Electronic structure models of phosphorus 0-doped silicon

We report a density-functional theory treatment of phosphorus 0-doped silicon. Using large asymmetric unit cells with up to 800 atoms, we obtain first-principles doping potentials, band energies, and donor-electron distributions. The explicit and nonempirical description of both valence and donor el...

description We report a density-functional theory treatment of phosphorus 0-doped silicon. Using large asymmetric unit cells with up to 800 atoms, we obtain first-principles doping potentials, band energies, and donor-electron distributions. The explicit and nonempirical description of both valence and donor electrons improves upon previous models of this system. The effects of overlapping 0-doping potentials in smaller systems are adequately captured using a uniform band alignment shift.
