Undoped and Mn doped ZnO samples with different percentage of Mn content (1 mol%, 2 mol% and 3mol%) were synthesized by a simple solvo-thermal method. We have studied the structural, chemical and optical properties of the samples by using…

Although zinc oxide is a promising material for the fabrication of short wavelength optoelectronic devices, p-type doping is a step that remains challenging for the realization of diodes. Out of equilibrium methods such as ion implantation…

Achieving efficient n-type doping in AlN, a representative ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor, remains a longstanding challenge that limits its application in high-power electronics and deep-ultraviolet optoelectronics. Conventional…

An ab initio pseudopotential method based on density functional theory, generalized gradient corrections to exchange and correlation, and projector-augmented waves is used to investigate structural, energetical, electronic and optical…

Recently the point defect responsible for the intra-3$d$ luminescence of cobalt in doped ZnO samples has been indentified\,\cite{pssb2019}. In this work we further extend our investigation to other point defects in Co-doped ZnO. We use…

Wurtzite-ZnO is a wide-bandgap polar material with a ferroelectric-switching barrier that is too high to utilize, but the barrier can be reduced and switching observed in substituted materials such as Zn0.5Mg0.5O. Here, we seek to…

Silver-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully fabricated at $400\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ via a simple and rapid method based on short time solid state milling and calcination of precursor powders. The effect of Ag dilute doping on 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…

The development of $p$-type oxide semiconductors remains impeded by the inherently low-lying valence-band maximum (VBM) dominated by O-2$p$ states. A prevailing approach to mitigate this limitation is to elevate the VBM by introducing…

We demonstrate heavy and hyper doping of ZnO by a combination of gallium (Ga) ion implantation using a focused ion beam (FIB) system and post-implantation laser annealing. Ion implantation allows for the incorporation of impurities with…

Ge with a quasi-direct band gap can be realized by strain engineering, alloying with Sn, or ultrahigh n-type doping. In this work, we use all three approaches together to fabricate direct-band-gap Ge-Sn alloys. The heavily doped n-type…

We present results of a density functional theory study of MnO in the wurtzite structure. Our motivation is provided by recent experiments reporting ferromagnetism in Mn-doped wurtzite structure ZnO. We find that wurtzite MnO a) is not…

Wurtzite ZnO can be substituted with up to ~30% MgO to form a metastable ZnMgO alloy while still retaining the wurtzite structure. Because this alloy has a larger band gap than pure ZnO, ZnMgO/ZnO quantum wells and superlattices are of…

The evolution of the electronic structures of strongly correlated insulators with doping has long been a central fundamental question in condensed matter physics; it is also of great practical relevance for applications. We have studied the…

Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a solid electrolyte material with a low-conductivity tetragonal and a high-conductivity cubic phase. Using density-functional theory and variable cell shape molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the…

Structural and electronic properties of pristine and transition metal doped ZnS monolayer are investigated within the framework of density functional theory. The pristine ZnS monolayer is showing direct band gap of about 2.8 eV. The…

In this paper we present a thorough first-principles based density functional theory study of the structural stability, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of pristine and doped gallium phosphide (GaP) monolayers. The pristine GaP…

Advancement of optoelectronic and high-power devices is tied to the development of wide band gap materials with excellent transport properties. However, bipolar doping (n-type and p-type doping) and realizing high carrier density while…

A novel and direct method is proposed to assess the doping limits of semiconducting materials. Applied to the case of ZnO, our first-principles calculations demonstrate that p-type ZnO is thermodynamically unstable.

We have developed a simple, surfactant assisted synthesis route for the preparation, in gram quantities, of Co and Li doped ZnO nanocrystalline samples showing robust room temperature ferromagnetism. Our studies show that RTF is intrinsic…
