Rutile Sn$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$O$_{2}$ alloys are promising materials for high-power electronic applications due to their dopability and tunable ultra-wide band gaps. We use first-principles density functional theory and statistical mechanics to…

Using an atomistic first principles approach, we investigate the band offset of the GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterojunctions for the entire range of the Al doping concentration 0<x<=1. We apply the coherent potential approach to handle the…

Vibration properties of Zn(1-x)Be(x)Se, a mixed II-VI semiconductor haracterized by a high contrast in elastic properties of its pure constituents, ZnSe and BeSe, are simulated by first-principles calculations of electronic structure,…

Utilizing three-terminal tunnel emission of ballistic electrons and holes, we have developed a method to self-consistently measure the bandgap of semiconductors and band discontinuities at semiconductor heterojunctions without any…

The biphenylene network (BPN) is a notable achievement in recent fabrication endeavors for conceiving new 2D materials. The stability of its boron nitride counterpart, BN-BPN, has been confirmed through numerical investigations. In this…

We study the molecular beam epitaxy of rock-salt ScN on the wurtzite GaN($1\bar{1}00$) surface. To this end, ScN is grown on free-standing GaN($1\bar{1}00$) substrates and self-assembled GaN nanowires that exhibit ($1\bar{1}00$) sidewalls.…

A novel method for the direct correlation at the nanoscale of structural and optical properties of single GaAs nanowires is reported. Nanowires consisting of 100% wurtzite and nanowires presenting zinc-blende/wurtzite polytypism are…

Basal-plane stacking faults are an important class of optically active structural defects in wurtzite semiconductors. The local deviation from the 2H stacking of the wurtzite matrix to a 3C zinc-blende stacking induces a bound state in the…

Both hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc blend GaN phases were synthesized in GaAs by 50 keV N+ implantation at 400 deg C and subsequent annealing at 900 deg C for 15 min in N2 ambient. Crystallographic structural and Raman scattering studies…
