic structure calculations for the nitrogen-rich nickel nitrides $ {\rm NiN} $ and $ {\rm Ni_2N} $ are presented. The calculations are based on density functional theory and used the generalized…

To reduce the prominent VOC-deficit that limits kesterite-based solar cells efficiencies, Ge has been proposed over the recent years with encouraging results, as the reduction of the non-radiative recombination rate is considered as a way…

We have studied the electronic structure of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$N ($x$ = 0.0, 0.02 and 0.042) grown on Sn-doped $n$-type GaN using photoemission and soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Mn $L$-edge x-ray…

Zn in GaN forms an efficient radiative center and acts as a deep acceptor which can make the crystal insulating. Four different Zn-related centers have been by now identified, leading to light emission in the range between 1.8 eV and 2.9…

A computational study of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) $g$-tensors and hyperfine tensors in Mg and Zn doped $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is presented. While Mg has been found previously to prefer the octahedral site, we find here that Zn…

We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)N nanocrystals using the density functional theory. We study both wurtzite and zinc-blende structures doped with one or two substitutional Mn impurities. For a single Mn dopant…

We performed density-functional calculations to investigate the electronic structure of ZnO/GaN core/shell heterostructured nanowires (NWs) orientating along <0001> direction. The build-in electric filed arising from the charge…

The electronic band structure of Ga(PAsN) with a few percent of nitrogen is calculated in the whole composition of Ga(PAs) host using the state-of-the-art density functional methods including the modified Becke-Johnson functional to…

First-principles calculations of substitutional defects and vacancies are performed for zigzag-edged hybrid C/BN nanosheets and nanotubes which recently have been proposed to exhibit half-metallic properties. The formation energies show…

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…

First-principles density functional simulations were employed to investigate the geometries, electrical properties, and hyperfine structures of various beryllium-doped diamond configurations, including interstitial (Be$_i$), substitutional…

We present a first-principles investigation of the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the pristine and Fe-doped $\alpha$-MnO$_2$ using density-functional theory with extended Hubbard functionals. The onsite $U$ and intersite…
