Defect energy formation, lattice distortions and electronic structure of cubic In2O3 with Sn, Ga and O impurities were theoretically investigated using density functional theory. Different types of point defects, consisting of 1 to 4 atoms…

We study the formation energies of native point defects in GaN through density-functional theory. In our first-principles scheme, the band edges are positioned in accord with hybrid density functional calculations, thus yielding a band-gap…

We have performed a first-principles study of the p- and n-type conductivity in CuIn$_{1-x}$Ga$_x$Se$_{2}$ due to native point defects, based on the HSE06 hybrid functional. Band alignment shows that the band gap becomes larger with $x$ due…

We investigate the electronic structure and defect properties of Sn- and Ge- doped ZnTe by first-principles calculations within the DFT+$GW$ formalism. We find that $(\text{Sn}_\text{Zn})$ and $(\text{Ge}_\text{Zn})$ introduce isolated…

We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to characterize the energetics, and the atomic and electronic structure, of stacking faults in GaN, both in the stable hexagonal wurtzite (wz) phase and in the metastable cubic…

Density-functional studies of the electron states in the dilute magnetic semiconductor GaN:Mn reveal major differences for the case of the Mn impurity at the substitutional site Mn_Ga versus the interstitial site Mn_I. The splitting of the…

Semiconductors with wide band gap (3.0 eV), high dielectric constant (> 10), good thermal dissipation, and capable of $n$- and $p$-type doping are highly desirable for high-energy power electronic devices. Recent studies indicate that $\rm…

P mono-doped and (P, N) co-doped ZnO are investigated by the first-principles calculations. It is found that substitutive P defect forms a deep acceptor level at O site (PO) and it behaves as a donor at Zn site (PZn), while interstitial P…

Point defects in Ga- and Al-doped ZnO thin films are studied by means of first principles electronic structure calculations. Candidate defects are identified to explain recently observed differences in electrical and spectroscopical…

We report first-principles calculations that clarify the formation energies and charge transition levels of native point defects (Ga and O vacancies, interstitials, and a Ga vacancy-O vacancy pair) in corundum structured ${\alpha}$-Ga2O3.…

The formation energies and transition energy levels of native defects in hexagonal BN have been studied by first-principles calculations based on hybrid density functional theory (DFT) together with an empirical dispersion correction of…

First-principles density-functional calculations have been performed for zinc monochalcogenides with zinc-blende- and wurtzite-type structures. It is shown that the local-density approximation underestimates the band gap, misplaces the…

This study investigates the ground-state energetics and thermodynamics of intrinsic point defects in zinc phosphide Zn$_3$P$_2$ using \emph{ab initio} density functional theory combined with an extensive potential energy landscape search.…

Hybrid functional calculations reveal the Zn-O divacancy in ZnO, consisting of adjacent Zn and O vacancies, as an electrically active defect exhibiting charge states ranging from $2+$ to $2-$ within the band gap. Notably, the divacancy…

The self-interaction corrected local spin-density approximation is used to investigate the ground-state valency configuration of transition metal (TM=Mn, Co) impurities in p-type ZnO. Based on the total energy considerations, we find a…

We determine atomic and electronic structure, formation energy, stability and magnetic properties of native point defects, such as Gallium (Ga) and Nitrogen (N) vacancies in bulk and at non-polar (10$\overline{1}$0) surface of wurtzite…

The semiconducting behaviour and optoelectronic response of gallium nitride is governed by point defect processes, which, despite many years of research, remain poorly understood. The key difficulty in the description of the dominant…

The presence of defects in the narrow-gap semiconductors GaSb and InSb affects their dopability and hence applicability for a range of optoelectronic applications. Here, we report hybrid density functional theory based calculations of the…

Several approaches have been used to investigate the impact of Nitrogen (N) on the electronic structure of GaAs$_{1-x}$N$_{x}$ alloys, however, there is no agreement between theory and experiments about the importance of the different N…

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) based materials are widely used in many applications. Yet, due to a lack of detailed knowledge of defect energy levels, the electrical properties and luminescence mechanisms in the materials still give rise to debate.…
