In addition, the oxygen vacancy in N-doped PbTiO3 is also discussed. After the nitrogen dopant is introduced into the crystal, the N-doped PbTiO3 system is spin-polarized, the spin-down valance bands move to a high energy level and the Fermi energy level moves to the top of the valance bands, finally the band gap is narrowed. In this process, the N-doped PbTiO3 shows typical p-type semiconductor characteristics. When an oxygen vacancy and N impurity coexist in PbTiO3, there is no spin-polarized phenomenon. The conduction bands move downward and the acceptors are found to be fully compensated. The calculation results are mostly consistent with the experimental data.展开更多

Zn-doped SnO2 is a p-type semiconductor material, whose Fermi level shifts into the valence band when Zn atoms substitute Sn atoms, and the unoccupied states on the top of the valence band come from Zn 3d and O 2p states. Sn vacancies increase the relative hole number of Zn-doped SnO2, which results in a possible increase in the conductivity of Zn-doped SnO2. The Zn-doped SnO2 shows distinct visible light absorption, the increased absorption can be seen apparently with the presence of Sn vacancies in the crystal, and the blue-shift of optical spectra can be observed.展开更多
