Abstract: | Doping wide-gap materials p type is highly desirable but often difficult. This makes the recent discovery of p-type delafossite oxides, CuM(III)O2, very attractive. The CuM(III)O2 also show unique and unexplained physical properties: Increasing band gap from M(III) = Al,Ga, to In, not seen in conventional semiconductors. The largest gap CuInO2 can be mysteriously doped both n and p type but not the smaller gaps CuAlO2 and CuGaO2. Here, we show that both properties are results of a large disparity between the fundamental gap and the apparent optical gap, a finding that could lead to a breakthrough in the study of bipolarly dopable wide-gap semiconductor oxides. |
