Theory and simulation of electronic and optical properties of thin film barium strontium titanate

In this thesis, we investigate, from first-principles, various means by which the energy gaps and the refractive index of BaTiO$_3$, SrTiO$_3$ and Ba$_{x}$Sr$_{1-x}$TiO$_3$ may be tuned, including epitaxial strain, alloying, and anionic doping. We start by discussing some limitations in the experime...
