摘要
Based on first-principles calculations, (Sb, N) codoped ZnO are investigated. We find that Sb-Zn-4N(O) have lower formation energy and can form p-type conduction with smaller hole effective mass. In comparation to monodoping of Sb, Sb-Zn-4N(O) complex can form better p-type conductivity than Sb-Zn-2V(Zn), which may be strongly compensated by Sb-Zn defect and result in a decrease of p-type conduction. So we inferred that (Sb, N) codoping in ZnO under O-poor condition should be a realizable candidate of p-type conduction. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
