摘要
Large-scale and gap error free calculations of the electronic structure of vacancies in 4H-SiC have been carried out using a hybrid density functional (HSE06) and an accurate charge correction scheme. Based on the results the carbon vacancy is proposed to be responsible for the Z(1/2) and EH6/7 DLTS centers.
