Metastability Triggered Reactivity in Clusters at Realistic Conditions: A Case Study of N-doped (TiO) for Photocatalysis

Shikha Saini, Pooja Basera, Manish Kumar +2

Here we report a strategy, by taking a prototypical model system for photocatalysis (viz. N-doped (TiO) clusters), to accurately determine low energy metastable structures…

Role of Defects in Photocatalytic Water Splitting: Monodoped vs Codoped SrTiO

Manish Kumar, Pooja Basera, Shikha Saini +1

Using the hybrid density functional theory and \textit{ab initio} atomistic thermodynamics, we report monodoping of non-metal (N) or metal (Mn) in SrTiO can induce visible ligh…
