Cold electropolishing (EP) of a nitrogen-doped (N-doped) niobium (Nb) superconducting RF (SRF) cavity was found to improve its quality factor. In order to understand the effect of EP temperature on N-doped and undoped surfaces, a systematic…

The electronic and magnetic properties of neutral substitutional transition-metal dopants in dia- mond are calculated within density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation to the exchange-correlation potential. Ti…

Using Density functional theory (DFT) in conjunction with a solvation model we have investigated the phenomenon of eletrode-electrolyte interaction at the electrode surface and its consequences on the electrochemical properties like the…

Tin monoxide (SnO) is a p-type oxide semiconductor whose electronic properties can be widely modified via atomic-scale engineering. Using density functional theory, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal…

We study the photo-physical stability of ensemble near-surface nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond under vacuum and air. The optically detected magnetic resonance contrast of the NV centers was measured following exposure to laser…

We have determined the electronic and atomic structure of N doped TiO2 using a combination of hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) and first- principles density functional theory calculations. Our results reveal that N doping of…

We study magnetism in the electron-doped infinite-layer nickelate NdNiO$_2$. We perform an unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculation for a tight-binding model which contains both nickel and neodymium orbitals. We reproduce the self-doping…

In this work, we revisit the issue of the nature of electronic transport in nickel oxide (NiO) and show that the widely used model of free small polaron hopping, initially raised to characterize transport in high-purity samples, is not…

Control over the charge states of color centers in solids is necessary in order to fully utilize them in quantum technologies. However, the microscopic charge dynamics of deep defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors are complex, and much…

This paper reviews and summarizes the recent first-principles theoretical studies of the structural stability, electronic structure, optical and magnetic properties of nonmetal-doped TiO$_2$. The first section presents a comparison study of…

The electronic, thermal and optical properties of a monolayer BeO with Boron (B) and Nitrogen (N) co-dopant atoms are studied by means of a density functional theory computation. Our calculations reveal that BeO with BN-codopant atoms can…

Optically-active spin qubits in wide-bandgap semiconductors exist in several charge states, though typically only specific charge states exhibit desirable spin or photonic properties. An understanding of how interconversion between…

Ion implantation is an interesting method to dope semiconducting materials such as zinc oxide provided that the implantation-induced defects can be subsequently removed. Nitrogen implantation followed by anneals under O2 were carried out on…

Strong electronic correlation can lead to insulating behavior and to the opening of large optical gaps, even in materials with partly filled valence shells. Although the non-equilibrium optical response encodes both local (quasi atomic) and…

Superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates holds exciting analogies with that of cuprates, with similar structures and $3d$-electron count. Using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) we studied electronic and magnetic excitations…

We study how Co- and Ni-substitution affect the electronic structure of the iron-based superconductor, LaFeAsO. We perform {\it ab initio} supercell calculations and unfold the first Brillouin zone (BZ) to calculate the spectral function in…

In strongly correlated transition metal dichalcogenides, an intricate interplay of polaronic distortions, stacking arrangement, and electronic correlations determines the nature of the insulating state. Here, we study the response of the…

We present a comprehensive study of the energetics and magnetic properties of ZnO clusters doped with 3d transition metals (TM) using ab initio density functional calculations in the framework of generalized gradient approximation + Hubbard…

The electronic structure change of NiS$_{2-x}$Se$_x$ as a function of Se concentration $x$ has been studied by Ni $L$-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The XAS spectra show distinct features in Ni $L_3$ edge, indicating whether the…

By studying Fe-doped ZnO pellets and thin films with various x-ray spectroscopic techniques, and complementing this with density functional theory calculations, we find that Fe-doping in bulk ZnO induces isovalent (and isostructural) cation…
