摘要
We perform first-principles pseudopotential calculations to explain the difference in nitrogen-doping levels between ZnSe and ZnTe. Calculating the formation energies for various N-related and native defects, rye estimate the hole carrier density in ZnSe to be about 10(18) cm(-3), in good agreement with experiments. In ZnTe, the formation energy of a N acceptor is found to be lower by about 0.13 eV, thus, the hole carrier density is higher by about 5 times, compared with ZnSe. At high doping levels above 10(19) cm(-3), the doping efficiency falls rapidly due to the neutralization by inert N-2 molecules or the compensation effect by split-interstitial N-N complexes, depending on stoichiometry.
