The liquid-gas transition of an electroneutral mixture of oppositely charged colloids, studied by Monte Carlo simulations, is found in the low temperature -- low density region. The critical temperature shows a non-monotonous behavior as a…

We report the density-functional calculations that systematically clarify the stable forms of carbon-related defects and their energy levels in amorphous SiO$_2$ using the melt-quench technique in molecular dynamics. Considering the…

The field-effect-induced modulation of transport properties of 2-dimensional electron gases residing at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ and LaGaO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interfaces has been investigated in a back-gate configuration. Both samples with…

We use first-principles calculation within the density functional theory (DFT) to explore the electronic properties on stage-1 Li- and Li+-graphite-intercalation compounds (GIC) for different concentrations, LiCx/Li+Cx with x= 6,12,18,24,32…

In this work, we have systematically studied structural, electronic and magnetic properties of atomic scale defects in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides MX$_2$, (M = Mo and W; X = S, Se and Te) by density functional theory. Various types…

We present a detailed study of common intrinsic defects in CuInS$_2$ and CuGaS$_2$ using the Heyd, Scuseria and Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional scheme. The impact of the two HSE parameters, $\alpha$ and $\omega$ on the band gap and…

First-principles calculations within the Local Density Approximation (LDA) or Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA), though very successful, are known to underestimate redox potentials, such as those at which lithium intercalates in…

We apply hybrid density functional theory calculations to identify the formation energies and thermodynamic charge transition levels of native point defects, common impurities, and shallow dopants in BAs. We find that boron-related defects…

We have determined Li abundances in 55 metal-poor (3.6 < [Fe/H] < -0.7) stars with extreme orbital kinematics. We find the Li abundance in the Li-plateau stars and examine its decrease in low-temperature, low-mass stars. The Li observations…

In light of the recent discovery of giant electrostriction in defective fluorites, here we investigate the interplay between mechanical, electrochemical and electromechanical properties of oxygen defective ceria compositions as the effect…

Defects in 2D materials are becoming prominent candidates for quantum emitters and scalable optoelectronic applications. However, several physical properties that characterize their behavior, such as charged defect ionization energies, are…

We demonstrate a thermodynamic formulation to quantify defect formation energetics in an insulator under high electric field. As a model system, we analyzed neutral oxygen vacancies (color centers) in alkaline-earth-metal binary oxides…

The rechargeable aprotic Li-air (O2) battery is a promising potential technology for next generation energy storage, but its practical realization still faces many challenges. In contrast to the standard Li-O2 cells, which cycle via the…

Defects in cuprous oxide (Cu$_2$O) strongly influence its performance in applications ranging from photovoltaics to emerging quantum technologies based on Rydberg excitons where microscopic crystal purity is essential. Photoluminescence…

Li$_{4}$BN$_{3}$H$_{10}$ is of great interest for hydrogen storage and for lithium-ion battery solid electrolytes because of its high hydrogen content and high lithium-ion conductivity, respectively. The practical hydrogen storage…

In the present Ph.D. Thesis we report an experimental investigation on the effects of gamma- and beta-ray irradiation and of subsequent thermal treatment on many types of a-SiO2 materials, differing in the production methods, OH- and…

Inactive lithium (Li) formation is the immediate cause of capacity loss and catastrophic failure of Li metal batteries. However, the chemical component and the atomic level structure of inactive Li have rarely been studied due to the lack…

First-principles calculations are employed to explore avenues to increase the N\'eel temperature ($T_{\mathrm{N}}$) of the magnetoelectric antiferromagnet Cr$_2$O$_3$ through doping. Employing the hybrid functional method, we calculate the…
