研究了氧在InN(0001)面的吸附结构.结果表明,吸附能随着氧覆盖度的增加而减小,0.25MLs氧吸附在INN(0001)-(2×2)衬底上的H3位是最稳定的吸附结构.对不同的表面缺陷,氧占据氮位比较稳定.氧的掺人很可能是造成InN的高载流子浓度和带隙变化的重要原因.
First-principles calculations are performed to study the various structures of oxygen (O) adsorbed on InN (001) surfaces.It is found that the formation energy of O on InN(0001)decreases with decreasing oxygen coverage.Of all the adsorbate induced surface structures examined .the structure of InN(0001)(2.2)as caused by O adsorption at the H3 sites with 0.25 monolayers coverage is most energetically favorable .Meanwhile .nitrogen (N) vacaney can form spontaneously.Oxygen atoms may also substitute N atoms.or accumulate at the voids inside InN film or simply stay on the surface during growth.The oxygen impurity then acts as a potential source for the n-type conductivity of InN as well as the large energy band gap measured.
