Generalized Algorithm for Recognition of Complex Point Defects in Large-Scale β-Ga_2O_3
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The electrical and optical properties of semiconductor materials are
profoundly influenced by the atomic configurations and concentrations of
intrinsic defects. This influence is particularly significant in the case of
β-Ga_2O_3, a vital ultrawide bandgap semiconductor characterized
by highly complex intrinsic defect configurations. Despite its importance,
there is a notable absence of an accurate method to recognize these defects in
large-scale atomistic computational modeling. In this work, we present an
effective algorithm designed explicitly for identifying various intrinsic point
defects in the β-Ga_2O_3 lattice. By integrating particle swarm
optimization and hierarchical clustering methods, our algorithm attains a
recognition accuracy exceeding 95
Furthermore, we have developed an efficient technique for randomly generating
diverse intrinsic defects in large-scale β-Ga_2O_3 systems. This
approach facilitates the construction of an extensive atomic database,
crucially instrumental in validating the recognition algorithm through a
substantial number of statistical analyses. Finally, the recognition algorithm
is applied to a molecular dynamics simulation, accurately describing the
evolution of the point defects during high-temperature annealing. Our work
provides a useful tool for investigating the complex dynamical evolution of
intrinsic point defects in β-Ga_2O_3, and moreover, holds promise
for understanding similar material systems, such as Al_2O_3, In_2O_3, and Sb_2O_3.
