Activation of shallow acceptor state has been observed in ion irradiated and subsequently air annealed polycrystalline ZnO material. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the sample exhibits clear signature of acceptor bound…

Recent experiments on Zn-substituted 122-type iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) at electron- and hole- doped region provide us with a testing ground for understanding the effect of Zn impurities in these systems. Our first-principle…

X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy have been used to investigate the chemical states of nitrogen dopants in ZnO nanowires. It is found that nitrogen exists in…

We propose a new substitutional impurity complex in diamond composed of a lithium atom that is tetrahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen atoms (LiN_4). Density functional calculations are consistent with the hydrogenic impurity model, both…

Neutral shallow donors in zinc oxide (ZnO) are spin qubits with optical access via the donor-bound exciton. This spin-photon interface enables applications in quantum networking, memories and transduction. Essential optical parameters which…

We present a study of the charge state conversion of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects hosted in nanodiamonds (NDs). We first show that the proportion of negatively-charged NV$^{-}$ defects, with respect to its neutral counterpart…

We have derived the effective low energy Hamiltonian for Zn or Ni substituted high-T_c cuprates from microscopic three-band models consisting of the most relevant Cu or impurity 3d and O 2p orbitals. We find that both scattering potential…

First-principles density-functional calculations have been performed for zinc monochalcogenides with zinc-blende- and wurtzite-type structures. It is shown that the local-density approximation underestimates the band gap, misplaces the…

Shallow neutral donors (D$^{0}$) in ZnO have emerged as a promising candidate for solid-state spin qubits. Here, we report on the formation of D$^{0}$ in ZnO via implantation of In and subsequent annealing. The implanted In donors exhibit…

Puzzling disagreement between photoemission and optical findings in magnetically doped GaN and ZnO is explained within a generalized alloy theory. The obtained results show that the strong coupling between valence-band holes and localized…

Two deep level defects (2.25 and 2.03 eV) associated with oxygen vacancies (V$_o$) were identified in ZnO nanorods (NRs) grown by low cost chemical bath deposition. A transient behaviour in the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the two…

We have studied the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic defects in the magnetic and electrical transport properties of Co-doped ZnO thin films. X ray absorption measurements show that Co substitute Zn in the ZnO structure and it is in the…

Due to their favorable properties and high porosity, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have recently received much limelight for key technologies such as energy storage, optoelectronics, sensorics, and catalysis. Despite the widespread…

The present article describes the size induced changes in the structural arrangement of intrinsic defects present in chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles of various sizes. Routine X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron…

Atomic scale computer simulations using density functional theory were used to investigate the behaviour of tin in the tetragonal phase oxide layer on Zr-based alloys. The $Sn_{Zr}^{\times}$ site defect was shown to be dominant across most…

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…

Wide-bandgap oxides such as ZnO are favorable hosts for spin defect qubits due to their dilute nuclear spin background and potential for ultra-high purity. Yet, a deep-level defect qubit with robust optical and spin properties has not been…

We describe a method for calculating, within density functional theory, the electronic structure associated with typical defects which substitute for Cu in the CuO2 planes of high-Tc superconducting materials. The focus is primarily on…

Potential applications of Zr/Al ODS alloys vests on the irradiation stability of the Y4Zr3O12 dispersoids. Fundamental studies to identify the type of defects are important in order to recognize pathways for damage alleviation. In this…

The Zeno effect is investigated for soliton type pulses in a nonlinear directional coupler with dissipation. The effect consists in increase of the coupler transparency with increase of the dissipative losses in one of the arms. It is shown…
