Small Polaron Formation and Transport in Doped Hematite

A complete study of the effect of defects (including Oxygen vacancies, Nitrogen, Nitrogen+Oxygen Vacancy and Tin) on the electronic structure of Hematite (Fe2O3), including a further study on small polaron transport in pristine Hematite and Sn-doped Hematite. This work provides key insight into how these defects affect the photoconductivity of a hematite based photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting.
