We investigate the native defects, the Mo substitutional impurities of the group-VB and -VIIB elements, and the S substitutional impurities of the group-VA and -VIIA elements in single-layer MoS2, through density-functional theory…

\textit{Ab-initio} calculations based on density functional theory with local spin density approximation are used to study defects-driven magnetism in bulk $\alpha$-Li$ _{3}$N. Our calculations show that bulk Li$ _{3} $N is a non-magnetic…

We study the electronic and local structural properties of pure and In-substituted $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ using density functional theory (DFT). Our main result is that the structural energetics of In in Ga$_2$O$_3$ causes most sites to be…

Defects are crucial in determining a variety of material properties especially in low dimensions. In this work, we study point defects in monolayer alpha-phase Ruthenium (III) chloride (alpha-RuCl3), a promising candidate to realize quantum…

By using high-quality single crystals, we quantitatively compare the transport properties between LiFeAs and LiFeP superconductors with compensated electron and hole carriers. The low-temperature resistivity follows the Fermi-liquid $AT^2$…

Defects on surfaces of semiconductors have a strong effect on their reactivity and catalytic properties. The concentration of different charge states of defects is determined by their formation energies. First-principles calculations are an…

The presence of a point defect typically breaks the stoichiometry in a semiconductor. For example, a vacancy on an A-site in an AB compound makes the crystal B-rich. As the stoichiometry changes, so do the chemical potentials. While the…

LiV_2 O_4 is one of the most puzzling compounds among transition metal oxides because of its heavy fermion like behavior at low temperatures. In this paper we present results for the orbital state and magnetic properties of LiV_2 O_4…

The applied potential governs lithium-intercalation and electrode passivation reactions in lithium ion batteries, but are challenging to calibrate in condensed phase DFT calculations. In this work, the "anode potential" of charge-neutral…

We have investigated the role of transition metal impurities and oxygen vacancies in the formation of ferromagnetism in Co-doped TiO2 using LSDA+U approach which takes into account strong on-cite Coulomb correlations for electronic…

Based on ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the low temperature crystal structure of Li2NH which in spite of its great interest as H-storage material is still matter of debate. The dynamical simulations reveal a…

The dependence of the electrical conductivity on the oxygen partial pressure is calculated for the prototypical perovskite $\Ba\Ti\O_3$ based on data obtained from first-principles calculations within density functional theory. The…

Using first-principles method within the framework of the density functional theory, we study the influence of native point defect on the structural and electronic properties of Bi$_2$Se$_3$. Se vacancy in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is a double donor,…

Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates…

The increasing relevance of energy storage technologies demands high-capacity cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Recently, Li-rich defect anti-fluorite Li$_5$FeO$_4$ has emerged as a high-capacity cathode material exhibiting…

The low symmetry of monoclinic $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ leads to elaborate intrinsic defects, such as Ga vacancies split amongst multiple lattice sites. These defects contribute to fast, anisotropic Ga diffusion, yet their complexity makes it…

Oxygen is the most common unintentional impurity found in GaN. We study the interaction between substitutional oxygen (ON) and the gallium vacancy (VGa) to form a point defect complex in GaN. The formation energy of the gallium vacancy is…

This work provides a theoretical exploration of the thermodynamic stability and magnetic behaviour of previously unknown ternary Li AgII F compounds. Convex-hull analysis shows that all predicted structures lie slightly above the LiF plus…

An extensive search for low-energy lithium defects in crystalline silicon using density-functional-theory methods and the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method shows that the four-lithium-atom substitutional point defect is…

Point defects in crystalline materials often occur in multiple charge states. Although many experimental methods to study and explore point defects are available, techniques to explore the non-equilibrium dynamics of the charge states of…
