Abinitio study of oxygen point defects in GaAs, GaN, and AlN

Open access

Abstract

We have studied oxygen point defects with the plane-wave pseudopotential method in GaAs, GaN, and AlN. The calculations demonstrate a qualitatively different behavior of oxygen impurities in these materials. ${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{As}}$ in GaAs acts as a deep center with an off-center displacement and negative-U behavior, in agreement with the experimental data. ${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{N}}$ in GaN is found to be a shallow donor with a low formation energy, and is suggested to act as a partial source for the unintentional n-type conductivity commonly observed in GaN. O in AlN is also found to easily substitute for N, which is consistent with the experimentally observed large oxygen concentrations in AlN. However, ${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{N}}$ in AlN is shown to be a deep center due to the wide band gap, in contrast with ${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{N}}$ in GaN. Our calculations thus predict that isolated oxygen acts as a DX-type center in ${\mathrm{Al}}_{\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$N alloys. Results for other oxygen point defect configurations and for the dominant native defects are also presented. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
