The formation of magnetic moment due to the dopants with p-orbital (d-orbital) is named d0 (d −) magnetism, where the ion without (with) partially filled d states is found to be responsible for the observed magnetic properties. To study the origin

Carbon nitride in the form of C 3 N 4 was speculated nearly 22 years ago. It has various structural forms ranging from layered graphitic to superhard structures. Using first principles calculations, we investigate the structural and elastic propertie

We investigate the electronic structure and elastic properties of TiB 2 and ZrB 2 . The electronic properties are computed within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) based on linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), full potential l

The elastic constants and isotropic moduli of a recently synthesized orthorhombic ternary metal nitride are examined using first-principles calculations. Tantalum nitride has the largest moduli but other metals such as vanadium or niobium are shown t

The carbon vacancy in diamond and many similar defects have strong electron correlation giving rise to molecular multiplet structures. Sophisticated electron–phonon interaction subsequently occurs at these defects giving rise to optical and other e

Ab initio calculations are undertaken to compare properties of some phases of several metal oxides, namely titanium, tantalum, niobium and tungsten. The crystal structures considered follow that found in ZrO2, namely monoclinic, cubic, tetragonal and

Since the discovery of spinel nitrides in 1999, there has been a lot of effort in basic science to further develop advanced nitrides and electronic nitrides. The aim and scope of the research in this field is to synthesize novel nitrides for structur

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to model the behavior of a 4 nm size particle of anatase TiO2 when placed under pressure. The model suggests that disorder is initiated in a surface crust of the particles with some crystallinity being re

Substitutional defects C, Si, Al and Ti included in c-BN are examined using ab initio calculations employing various sizes of supercell to simulate the dependence of the electronic properties on defect concentration. We suggest some of these defects

Ab-initio electronic structure calculations using the local density (LDA) and generalized gradient approximations (GGA) are undertaken on Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) and isomorphic materials. The crystal structure is better predicted using one
