First-principles calculations of charged defectshave become a cornerstone of research in semiconductors and insulators byproviding insights into their fundamental physical properties. But currentstandard approach using the so-called “jellium model” has encountered bothconceptual ambiguity and computational difficulty, especially forlow-dimensional semiconducting materials. In this presentation, we propose aphysical, straightforward, and dimension-independent universal model tocalculate the formation energies of charged defects in both three-dimensional(3D) bulk and low-dimensional semiconductors. Within this model, the ionizedelectrons or holes are placed on the realistic host band-edge states instead ofthe virtual jellium state, therefore, rendering it not only naturally keeps thesupercell charge neutral, but also has clear physical meaning. This realisticmodel reproduces the same accuracy as the traditional jellium model for most ofthe 3D semiconducting materials, and remarkably, for the low-dimensionalstructures, it is able to cure the divergence caused by the artificiallong-range electrostatic energy introduced in the jellium model, and hence givesmeaningful formation energies of defects in charged state and transition energylevels of the corresponding defects. Our realistic method, therefore, will havesignificant impact for the study of defect physics in all low-dimensionalsystems including quantum dots, nanowires, surfaces, interfaces, and 2Dmaterials.
