Abstract

ABSTRACTWe present ab-initio calculations on energetics and geometries of atomic hydrogen, of several candidate acceptors, and of H-acceptor complexes in wurtzite GaN For the H-Mg complex in Mg-doped GaN, we calculate the vibrational frequencies of H. Hydrogen is found to be a negative-U center. H-acceptor complex formation is always exothermic. Substitutional Be has a low formation energy and a shallow impurity level, which makes it a good candidate for p-doping in MBE growth. CN appears not to be shallow. Atomic hydrogen incorporation in undoped GaN is disfavored in an H2 atmosphere; it becomes favorable in p and n-type conditions in atomic H environments.
