First-principles investigation of the assumptions underlying Model-Hamiltonian approaches to ferromagnetism of 3d impurities in III-V semiconductors

TL;DR: In this article, first-principles calculations for transition-metal impurities V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni in GaAs, as well as Cr and Mn in GaN, GaP, and GaSb, were performed to identify the basic features of the electronic structures of these systems.

Intrinsic DX Centers in Ternary Chalcopyrite Semiconductors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report that intrinsic donor-type defects In{sub Cu, Ga, sub Cu, and V{sub Se} cause metastability, but also act to limit V{ sub OC; and that growth conditions which minimize these defects (Cu-rich/Se-rich) are very different from those currently used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic Interactions of Cr-Cr and Co-Co Impurity Pairs in ZnO within a Band-Gap Corrected Density-Functional Approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic coupling of the impurity pairs was determined in the presence of a correctly positioned conduction band (with respect to the $3d$ states) through the addition of empirical nonlocal external potentials to the standard density functional Hamiltonian.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical spectroscopy of single quantum dots at tunable positive, neutral, and negative charge states

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the observation of photoluminescence from positive, neutral, and negative charge states of single semiconductor quantum dots and use it to identify collective states, which contain charge of one type coupled to few charges of the other type.
