摘要
The first-principles with pseudopotentials method based on the density functional theory was applied to calculate the geometric structure, the formation energy of impurities and the electronic structure of Li-doped ZnO. In the system of Li-doped ZnO, Li-Zn, can not result in lattice distortion. In contrast with that case, Li-O and Li-i result in lattice distortion after Li doping in ZnO. In Li-doped ZnO, Li-O is the most unstable than the other cases. Simultaneously, Li-i is more stable than Li-Zn according to that Li-i has smaller formation energy. Furthermore, the electronic structure of Li-doped ZnO indicates that that Li-Zn behaves as acceptor, while Li-i behaves as donor. In conclusion, in Li-doped ZnO, Li-i is always in the system to compensate the acceptor. Singly doping Li in ZnO is difficult to gain p-ZnO for the self-compensation. The results are in good agreement with other calculated and experimental results.
