• Abstract: In this article, the electronic band structure $\beta-(Al_xGa_{1-x})_2O_3$ alloy system is calculated with $\beta-Ga_2O_3$ as the bulk crystal. The technique of band unfolding is implemented to obtain the effective bandstructure \textit{(EBS)} for aluminium fractions varying between 12.5\% and 62.5\% with respect to the gallium atoms. A 160 atom supercell is used to model the disordered system that is generated using the technique of special quasirandom structures which mimics the site correlation of a truly random alloy and reduces the configurational space that arises due to the vast enumeration of alloy occupation sites. The impact of the disorder is then evaluated on the electron effective mass and bandgap which is calculated under the generalized gradient approximation \textit{(GGA)}. The EBS of disordered systems gives an insight into the effect of the loss of translational symmetry on the band topology which manifests as band broadening and can be used to evaluate disorder induced scattering rates and electron lifetimes. This technique of band unfolding can be further extended to alloy phonon dispersion and subsequently phonon lifetimes can also be evaluated from the band broadening.

  We find a giant magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) constant in abundant element cerium (Ce) substituted M-type hexaferrite. The electronic structure shows that the electron transfer leads to the formation of Ce$3+$ and Fe$2+$ at the $2a$ site. The Ce-hexaferrite can be a new high-performing critical-element-free permanent magnet material adapted for use in devices such as automotive traction drive motors.

  We show two seemingly unrelated problems - the trapping of an atom in an optical superlattice and the libration of a planar rigid rotor in combined electric and optical fields. We make use of both the correspondence and the quasi-exact solvability to treat ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice as a semifinite-gap system.
