Polaron Self-Trapping Rates from First Principles

Mark E. Turiansky, Joel B. Varley, Audrius Alkauskas +1

Polaron formation, also known as self-trapping, is a process akin to nonradiative carrier capture at point defects or impurities. In this work, we develop the formalism to determin…

Coordination-Sensitive Nanoscale Analysis of Defect-Driven Phase Transformation in Si-Doped (AlXGa1-X)2O3

Shaon Das, Jith Sarker, Christopher Chae +5

Defect-driven phase instability critically influences the structural reliability of ultrawide bandgap oxides, yet direct nanoscale metrics linking local chemistry to structural tra…

A scanning probe microscopy approach for identifying defects in aluminum oxide

Leah Tom, Zachary J. Krebs, Joel B. Varley +8

The coherence of quantum dot qubits fabricated in semiconductors is often limited by charge noise from defects in gate dielectrics, which are material- and process-dependent. Chara…

Quantitative Modeling of Point Defects in -Ga2O3 Combining Hybrid Functional Energetics with Semiconductor and Processes Thermodynamics

Khandakar Aaditta Arnab, Megan Stephens, Isaac Maxfield +5

B-gallium oxide (B-Ga2O3) is of high interest for power electronics because of its unique combination of melt growth, epitaxial growth, n-type dopability, ultrawide bandgap, and hi…

Dynamic Competition Between Hubbard and Superexchange Interactions Selectively Localizes Electrons and Holes Through Polarons

Jocelyn L. Mendes, Hyun Jun Shin, Jae Yeon Seo +4

Controlling the effects of photoexcited polarons in transition metal oxides can enable the long timescale charge separation necessary for renewable energy applications as well as c…

Dangling bonds as possible contributors to charge noise in silicon and silicon-germanium quantum dot qubits

Joel B. Varley, Keith G. Ray, Vincenzo Lordi

Spin qubits based on Si and SiGe quantum dot architectures exhibit among the best coherence times of competing quantum computing technologies, yet they still suffer f…
