Wadsley-Roth (WR) niobates have emerged as high-rate anode materials that can combine rapid ionic diffusion with good electronic conductivity. WR compounds have been defect-enhanced by limited annealing, however, such materials often…

Based on ab initio calculations, we examine the incorporation of Li atoms in the MoS2/graphene interface. We find that the intercalated Li atoms are energetically more stable than Li atoms adsorbed on the MoS2 surface. The intercalated…

During many of its applications (especially as a catalyst support material), MoO3 acts as a medium for hydrogen storage via hydrogen spillover (H atom donation from proton and electron sources to a support), for which the energetics of H…

The studies of the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) coupled with photoactive particles, plasmonic nanocavities, waveguides, and metamaterials remain in their infancy. This study investigates…

We present a systematic study on the stability and the structural and electronic properties of mixed molybdenum-niobium disulphides. Using density functional theory we investigate bilateral doping with up to 25 % of MoS2 (NbS2) by Nb (Mo)…

In the layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ the Nb$^{3+}$ ($4d^2$) ion is trigonal-prismatically coordinated with O ions, with the resulting crystal field leading to a single band system for low energy properties. A tight-binding…

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…

Oxide heterojunctions made of p-type L0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSMO) and niobium-doped n-type SrTiO3 (STO:Nb) have been fabricated by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique and are characterized under UV light irradiation by measuring the…

Layered molecular materials and especially MoS2 are already accepted as promising candidates for nanoelectronics. In contrast to the bulk material, the observed electron mobility in single-layer MoS2 is unexpectedly low. Here we reveal the…

The electronic properties of polycrystalline lead oxide consisting of a network of single-crystalline $\alpha$-PbO platelets and the formation of the native point defects in $\alpha$-PbO crystal lattice are studied using first principles…

We characterize the optical coherence and energy-level properties of the 795 nm $^3$H$_6$ to $^3$H$_4$ transition of Tm$^{3+}$ in a Ti$^{4+}$:LiNbO$_{3}$ waveguide at temperatures as low as 0.65 K. Coherence properties are measured with…

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…

In this study, we employ first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the electrochemical properties of Nb2C and Nb2CO2 MXenes as potential anode materials for sodium-ion (SIBs) and lithium-ion batteries…

Doping lithium-ion battery electrode materials LiMO$_2$ (M = Co, Ni, Mn) with impurities has been shown to be an effective way to optimize their electrochemical properties. Here, we report a detailed first-principles study of layered oxides…

As a storage material for Li-ion batteries, graphene/molybdenum disulfide (Gr/MoS2) composites have been intensively studied in experiments. But the relevant theoretical works from first-principles are lacking. In the current work,…

Polarons play a major role in the description of optical, electrical and dielectrical properties of several ferroelectric oxides. The motion of those particles occur by elementary hops among the material lattice sites. In order to compute…

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…

Modulating electronic structure of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is important for many applications and doping is an effective way towards this goal, yet is challenging to control. Here we report the in-situ…

We report the optical and dielectric properties in hafnium (Hf)-doped lithium niobate (LN) crystals. We investigated samples of congruent composition with various doping concentration varying from 0 to 8 mol%. The clamped and unclamped…

Few- and single-layer MoS2 host substantial densities of defects. They are thought to influence the doping level, the crystal structure, and the binding of electron-hole pairs. We disentangle the concomitant spectroscopic expression of all…
