Point defects in diamond are of high interest as candidates for realizing solid state quantum bits, bioimaging agents, or ultrasensitive electric or magnetic field sensors. Various artificial diamond synthesis methods should introduce…
We address the long-standing question of the nature of oxygen vacancies in strontium titanate, using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) to investigate in particular the effect of…
In this work, electronic structure of several doped TiO$_2$ anatase systems is computed using DFT+$U$. Effective masses of charge carriers are also computed to quantify how the dopant atoms perturb the bands of the host anatase material.…

While the effect of intrinsic defects on the electronic properties of half-Heusler compounds has been extensively discussed in literature, their effect on the lattice vibrations has received much less attention, due to the prohibitive…

Defects in the surface region of a reducible oxide, as TiO2, have a profound effect on applications, while their nature is very much influenced by the possibility of small polaron formation. Here, we probe rutile (110) and anatase (101)…
We use density functional theory (DFT) to explore the physical properties of an $Er_{ W}$ point defect in monolayer $WS_{ 2}$. Our calculations indicate that electrons localize at the dangling bonds associated with a tungsten vacancy…

Among two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), platinum diselenide (PtSe2) stands at a unique place in the sense that it undergoes a phase transition from type-II Dirac semimetal to indirect-gap semiconductor as…
Using density functional theory, we calculated the formation energy of native point defects (vacancies, interstitials and antisites) in MAX phase $Ti_2GeC$ and $Ti_3GeC_2$ compounds. Ge vacancy with formation energy of 2.87 eV was the most…
We present a tight-binding (TB) model and $\mathbf{k\cdot p}$ theory for electrons in monolayer and few-layer InSe. The model is constructed from a basis of all $s$ and $p$ valence orbitals on both indium and selenium atoms, with…
We study in-gap electronic states induced by a nonmagnetic defect with short-range potential in two-dimensional topological insulators and trace their evolution as the distance between the defect and the boundary changes. The defect located…
