Research paperComputational DFTBand StructureDefect CalculationElectronic structure and defect properties of Bi-doped GaN: origins of photoluminescence and optical absorptionYujie Liu, Ishtiaque Ahmed Navid, Zetian Mi, Emmanouil KioupakisarXiv preprint·2025·10.60893/figshare.apl.c.8459181·arXiv:2507.01346AbstractWe apply hybrid density functional theory to systematically explore substitutional bismuth atoms on cationic (BiGa) and anionic (BiN) sites in Bi-incorporated GaN, as well as their complexes with native vacancies. The calculations reveal that the charge-compensated (BiN +VGa)3− and (BiN +VGa)3+ defect complexes stabilize anionic bismuth incorporation, accounting for experimentally observed absorption peaks at 1.11 eV and 3.17 eV. The work further examines the origins of reported band-edge emissions near 2.0 eV and 2.5 eV by evaluating different charge states of BiGa and BiN centers.Read more
