We present a unified band structure model to explain magnetic ordering in Mn-doped semiconductors. This model is based on the $p$-$d$ and $d$-$d$ level repulsions between the Mn ions and host elements and can successfully explain magnetic…
The structure of superconducting order parameter near the surface of a two-band superconductor with $s_{\pm}$ order parameter in the bulk is theoretically investigated. The main parameter of the surface, which determines the appropriate…
P-type doped CdTe free surfaces Schottky contacts, and even interfaces with isostructural p-ZnTe frequently exhibit downward band bending and moderate to high recombination velocities. Fermi level pinning by donor-like states can explain…
The negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect has been found generally combined with structural phase transitions. However, the charge and orbital freedoms of the NTE has not been well studied. This study employs angle-resolved photoemission…
Condensed matter systems with flat bands close to the Fermi level generally exhibit, due to their very large density of states, extraordinary high critical ordering temperatures of symmetry breaking orders, such as superconductivity and…
We calculate the theoretical contribution to the doping and temperature ($T$) dependence of electrical resistivity due to scattering by acoustic phonons in Bernal bilayer graphene (BBG) and rhombohedral trilayer graphene (RTG). We focus on…
Artificial electronic lattices, created atom by atom in a scanning tunneling microscope, have emerged as a highly tunable platform to realize and characterize the lowest-energy bands of novel lattice geometries. Here, we show that…
Topological insulators are a class of band insulators with non-trivial topology, a result of band inversion due to the strong spin-orbit coupling. The transition between topological and normal insulator can be realized by tuning the…
Solid-oxide fuel cells produce electric current from energy released by a spontaneous electrochemical reaction. The efficiency of these devices depends crucially on the microstructure of their electrodes and, in particular, on the…
The type I superconductor lead (Pb) has been theoretically predicted to be a two-band superconductor. We use scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) to resolve two superconducting gaps with an energy difference of 150$\,\mu$eV. Tunneling into…
ARPES experiments on iron based superconductors show that the differences between the measured and calculated electronic band structures look insignificant but can be crucial for understanding of the mechanism of high temperature…
We report on the Pt doping effect on surface and electronic structure in Ir$_{\mathrm{1-x}}$Pt$_{\mathrm{x}}$Te$_ {\mathrm{2}}$ by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). The surface prepared by cleavage at 4.2 K shows a…
The electronic structure of Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Te is studied by using the relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method in the framework of density functional theory. For all concentrations $x$, Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Te is a direct…
In the present work we report the band structure calculations for the high temperature superconductor Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ in the regime of strong electronic correlations within an LDA+GTB method, which combines the local density…
By band engineering the iron chalcogenide Fe(Se,Te) via ab-initio calculations, we search for topological surface states and realizations of Majorana bound states. Proposed topological states are expected to occur for non-stoichiometric…
The interplay of structural and electronic phases in iron-based superconductors is a central theme in the search for the superconducting pairing mechanism. While electronic nematicity, defined as the breaking of four-fold symmetry triggered…
The interplay between non-trivial band topology and strong electronic correlations is a central challenge in modern condensed matter physics. We investigate this competition on a two-leg ladder model with a p-wave-like hybridisation between…
We demonstrate experimentally a chemical codoping approach that would simultaneously narrow the band gap and control the band edge positions of oxide semiconductors. Using TiO2 as an example, we show that a sequential doping scheme with…
We consider a model of multiband superconductivity, inspired by iron pnictides, in which three bands are connected via repulsive pair-scattering terms. Generically, three distinct superconducting states arise within such a model. Two of…
We present our angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory results on quaternary topological insulator (TI) BiSbTe1.25Se1.75 (BSTS) confirming the non-trivial topology of the surface state bands (SSBs) in…
