We study photonic band gap formation in two-dimensional high refractive index disordered materials where the dielectric structure is derived from packing disks in real and reciprocal space. Numerical calculations of the photonic density of…
Leveraging strong optoelectronic responses to external stimuli, such as temperature and electric fields, is central to the development of advanced photonic technologies, including adaptive photodetectors and reconfigurable photovoltaic…
Understanding how to optimize electronic band structures for thermoelectrics is a topic of long-standing interest in the community. Prior models have been limited to simplified bands and/or scattering models. In this study, we apply more…
Structural colours have drawn wide attention for their potential as a future printing technology for various applications, ranging from biomimetic tissues to adaptive camouflage materials. However, an efficient approach to realise robust…
Thermoelectrics are promising to address energy issues but their exploitation is still hampered by low efficiencies. So far, much improvement has been achieved by reducing the thermal conductivity but less by maximizing the power factor.…
A remarkable consequence of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density functional theory is the existence of an injective map between the electronic density and any observable of the many electron problem in an external potential. In this work,…
Modern bandgap engineered electronic devices are typically made of multi-semiconductor multi-layer heterostructures that pose a major challenge to silicon-era characterization methods. As a result, contemporary bandgap engineering relies…
Elementary semiconductors are rare and attractive, especially for low-dimensional materials. Unfortunately, most of boron nanostructures were found to be metallic, despite of their typical semiconducting bulk structure. Herein, we propose a…
We investigate optimal band structures in band-converged systems to achieve high zT using numerical calculations based on a virtual spectral conductivity model. We consider a two parabolic band system, in which multiple band parameters can…
Within local-spin-density functional theory, we have investigated the `dissociation' of few-electron circular vertical semiconductor double quantum ring artificial molecules at zero magnetic field as a function of inter-ring distance. In a…
Electronic conductivity in organic materials is well-established. Both semiconductive and metallic behavior is observed in (quasi) 0-, 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional carbon-based materials and is applied in a wide range of commercial devices.…

Controlling the electronic properties via bandstructure engineering is at the heart of modern semiconductor devices. Here, we extend this concept to semimetals where, utilizing LuSb as a model system, we show that quantum confinement lifts…
Selenium is experiencing renewed interest as a elemental semiconductor for a range of optoelectronic and energy applications due to its irresistibly simple composition and favorable wide bandgap. However, its high volatility and low…
The semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs) are routinely used for simulations of strong-field laser-matter interactions in condensed matter. In systems without inversion or time-reversal symmetries, the Berry connections and transition dipole…
In this letter, we introduce a geometric model to explain the origin of the observed shallow levels in semiconductors threaded by a dislocation density. We show that a uniform distribution of screw dislocations acts as an effective uniform…
The non-resonant tunneling regime for charge transfer across nanojunctions is critically dependent on the so-called \beta{} parameter, governing the exponential decay of the current as the length of the junction increases. For periodic…
High-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is used to examine the electronic band structure of FeTe$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ near the Brillouin zone center. A consistent separation of the $\alpha_{1}$ and $\alpha_{2}$ bands is…
Organic semiconductors are attractive building blocks for electronic devices due to their low cost and flexibility. Furthermore, heterostructures with type-II band alignments can efficiently separate photogenerated charges via a charge…
A novel DC and AC driving configuration is proposed for semiconductor superlattices, in which the THz AC driving is provided by an intense bichromatic cw laser. The two components of the laser, usually in the visible light range, are near…
