We use density functional calculations to investigate the accommodation and migration of oxygen vacancies in bulk hexagonal YMnO$_3$, and to study interactions between neutral ferroelectric domain walls and oxygen vacancies. Our…

We discuss the applicability of the pseudopotential-like self-interaction correction (pSIC) to the study of defect energetics and electronic structure of In2O3. Our results predict that substitutional (at oxygen sites) and interstitial (at…

The thermodynamic and kinetic properties of mono and di-vacancy defects in cubic (para-electric) barium titanate are studied by means of density-functional theory calculations. It is determined which vacancy types prevail for given…

Metal-insulator transition materials such as NbO2 have generated much excitement in recent years for their potential applications in computing and sensing. NbO2 has generated considerable debate over the nature of the phase transition, and…

Defects creation and annihilation is a fundamental concept in device fabrication. This report studies the optical bandgap modification in MgO by MeV Ni ion irradiation-induced defect states between valance and conduction band. Ion…

With an ongoing discussion on the oxygen diffusion along crystal defects remaining, it is difficult to study this phenomenon in Al containing intermetallic materials due to its rapid and passivating oxide formation. We report here the…

The structure of the ferroelectric phase of undoped KTiOPO$_4$ and its solid solutions with zirconium and niobium is studied from first principles within the density functional theory. The second-order nonlinear susceptibility tensor and…

The alkali atoms, due to their small sizes and low charge ionic states, are most eligible to intercalate in the structural layers of V2O5. We have applied ab-initio density functional theory to study the dynamics of Li-ion in layers of…

Oxygen vacancies at the SnO2(110) and (101) surface and subsurface sites have been studied in the framework of density functional theory by using both all-electron Gaussian and pseudopotential plane-wave methods. The all-electron…

We studied the influence of defect states on the laser excitation process in silicon using time-dependent density functional theory. We assumed two types of point defects: interstitial oxygen and silicon vacancies. We found that the…

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…

We report first principles calculations of the structural, electronic, elastic and vibrational properties of the semiconducting orthorhombic ZnSb compound. We study also the intrinsic point defects in order to eventually improve the…

Using a combination of density functional theory calculations with an on-site Coulomb repulsion term (DFT+$U$) and Boltzmann transport theory within the constant relaxation time approximation, we explore the effect of oxygen vacancies on…

Since recently, some interests appeared in TiO as a thin film coating material due to its promising physical properties. Moreover, because of the existence of intrinsic vacancies, TiO demonstrates memristive properties. To use these…

Compounds crystallizing in the structure of NaZr$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$ (NZP) are considered as promising materials for solid state electrolytes in Li-ion batteries. Using density functional theory (DFT), a systematic computational screening of 18…

TiO2 is a technologically important material. In particular, its anatase polymorph plays a major role in photocatalysis, which can also accommodate charged and neutral vacancies. There is, however, scant theoretical work on the vacancy…

An extensive search for low-energy lithium defects in crystalline silicon using density-functional-theory methods and the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method shows that the four-lithium-atom substitutional point defect is…

We study the stability and electronic properties of intrinsic point defects, vacancy and self-interstitial, in mono- and bi-layer phosphorene. We calculate the formation energies, quasiparticle defect states and charge transition levels…

The effects of Li doping in MgH$_2$ on H-diffusion process are investigated, using first-principles calculations. We have identified two key effects: (1) The concentration of H vacancy in the $+1$ charge state (V$_H^{+1}$) can increase by…

The hydrogen interstitial and the substitutional Al_Zn, Ga_Zn and In_Zn are all shallow donors in ZnO and lead to n-type conductivity. Although shallow donors are expected to repel each other, we show by first principles calculations that…
