AbstractWe have used ion channeling to examine the lattice configuration of deuterium in Mg doped GaN grown by MOCVD. The deuterium is introduced by exposure to gas phase or ECR plasmas. A density functional approach including lattice relaxation, was used to calculate total energies for various locations and charge states of hydrogen in the wurtzite Mg doped GaN lattice. Results of channeling measurements are compared with channeling simulations for hydrogen at lattice locations predicted by density functional theory.

We carried out ab initio electronic structure calculations in the frameworks of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) to study the electronic structures and hyperfine interaction of muonium (Mu) in imidazole (C3H4N2) and 1–methylimidazole (CH3C3H3N2). The local energy minima and hyperfine interactions of the Mu trapped at the three studies sites were determined by performing geometry optimization procedure. The results show the total energies for all three studied sites are close to one another. The Mu hyperfine interactions were also determined, with the corresponding values vary from 343.00 MHz to 471.28 MHz for the imidazole–Mu cluster, and from 380.21 MHz – 465.57 MHz to 475.93 MHz for the cluster of 1–methylimidazole–Mu, respectively.

Geometries, electronic properties, and absorption spectra of the dyes which are a combination of thiophene based dye (THPD) and IR dyes (covering IR region; TIRBD1-TIRBD3) were performed using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), respectively. Different electron donating groups, electron withdrawing groups, and IR dyes have been substituted on THPD to enhance the efficiency. The bond lengths of new designed dyes are almost the same. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies of designed dyes are above the conduction band of TiO2 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energies are below the redox couple revealing that TIRBD1-TIRBD3 would be better sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. The broad spectra and low energy gap also showed that designed materials would be efficient sensitizers.
