Chemical nature of point defects, their segregation, cluster or complex formation in ZnO is an important area of investigation. In this report, 1.2 MeV Ar ion beam is used to incorporate defects in granular ZnO. Evolution of defective state…
In this work an overall electronic structure including the position and formation energies of various intrinsic defects are computed for anatase using Density Functional Theory aided by Hubbard correction (DFT+U). The intrinsic point…
The article describes an experimental method that allows to estimate the inhomogeneous and homogeneous linewidths of the photoluminescence band of a point defect in an amorphous solid. We performed low temperature time-resolved luminescence…
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) based materials are widely used in many applications. Yet, due to a lack of detailed knowledge of defect energy levels, the electrical properties and luminescence mechanisms in the materials still give rise to debate.…
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,…
We report interesting observations in 1.2 MeV Ar8+ ion irradiated ZnO which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been published earlier and will be useful for the scientific community engaged in research on ZnO. Irradiation with the…
The relationship between the luminescence at 1.9 eV and the absorption bands at 2.0 eV and at 4.8 eV were investigated in a wide variety of synthetic silica samples exposed to different gamma- and beta-ray irradiation doses. We found that…
Achieving efficient and stable ultraviolet emission is a challenging goal in optoelectronic devices. Herein, we investigate the UV luminescence of zinc germanate Zn2GeO4 microwires by means of photoluminescence measurements as a function of…
Tuning the opto-electronic properties through alloying is essential for semiconductor technology. Currently, mostly isovalent and isostructural alloys are used (e.g., group-IV and III-V), but a vast and unexplored space of novel functional…
We present a theoretical study of broadening of defect luminescence bands due to vibronic coupling. Numerical proof is provided for the commonly used assumption that a multi-dimensional vibrational problem can be mapped onto an effective…
The single crystal of tris(thiourea)zinc sulphate (Zn[CS(NH2)2]3SO4) was irradiated by 150 MeV Au9+ swift heavy ions and analyzed in comparison with pure crystal for crystalline perfection and optical properties. The Fourier transform…
We generalize and systematize basic experimental data on optical and luminescence properties of ZnO single crystals, thin films, powders, ceramics, and nanocrystals. We consider and study mechanisms by which two main emission bands occur, a…
This work focuses on the investigation of radiation induced defects responsible for the degradation of silicon detectors. Comparative studies of the defects induced by irradiation with 60Co- rays, 6 and 15 MeV electrons, 23 GeV protons and…
Highly luminescent ZnO:Na nanocrystals of size ~2 nm were synthesized using a improved sol-lyophilization process. The surface analysis such as survey scan, core-level and valence band spectra of ZnO:Na nanocrystals were studied using x-ray…
The rutile TiO$_2$ (110) surface reduced by the bridging oxygen vacancy, bridging hydroxyl group or Ti interstitial atom has been investigated by calculating their electronic structures using the density functional theory plus U method. It…
Cobalt and manganese ions are implanted into SiO$_2$ over a wide range of concentrations. For low concentrations, the Co atoms occupy interstitial locations, coordinated with oxygen, while metallic Co clusters form at higher implantation…
Numerous studies focus on the relationships between chemical composition and OHband positions in the infrared (IR) spectra of micaceous minerals. These studies are based on the coexistence, in dioctahedral micas or smectites, of several…
We investigate native point defects and rare-earth (co)dopants in SrAl$_2$O$_4$ using hybrid density-functional defect calculations. Europium (Eu) and dysprosium (Dy) are found to be mixed valence and energetically most favorable at the Sr…
In this study, oxygen vacancies and adatoms have been considered on the surface of both hexagonal and triangular ZnO nanowires. Their effect on the electronic structure and optical spectra of the nanowires have been investigated using the…
The effects of high concentration of point defects in crystalline ZrSiO4 as originated by exposure to radiation, have been simulated using first principles density functional calculations. Structural relaxation and vibrational studies were…
