摘要
The chemical trends of limits to doping of many semiconducting metal oxides is analyzed in terms of the formation energies needed to form the compensating defects. The n-type oxides are found to have high electron affinities and charge neutrality levels that lie in midgap or the upper part of their gap, whereas p-type oxides have small photoionization potentials and charge neutrality levels lying in the lower gap. The doping-limit energy range is found to vary with the bulk free energy of the compound.
