Conventional magnetic order in a material requires the partially filled d or f bands. The
exchange interactions between the electrons in these partially filled bands give rise to a …

The photocatalytic overall water splitting (POWS) reaction using particulate catalysts is
considered as an ideal approach for capturing solar energy and storing it in the form of …

Among wide-energy-gap semiconductors, doped titanium dioxides (anatase or/and rutile
polymorphs) are the most promising materials for designing photocatalysts active in the …

Redox mediation is an innovative strategy for ensuring efficient energy harvesting from
metal–oxygen systems. This work presents a systematic exploratory analysis of first-row …

Bulk ZrO2 is both nonreducible and nonmagnetic. Recent experimental results show that
dopant-free, oxygen-deficient ZrO2–x nanostructures exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior at …

Room temperature ferromagnetism has been experimentally observed in TiO 2: N films
prepared by pulse laser deposition under N 2 O atmosphere. The ferromagnetism appears …

The spin-polarization and magnetic coupling character of N-doped SrTiO 3 (STO) and BaTiO
3 (BTO) are studied through first-principles calculations. The substitutional N do** at O …

The electronic properties and atomic structures of W, N, S, W/N, and W/S do**s of anatase
TiO 2 have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory. The …

In the present work, nanocrystalline samples of Ti 1− x Cr x O 2 (x= 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and
0.08) were synthesized in anatase phase through simple and cost effective acid modified sol …

Room temperature ferromagnetism has been observed experimentally by implanting 1.2
MeV carbon on rutile TiO 2. Density functional theory has been employed to study the …
