| Abstract: | The structural,electronic properties and formation energies of sulfur and alkaline earth codoped delafossite CuAlO_2 have been investigated using the first-principles density functional theory calculations.Our results reveal that the volume of codoping systems increases with the increasing atomic radius of metal atoms.The formation energies under different growth conditions have been calculated,showing that the codoping systems are formed easily under O-rich growth conditions.Electronic band structures and density of states have been obtained.The decreased bandgaps,enhanced covalence and appearance of electron acceptors after codoping are all good for p-type conductivity. |
