Template-assisted grown III-V semiconductor nanowires: A transmission electron microscopy study

Nicolas Bologna

III-V semiconductor nanowires are, due to their unique properties, one of the most promising nanostructures developed in the last decades. However, the realization of commercial devices made of III-V nanowires, such as transistors and solar cells, has not ...

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in III-nitride nanostructures and LED quantum efficiency

Wei Liu, Wei Liu

Since the seminal report about the first Candela- class-brightness InGaN blue light- emitting diodes (LEDs) by Shuji Nakamura et al. in 1994, III-nitride semiconductors have been one of the most important platforms for optoelectronic devices. The achieve ...

Transferability of the SRP32-vdW specific reaction parameter functional to CHD3 dissociation on Pt(110)-(2 × 1)

Rainer Beck, Ana Gutiérrez González, Helen Jane Chadwick

Stepped transition metal surfaces, including the reconstructed Pt(110)-(2 × 1) surface, can be used to model the effect of line defects on cata- lysts. We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of CHD3 dissociation on this surface. Theoretic ...

Extrinsic Defects in Amorphous Oxides: Hydrogen, Carbon, and Nitrogen Impurities in Alumina

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Zhendong Guo

We present a procedure for addressing extrinsic defects in amorphous oxides, in which the most stable defect configurations are identified through ab initio molecular dynamics in various charge states and studied through hybrid functional calculations. The ...

Alignment of energy levels in amorphous oxides and at semiconductor-water interfaces

Zhendong Guo

We conduct a detailed investigation of defects in two representative amorphous oxides: amorphous Al2O3 (am-Al2O3) and TiO2 (am-TiO2), by combining ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and hybrid functional calculations. Our results indicate that o ...

Hydrogen Diffusion and Trapping in α-Iron: The Role of Quantum and Anharmonic Fluctuations

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of a hydrogen interstitial in magnetic α-iron, taking account of the quantum fluctuations of the proton as well as the anharmonicities of lattice vibrations and hydrogen hopping. We show that the diffusivity o ...

Line Defects and Radiation in N=2 Conformal Theories

Marco Meineri

We study the conformal data of a generic superconformal line defect preserving half of the supercharges in a four-dimensional N = 2 conformal theory. We prove a theory independent relation between the one-point function of the stress tensor in the presence ...

Synthesis and characterization of fluorinated anatase nanoparticles and subsequent N-doping for efficient visible light activated photocatalysis

Paul Bowen, Sami Rtimi, Irena Markovic

Fluorinated-titanium dioxide (TiO2-F) nanoparticles in a pure anatase polymorph was precipitated from solution by hydrolysis of titanium oxychloride, using urea and ammonia as precipitation agents and potassium fluoride as a source of fluorine anion. A fur ...

Domain-wall conduction in ferroelectric BiFeO3 controlled by accumulation of charged defects

Dragan Damjanovic

Mobile charged defects, accumulated in the domain-wall region to screen polarization charges, have been proposed as the origin of the electrical conductivity at domain walls in ferroelectric materials. Despite theoretical and experimental efforts, this sce ...
