The formation and electronic properties of nitrogen-related defect complexes in $\beta-Ga_2O_3$ are investigated using first-principles calculations. Starting from the energetically favorable $N_{i9}-N_{OI}$ configuration, nitrogen atoms…

Superconducting thin films of niobium have been extensively employed in transmon qubit architectures. Although these architectures have demonstrated remarkable improvements in recent years, further improvements in performance through…

Oxides with good p-type conductivity have been long sought after to achieve high performance all-oxide optoelectronic devices. Divalent Sn(II) based oxides are promising candidates because of their rather dispersive upper valence bands…

In tin dioxide nanostructures, oxygen vacancies (OVs) play an important role in their optical properties and thus regulation of both OV concentration and type via external strain is crucial to exploration of more applications.…

Correlated band theory is employed to investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of different arrangements of oxygen di- and tri-vacancy clusters in SrTiO$_3$. Hole and electron doping of oxygen deficient SrTiO$_3$ yields various…

Point defects in the binary group-IV monochalcogenide monolayers of SnS, SnSe, GeS, GeSe are investigated using density-functional-theory calculations. Several stable configurations are found for oxygen defects, however we give evidence…

Complex oxide functionality, such as ferroelectricity, magnetism or superconductivity is often achieved in epitaxial thin-film geometries. Oxygen vacancies tend to be the dominant type of defect in these materials but a fundamental…

Oxygen vacancy (VO) is a common native point defects that plays crucial roles in determining the physical and chemical properties of metal oxides such as ZnO. However, fundamental understanding of VO is still very sparse. Specifically,…

Dislocation core chemistry in oxides critically influences mechanical behavior and functionality; yet the evolution of core chemistry during the dislocation motion in them has not been directly observed. Here, using SrTiO3 as a model…

Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we find a strong position and thickness dependence of the formation energy of oxygen vacancies in LaAlO3|SrTiO3 (LAO|STO) multilayers and interpret this with an analytical…

The electronic structures of Sn and Pb implanted SiO2 are studied using soft X-ray absorption (XAS) and emission (XES) spectroscopy. We show, using reference compounds and ab initio calculations, that the presence of Pb-O and Sn-O…

By using DFT+U, we explore the formation of oxygen vacancies and their impact on the electronic and magnetic structure in strained bulk LaNiO3 and (LaNiO3)$_1$/(LaAlO3)$_1$(001) superlattices. For bulk LaNiO3, we find that epitaxial strain…

The dielectric breakdown at metal-oxide interfaces is a critical electronic device failure mechanism. Electronic tunneling through dielectric layers is a well-accepted explanation for this phenomenon. Theoretical band alignment studies,…

Oxygen vacancies are an important type of defect in transition metal oxides. In SrTiO$_3$ they are believed to be the main donors in an otherwise intrinsic crystal. At the same time, a relatively deep gap state associated with the vacancy…
