We study sub-surface arsenic dopants in a hydrogen terminated Si(001) sample at 77 K, using scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy. We observe a number of different dopant related features that fall into two classes, which we call…
Autocompensated Si-doped GaAs is studied with cross-sectional scanning tunneling spectroscopy (X-STS). The local electronic contrasts of substitutional Si(Ga) donors and Si(As) acceptors under the (110) cleavage plane are imaged with high…
Control of dopants in silicon remains the most important approach to tailoring the properties of electronic materials for integrated circuits, with Group V impurities the most important n-type dopants. At the same time, silicon is finding…
Semiconductor devices continue to press into the nanoscale regime, and new applications have emerged for which the quantum properties of dopant atoms act as the functional part of the device, underscoring the necessity to probe the quantum…
Silicon (Si) is the primary donor dopant in gallium nitride (GaN), introduced through epitaxial growth or ion implantation. However, precise control over Si diffusion remains a critical challenge for high-performance device applications.…

Atomic-scale understanding of phosphorous donor wave functions underpins the design and optimisation of silicon based quantum devices. The accuracy of large-scale theoretical methods to compute donor wave functions is dependent on…
Using scanning tunneling microscopy together with the first-principles density functional theory calculations we study structural properties of the Si(111)5x2-Au surface covered by Ag adatoms. The STM topography data show that a…
High-density structures of sub-surface phosphorus dopants in silicon continue to garner interest as a silicon-based quantum computer platform, however, a much-needed confirmation of their dopant arrangement has been lacking. In this work,…

The electronic properties of pure and As-doped Si nanowires with radii up to 9.53 nm are studied using large scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We show that, for the undoped nanowires, the DFT bandgap reduces with…
The progress of miniaturisation in integrated electronics has led to atomic and nanometre-sized dopant devices in silicon. Such structures can be fabricated routinely by hydrogen resist lithography, using various dopants such as phosphorous…
Donor-acceptor pairs (DAPs) in wide-bandgap semiconductors are promising platforms for the realization of quantum technologies, due to their optically controllable, long-range dipolar interactions. Specifically, Al-N DAPs in bulk silicon…

We present ab initio density-functional calculations for acceptors, donors, and native defects in aluminum nitride, showing that acceptors are deeper (Be ~ 0.25 eV, Mg_ 0.45 eV) and less soluble than in GaN; at further variance with GaN,…
