Structural and Electronic Structure of SnO2 by the First-Principle Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

We performed first-principle calculations to investigate the effects of F, Cl and Sb impurities on the electronic properties of SnO2. We obtained, firstly, the electronic structure of SnO2, a valence band maximum of SnO2 is an O 2p orbital and a conduction band minimum was an antibonding Sn 5s and O 2p orbitals dominantly. Secondly, those impurites doped SnO2 was obtained the electronic structure. The F, Cl and Sb impurities as n-type dopants exhibited shallow donors. This calculation results were in good agreement with our prvious experiment that we obtained the low resistivity SnO2.
