Bulk n-type SrTiO3 (STO) has long been known to possess a superconducting ground state at an exceptionally dilute carrier density. This has raised questions about the applicability of the BCS-Eliashberg paradigm with its underlying…
The hexagonal multiferroic oxide YMnO$_3$ has demonstrated applications in various fields and is widely researched due to its interesting properties. Since Mn(3d)--O(2p) interactions predominate close to the Fermi level, doping in the…
Tellurium allows attaining heavy n-type doping levels in GaAs, which is suited to achieve very low contact resistivities in solar cells. Besides, it modifies the energy bandgap of MOVPE-grown GaInP by reducing the group-III sublattice…
The highly conducting and transparent inorganic perovskites SrBO$_3$ with V, Nb, Mo, and their mixtures at the B-site have recently attracted the attention of the oxide electronics community as novel alternative transparent conducting…
Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a wide-band-gap semiconductor promising for UV sensors and high power transistor applications, with Baliga's figure of merit that far exceeds those of GaN and SiC, second only to diamond. Engineering its band…
We performed broadband optical transmission measurements of Bi2Se3 and In-doped Bi(1-x)In(x)2Se3 thin films, where in the latter the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength can be tuned by introducing In. Drude and interband transitions exhibit…
The combination of bandstructure theory in the local density approximation with dynamical mean field theory was recently successfully applied to V$_2$O$_3$ -- a material which undergoes the f amous Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition…
Boron-doped diamond crystals (BDD, C$_{1-x}$B$_{x}$) exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, electronic tunability, and resistance to radiation damage. This makes them promising materials for use in gamma-ray crystal-based light sources.…
This work establishes key technological guidelines for designing diamond-based optoelectronic devices, derived from a first-principles investigation of two architectures: a PIN junction with a boron-vacancy-boron (BVB) intermediate-band…
Diamond and many newly emerged semiconductor materials show outstanding optical and magnetic properties. However, they cannot be as efficiently doped as silicon or gallium arsenide, which limits their practical applicability. Here, we…
We theoretically investigate the possibility of establishing ferromagnetism in the topological insulator Bi2Se3 via magnetic doping of 3d transition metal elements. The formation energies, charge states, band structures, and magnetic…
We study the feasibility of boron doping in gallium oxide ($\text{Ga}_2\text{O}_3$) for neutron detection. $\text{Ga}_2\text{O}_3$ is a wide band-gap, radiation hard material which has potential for neutron detection if it can be doped with…
A simple surface band structure and a large bulk band gap have allowed Bi2Se3 to become a reference material for the newly discovered three-dimensional topological insulators, which exhibit topologically-protected conducting surface states…
The electronic, thermal, magnetic and optical properties of BN-codoped strontium oxide (SrO) monolayers are studied taking into account the interaction effects between the B and the N dopant atoms. The indirect band gap of a pure two…
Over the last few years of the heyday of hybrid halide perovskites, so many metal cations additives have been tested to improve their optoelectronic properties that it is already difficult to find an element that has not yet been tried. In…
We have investigated electron transport in Nb doped SrTiO$_3$ single crystals for two doping densities. We find that the resistivity and mobility are temperature dependent in both whereas the carrier concentration is almost temperature…
Tuning band gaps in two-dimensional (2D) materials is of great interest in the fundamental and practical aspects of contemporary material sciences. Recently, black phosphorus (BP) consisting of stacked layers of phosphorene was…
Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) and transparent oxide semiconductors (TOSs) have become necessary materials for a variety of applications in the information and energy technologies, ranging from transparent electrodes to active…
We show that the optical and electronic properties of nanocrystalline silicon can be efficiently tuned using impurity doping. In particular, we give evidence, by means of ab-initio calculations, that by properly controlling the doping with…
Topological insulators possess a non-conductive bulk and present surface states, henceforth, they are electrically conductive along their boundaries. Bismuth selenide ($Bi_2Se_3$) is one of the most promising topological insulators.…
