摘要: We have investigated the formation energies and electronic structure of native defects in ZnO by a first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method. When p-type conditions are assumed, donor-type can be quite low. The effect self-compensation should significant doping. Under n-type conditions, oxygen vacancy exhibits lowest energy among defects. structure, however, implies that only zinc interstitial or antisite explain conductivity undoped ZnO.
