We introduce the first multiorbital effective tight-binding model to describe the effect of electron-electron interactions in this system. Upon fixing all the effective hopping parameters in the normal state against an ab initio band…

The errors arising in ab initio density functional theory studies of semiconductor point defects using the supercell approximation are analyzed. It is demonstrated that a) the leading finite size errors are inverse linear and inverse cubic…

Point defect complexes in crystalline silicon composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms are studied within density-functional theory (DFT). Ab initio Random Structure Searching (AIRSS) is used to find low-energy defect structures. We…

We present a novel model to calculate vertical transport properties such as conductance and current in unintentionally disordered double barrier GaAs-Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As heterostructures. The source of disorder comes from interface roughness…

We numerically investigate the transport properties of disordered interacting electrons in three dimensions in the metallic as well as in the insulating phases. The disordered many-particle problem is modeled by the quantum Coulomb glass…

We analyze a system of two colliding ultracold atoms under strong harmonic confinement from the viewpoint of quantum defect theory and formulate a generalized self-consistent method for determining the allowed energies. We also present two…

It has been recently shown theoretically that a topological defect in a 1D periodic potential may give rise to two localized states within the energy gaps. In this work we present an experimental realization of this effect for the case of…

We investigate electron charge decoherence in a laterally-coupled single-electron semiconductor double quantum dot through electron-phonon interaction. We analytically and numerically evaluate the relaxation and dephasing rates due to…

We study backscattering of electrons and conductance suppression in a helical edge channel in two-dimensional topological insulators with broken axial spin symmetry in the presence of nonmagnetic point defects that create bound states. In…

We consider pseudogap effects for electrons interacting with gapless modes. We study both generic 1D semiconductors with acoustic phonons and incommensurate charge density waves. We calculate the subgap absorption as it can be observed by…

Pair density waves (PDWs) are a inhomogeneous superconducting states whose Cooper pairs possess a finite momentum resulting in a oscillatory gap in space, even in the absence of an external magnetic field. There is growing evidence for the…

We develop a theory of a pseudogap state appearing near the superconductor-insulator transition in strongly disordered metals with attractive interaction. We show that such an interaction combined with the fractal nature of the single…

We develop an atomistic, nearest-neighbor sp3s* tight-binding Hamiltonian to investigate the electronic structure of dilute bismide alloys of GaP and GaAs. Using this model we calculate that the incorporation of dilute concentrations of Bi…

The electronic and electrical properties of crystalline organic semiconductors, such as the dispersions of the electronic bands and the dependence of charge-carrier mobility on temperature, are greatly impacted by the nonlocal…

Defects on surfaces of semiconductors have a strong effect on their reactivity and catalytic properties. The concentration of different charge states of defects is determined by their formation energies. First-principles calculations are an…

Several approaches have been used to investigate the impact of Nitrogen (N) on the electronic structure of GaAs$_{1-x}$N$_{x}$ alloys, however, there is no agreement between theory and experiments about the importance of the different N…

The states of two electrons in tunnel-coupled semiconductor quantum dots can be effectively described in terms of a two-spin Hamiltonian with an isotropic Heisenberg interaction. A similar description needs to be generalized in the case of…

In one dimension the coupling of electrons to phonons leads to a transition from a metallic to a Peierls distorted insulated state if the coupling exceeds a critical value. On the other hand, in two dimensions the electron-phonon…

We have developed a technique that dramatically reduces the contact resistances and depletes a shunting channel between the contacts outside the Hall bar in ultra-high mobility SiGe/Si/SiGe heterostructures. It involves the creation of…

Based on first-principles calculations we showed that superlattices of periodically repeated junctions of hydrogen saturated silicon nanowire segments having different lengths and diameters form multiple quantum well structures. The band…
