Abstract

We present a theoretical formalism to investigate doping efficiencies of impurities in semiconductors, and show results for various acceptor impurities (Li, Na and N) in ZnSe. These results, obtained from first-principles calculations, yield important insights in the mechanisms that govern impurity formation energies and solubilities.
