Abstract

Electronic properties of ZnSe with a Li impurity are investigated with use of the local-density-functional approach. The electronic structures are calculated for different impurity sites by taking the neighboring lattice relaxation into account. By comparing their total energies, the stability of the Li impurity in ZnSe is discussed. It is proposed that the Li impurity at the substitutional Zn site might be unstable to the tetrahedral interstitial site with an ionization of Li and a vacancy at the Zn site.
