Nano particles of pure ZnO, pure SnO$_2$, and nanocomposites of ZnO/SnO$_2$ were synthesized using microwave hydrothermal technique starting from aqueous solutions. Nanocomposites with different molar ratios of ZnO and SnO$_2$ were…
ZnO/GaN alloys exhibit exceptional photocatalyst applications owing to the flexibly tunable band gaps that cover a wide range of the solar spectrum, and thus have attracted extensive attentions over the past few years. In this study,…
Metal oxide thin films are of great interest in scientific advancement, particularly semiconductor thin films in transistors and in a wide range of optoelectronic applications. Many metal oxide thin films attract interest for their…
Cr-doped ZnO films were fabricated by a new but feasible method, that is, annealing Cr-Zn layers deposited via DC magnetron sputtering in air. Microstructures of the films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron…
We fabricated NiFe$_\textrm{2}$O$_\textrm{x}$ thin films on MgAl$_2$O$_4$(001) substrates by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering varying the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. The fabrication of a variable material with oxygen…
The ternary nitride CaZn2N2, composed only of earth-abundant elements, is a novel semiconductor with a band gap of 1.8 eV. First-principles calculations predict that continuous Mg substitution at the Zn site will change the optical band gap…
The non-equilibrium boron nitride (BN) phase of zinc oxide (ZnO) has been reported for thin films and nanostructures, however, its properties are not well understood due to a persistent controversy that prevents reconciling experimental and…
We report the calculated fundamental band gaps of \emph{wurtzite} ternary alloys Zn$_{1-x}$M$_x$O (M=Mg, Cd) and the band offsets of the ZnO/Zn$_{1-x}$M$_x$O heterojunctions, these II-VI materials are important for electronics and…

Calculations of formation energies and charge transition levels of defects routinely rely on density functional theory (DFT) for describing the electronic structure. Since bulk band gaps of semiconductors and insulators are not well…
Orthorhombic II-IV nitride semiconductors offer an expanded and more tunable material set with unique properties, while maintaining close compatibility with the wurtzite crystal structure of the III-nitrides. In particular, MgSiN2, a II-IV…
