第一性原理计算In $_2$ O $_3$ - II中缺陷的结构和有限温度丰度

Structures and finite-temperature abundances of defects in In$_2$O$_3$-II from first-principles calculations

Jamie M. Wynn, Richard J. Needs, Andrew J. Morris

摘要:

用从头算随机结构搜索(AIRSS)方法研究了In $_2$ O $_3$中的本征缺陷复合物.我们的第一性原理密度泛函理论计算预测几种新的缺陷结构的热力学稳定性。我们结合了静态晶格能和谐波振动能与经常被忽视的构型熵来构建自由能,该自由能被最小化以预测在有限温度下的缺陷丰度。我们预测,我们的一些新的缺陷结构-特别是我们的{In,2 V $_\mathrm{O}$ }和{2 In,3V $_\mathrm{O}$ }缺陷-可以在有限的温度下以显着的丰度存在,它们的电子态密度表明,它们可能在In $_2$ O $_3$中观察到的n型电荷载流子的意外高密度中发挥重要作用。

英文摘要:

We have studied intrinsic defect complexes in In$_2$O$_3$ using ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS). Our first-principles density-functional-theory calculations predict the thermodynamic stability of several novel defect structures. We combine the static lattice energy and harmonic vibrational energy with the often-neglected configurational entropy to construct the free energy, which is minimised to predict defect abundances at finite temperatures. We predict that some of our new defect structures - in particular our {In,2V$_\mathrm{O}$} and {2In,3V$_\mathrm{O}$} defects - can exist in significant abundances at finite temperatures, and their densities of electronic states indicate that they could play an important role in the unexpectedly high density of n-type charge carriers observed in In$_2$O$_3$.
