We report a combined experimental/theoretical approach to study the connection of S-vacancies and wrinkling on MoS2 layers, and how this feature produces significant changes in the electronic structure and reactivity of this 2D material.

The (opto)electronic properties of Ta3N5 photoelectrodes are often dominated by defects, but precise control of these defects provides new insight into the electronic structure, photocarrier transport, and photoelectrochemical function.

AbstractThe electronic properties of 3d transition metal (TM) defects located on one of the four different tetrahedral positions in 3C SiC are shown to be quite site-dependent. We explain the differences for the 3d TMs on the two substitutional sites within the vacancy model: the difference of the electronic structure between the carbon vacancy VC and the silicon vacancy VSi is responsible for the differences of the 3d TMs. The electronic properties of 3d TMs on the two tetrahedral interstitial sites differ even more: the TMs surrounded tetrahedrally by four Si atoms experience a large crystal field splitting while the tetrahedral C environment does not give rise to a significant crystal field splitting at all. It is only in the latter case that high-spin configurations are predicted.

Perylene Bisimides Derivatives (PBIs) are typical semiconductor materials. The electronic structures of PBIs were successfully investigated by density functions theory (DFT). The computational results were in the good accordance with the experimental UV-vis spectra. Additionally, the electronic structure and the variational UV-vis absorption spectra of PBIs were explained.

A study of effects induced in the Be 1s core level spectrum and in the surface band structure after Si adsorption on Be(0001) is reported. The changes in the Be 1s spectrum are quite dramatic. The number of resolvable surface components and the magnitude of the shifts do decrease and the relative intensities of the shifted components are drastically different compared to the clean surface. The surface band structure is also strongly affected after Si adsorption and annealing. At [Formula: see text] the surface state is found to move down from 2.8 to 4.1 eV. The band also splits at around 0.5 Å-1 along both the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] directions. At [Formula: see text] and beyond [Formula: see text] only one surface state is observed in the band gap instead of the two for the clean surface. Our findings indicate that a fairly small amount of Si in the outer atomic layers strongly modifies the electronic properties of these layers.

The dA::dGoxo pair appearing in nucleic ds-DNA can lead to a mutation in the genetic information. Depending on the dGoxo source, an AT→GC and GC→AC transversion might be observed. As a result, glycosylases are developed during the evolution, i.e., OGG1 and MutY. While the former effectively removes Goxo from the genome, the second one removes adenine from the dA::dGoxo and dA:dG pair. However, dA::dGoxo is recognized by MutY as ~6–10 times faster than dA:dG. In this article, the structural and electronic properties of simple nucleoside pairs dA:dG, dC:::dGoxo, dC:::dG, dA::dGoxo in the aqueous phase have been taken into theoretical consideration. The influence of solvent relaxation on the above is also discussed. It can be concluded that the dA::dGoxo nucleoside pair shows a lower ionization potential and higher electron affinity than the dA:dG pair in both a vertical and adiabatic mode. Therefore, it could be predicted, under electronic properties, that the electron ejected, for instance by a MutY 4[Fe-S]2+ cluster, is predisposed to trapping by the ds-DNA part containing the dA::dGoxo pair rather than by dA::dG.
