With the help of first-principles calculations, we investigate the VZn–NO–H acceptor complex in ZnO. We find that H plays an important role, because it lowers the formation energy of the complex with respect to VZn–NO, a complex known to exhibit p-type behavior. However, this additional H atom also occupies the hole level of VZn–NO making the VZn–NO–H complex a deep acceptor.

Codoping Method

By using first principles calculations, we propose a codoping method of using acceptors and donors simultaneously to realize low-resistivity and high carrier concentration p-type ZnS with wurtzite structure. The ionization energy of singleNScan be lowered by introducing theIIIZn-NS(III = Al, Ga, In) passivation system. Codoping method in ZnS (2N, III) has lower formation energy comparing with single doping of N since III elements act as reactive codopants.

First-principles calculations have been used to comparatively investigate electronic and magnetic properties of nitrogen-doped (N-doped) nonmagnetic semiconductor perovskite-type stannate (MSnO3, M = Ca, Sr, Ba). A total magnetic moment of 1.0 [Formula: see text] induced by N is found in MSnO3 supercell with one N dopant. The spontaneous polarization mainly originates from spin splitting on [Formula: see text] state of N. The medium-sized formation energy shows that the N-doped MSnO3 can be realized experimentally under the metal-rich environments, but the clustering tendency and short-range coupling imply that the stannate matrices are unsuitable for magnetizing by substituting N for O. Our study offers a fresh sight of spontaneous spin polarization in [Formula: see text] magnetism. The FM coupling in N-doped MSnO3 should be attributed to the hole-mediated [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] coupling mechanism.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the properties of Be dopants in GaN using first principles calculations. Substitutional Be on a Ga site acts as an acceptor, but interstitial Be poses a potential problem because of its low formation energy and donor character. We study the diffusion of interstitial Be and find it to be highly anisotropic. We also study the formation of complexes between substitutional and interstitial Be, and between substitutional Be and hydrogen. We have calculated the Be-H vibrational modes to aid in experimental identification of such complexes.

The effects of Cu addition on the crystal structure, phase stability and magnetic properties of Ni8Mn4-xGa4Cux (x=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys are systematically investigated by first-principles calculations. The formation energy results indicate that the added Cu preferentially occupies the Mn sites in Ni2MnGa alloy. The formation energy results indicate that ferromagnetic austenite is more stable than the paramagnetic one. The ferromagnetic state becomes instable and paramagnetic state becomes more stable when Mn is gradual substituted by Cu. Furthermore, the electronic density of states gives rise to the difference in the magnetic properties.
