Defect structure of Zn-doped ZnO
Abstract
A defect structure model has been proposed for Zn-doped ZnO. Two donors, a native donor Zn i, and an unknown donor D, and a native acceptor, VZn, have been suggested as the major defects. The model does account for the experimentally determined relationship between the concentration of electrons and the partial pressure of Zn. The unknown donor could be frozen-in oxygen vacancy, VO, which thermodynamically cannot be distinguished from a foreign donor.
