The hot-wall metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), previously shown to enable superior III-nitride material quality and high performance devices, has been explored for Mg doping of GaN. We have investigated the Mg incorporation…

As the dielectric film thickness shrinks to ~10 nm, some traditional wurtzite piezoelectric materials demonstrate ferroelectricity through element doping. Among them, Sc doped AlN and Mg doped ZnO are the most famous examples. While it is…

We report Zn-doping effect in the parent and F-doped LaFeAsO oxy-arsenides. Slight Zn doping in LaFe$_{1-x}$Zn$_{x}$AsO drastically suppresses the resistivity anomaly around 150 K associated with the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin density…

A density functional study is presented of the interstitial Zn$_i$, Ge$_i$, and N$_i$ in ZnGeN$_2$. Corrections to the band gap are included by means of the LDA+U method. The Zn and Ge interstitials are both found to strongly prefer the…

We report a surfactant assisted synthesis of Mn doped ZnO polycrystalline samples showing robust room temperature ferromagnetism as characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Electron Paramagnetic…

The role of Cr incorporation into the ZnO were probed through investigations into the structural, optical and magnetic properties. Zn1-xCrxO with x = 0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05, nanoparticles were prepared by solution combustion method. Powder…

Deuterium diffusion is investigated in nitrogen-doped homoepitaxial ZnO layers. The samples were grown under slightly Zn-rich growth conditions by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on m-plane ZnO substrates and have a nitrogen content…

We report a detailed first-principles study of doping in Li$_2$MnO$_3$, in both the dilute doping limit and heavy doping, using hybrid density-functional calculations. We find that Al, Fe, Mo, and Ru impurities are energetically most…

We synthesized strontium titanate SrTiO$_3$ (STO), Zr doped $\text{Sr}_\text{1-x}\text{Zr}_\text{x}\text{Ti}\text{O}_3$ and (Zr, Ni) co-doped $\text{Sr}_\text{1-x}\text{Zr}_\text{x}\text{Ti}_\text{1-y}\text{Ni}_\text{y}\text{O}_3$ samples…

The $s,p-d$ exchange coupling between the spins of band carriers and of transition metal (TM) dopants ranging from Ti to Cu in ZnO is studied within the density functional theory. The $+U$ corrections are included to reproduce the…

We report the successful synthesis of ZnO:Cu thin films doped with holes, resulting in room temperature ferromagnetism. Hole doping is achieved by As-diffusion from the GaAs substrate into ZnO films, assisted by thermal annealing. The…

In2O3 is a prototype wide-band-gap semiconductor that exhibits metallic conductivity when highly doped with Sn while retaining a high degree of transparency to visible light. It is widely used as a transparent window/electrode in solar…

We study the Li interstitial diffusion in pristine and defective ZnO bulk by means of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) coupled with Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) calculations. We consider three types of point defects, i.e.,…

Point defects in Ga- and Al-doped ZnO thin films are studied by means of first principles electronic structure calculations. Candidate defects are identified to explain recently observed differences in electrical and spectroscopical…

Single phase Mn doped (2 at %) ZnO samples have been synthesized by solid-state reaction technique. Before the final sintering at 500 C, the mixed powders have been milled for different milling periods (6, 24, 48 and 96 hours). The grain…

Density functional calculations are carried out to understand and tailor the electrochemical profile diffusivity, band gap and open circuit voltage of transition metal doped olivine phosphate $LiFe_{1-x}M_{x}PO_{4}$ (M = V, Cr, Mn, Co and…

Effect of doping on the carrier-phonon interaction in wurtzite GaN is investigated by pump-probe reflectivity measurements using 3.1 eV light in near resonance with the fundamental band gap of 3.39 eV. Coherent modulations of the…

High spin states of cation vacancies in GaP, GaN, AlN, BN, ZnO and BeO were analyzed by first principles calculations. The spin-polarized vacancy-induced level is located in the band gap in GaP, ZnO and BeO. In the nitrides, the stronger…

Using the hybrid exchange-correlation functional within the density-functional theory, we have systematically investigated the structural and electronic properties of MO (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd) in binary rocksalt (B1), zincblende…

Polar metals are rare because free carriers in metals screen electrostatic potential and eliminate internal dipoles. Degenerate doped ferroelectrics may create an approximate polar metallic phase. We use first-principles calculations to…
