The process of self-compensation in Cd0.95Zn0.05Te:Cl solid-solution crystals has been studied by annealing single crystals under a controlled Cd vapor pressure, with subsequent measurements of the Hall effect, photoluminescence, carrier lifetime and mobility, and photocurrent memory in the annealed crystals. By means of this annealing, conditions of thermal treatment that make it possible to fabricate low-conductivity samples with a low carrier density, 10E7-10E11 cm-3, are denned. In these samples, a p -- n conduction inversion is observed at a higher free-carrier density ((n, p) near 10E9 cm-3) and the dependence of the electron density on the Cd vapor pressure exhibits a more gentle slope than in the case of CdTe:Cl crystals. The obtained data are dis-cussed in terms of a self-compensation model in which intrinsic point defects act as acceptors with deep levels. This level is attributed to a Zn vacancy, which remains active at high Cd pressure.

Acceptor-type defects in highly n-type InN are probed using positron annihilation spectroscopy. Results are compared to Hall effect measurements and calculated electron mobilities. Based on this, self-compensation in n-type InN is studied and the mic
roscopic origin of compensating and scattering centers in irradiated and Si-doped InN is discussed. We find significant compensation through negatively charged indium vacancy complexes as well as additional acceptor-type defects with no or small effective open volume, which act as scattering centers in highly n-type InN samples.
Recent DFT (density functional theory) simulations showed that metals have a hitherto overlooked symmetry termed hidden scale invariance [Hummel {em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {bf{92}}, 174116 (2015)]. According to isomorph theory, this scaling property i
mplies the existence of lines in the thermodynamic phase diagram, so-called isomorphs, along which structure and dynamics are invariant to a good approximation when given in properly reduced units. This means that the phase diagram becomes effectively one-dimensional with regard to several physical properties. This paper investigates consequences and implications of the isomorph theory in six metallic crystals; Au, Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag and Pt. The data are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations employing many body effective medium theory (EMT) to model the atomic interactions realistically. We test the predictions from isomorph theory for structure and dynamics by means of the radial distribution and the velocity autocorrelation functions, as well as the rather dramatic prediction of instantaneous equilibration after a jump between two isomorphic points. Many properties of crystals tend to be dominated by defects and many of the properties associated with these defects are expected to be isomorph invariant as well. This is investigated in this paper for the case of vacancy diffusion. We find the predicted invariance of structure and also of dynamics, though less rigorous. We show results on the variation of the density scaling exponent $gamma$, which can be related to the Gruneisen-parameter, for all six metals. We consider large density changes up to a factor of two, corresponding to very high pressures. Unlike systems modelled using the Lennard-Jones potential where the density scaling-exponent $gamma$ is almost constant, it varies substantially when using the EMT potential and is also strongly material dependent.
We study the physical properties of Zn$X$ ($X$=O, S, Se, Te) and Cd$X$ ($X$=O, S, Se, Te) in the zinc-blende, rock-salt, and wurtzite structures using the recently developed fully $ab$ $initio$ pseudo-hybrid Hubbard density functional ACBN0. We find
that both the electronic and vibrational properties of these wide-band gap semiconductors are systematically improved over the PBE values and reproduce closely the experimental measurements. Similar accuracy is found for the structural parameters, especially the bulk modulus. ACBN0 results compare well with hybrid functional calculations at a fraction of the computational cost.
We discovered that perovskite (Ba,La)SnO3 can have excellent carrier mobility even though its band gap is large. The Hall mobility of Ba0.98La0.02SnO3 crystals with the n-type carrier concentration of sim 8-10times10 19 cm-3 is found to be sim 103 cm
2 V-1s-1 at room temperature, and the precise measurement of the band gap Delta of a BaSnO3 crystal shows Delta=4.05 eV, which is significantly larger than those of other transparent conductive oxides. The high mobility with a wide band gap indicates that (Ba,La)SnO3 is a promising candidate for transparent conductor applications and also epitaxial all-perovskite multilayer devices.
Glasses are nonequilibrium solids with properties highly dependent on their method of preparation. In vapor-deposited molecular glasses, structural organization could be readily tuned with deposition rate and substrate temperature. Herein, we show th
e atomic arrangement of strong network forming GeO2 glass is modified at medium range (< 2 nm) through vapor deposition at elevated temperatures. Raman spectral signatures distinctively show the population of 6-membered GeO4 rings increases at elevated substrate temperatures. Deposition near the glass transition temperature is more efficient than post-growth annealing in modifying atomic structure at medium range. The enhanced medium range organization correlates with reduction of the room temperature internal friction. Identifying the microscopic origin of room temperature internal friction in amorphous oxides is paramount to design the next generation interference coatings for mirrors of the end test masses of gravitational wave interferometers, in which the room temperature internal friction is a main source of noise limiting their sensitivity.
