Structural, electronic and optical properties of Nd-doped anatase TiO2 for dye-sensitized solar cells from density functional theory

The structural, electronic and optical properties of pure and neodymium (Nd) doped anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) are investigated via first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT) approach. The band gap reduces to ~0.398 eV when Ti4+ is substituted with Nd3+ in TiO2 crystal...
