This Review highlights basic and transition metal conducting and semiconducting oxides.
We discuss their material and electronic properties with an emphasis on the crystal …

This review attempts to compile the physics and chemistry of defects in zinc oxide (ZnO), at
both, the fundamental and application levels. The defects, either inherent ones or introduced …

Point defects are a universal feature of crystals. Their identification is addressed by
combining experimental measurements with theoretical models. The standard modelling …

Point defects and impurities strongly affect the physical properties of materials and have a
decisive impact on their performance in applications. First-principles calculations have …

In the past ten years we have witnessed a revival of, and subsequent rapid expansion in, the
research on zinc oxide (ZnO) as a semiconductor. Being initially considered as a substrate …

We have performed a comprehensive first-principles investigation of native point defects in
ZnO based on density functional theory within the local density approximation (LDA) as well …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor with potential applications in
optoelectronics, transparent electronics, and spintronics. The high efficiency of UV emission …

This review aims to briefly outline the Hubbard-U scheme and to investigate the effect of its
inclusion in standard Density Functional Theory on electronic, structural, and optical …

Recent first-principles studies of point defects in ZnO are reviewed with a focus on native
defects. Key properties of defects, such as formation energies, donor and acceptor levels …

Low-dimensional ZnO nanocrystals with controlled size, aspect ratio, and oxygen defects
(eg, type and concentration) are successfully prepared through simple solvothermal and …
