First-principles mobility prediction for amorphous semiconductors
PHYSICAL REVIEW B(2022)
摘要
Carrier mobility in amorphous semiconductors remained unpredictable due to random electronic states in the absence of the long-range order in a lattice structure, although amorphous semiconductors have been investigated over several decades and widely used in diverse electronic devices. In this work, we develop a method to predict mobility of disordered systems by virtue of the first-principles calculation without using any empirical parameters. Quantum transport modeling based on the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism enables us to establish a formula to connect first-principles results with amorphous-phase mobility. Finally, the developed approach is quantitatively validated by comparing the theoretical predictions with previously measured mobilities of amorphous metal oxides (SnO2, In2O3, and ZnO) and amorphous silicon. Localization analysis provides further physical insight into a distinct feature between the amorphous metal oxides and amorphous silicon.
