摘要

The surface O or Zn vacancy of ZnO is extremely important, so in this paper we have studied the structural and electronic properties of the ZnO (0001?) (√3 × √3)-R30° O-polar surface with O vacancy and (0001) (√3 × √3)-R30° Zn-polar surface with Zn vacancy comparatively using the first-principles calculations. For the former case, the topmost oxygen atoms relax outward and the angle between ZnOZn bonds in the topmost double-layer decreases to 105.01° with respect to the unrelaxed surface. However, for the latter case, the topmost zinc atoms relax inward and the angle between OZnO bonds in the topmost double-layer increases to 117.61° with respect to the unrelaxed surface. Both the two reconstructed surfaces become semiconducting property in contrast to the metallic property of the unreconstructed surface. The calculated surface vacancy formation energy (E~v_f) indicates that the surface with O vacancy is slightly more easier to be formed compared to the surface with Zn vacancy. By employing the technique of ab initio atomistic thermodynamics, we calculated the surface Gibbs free energy to determine the lowest-energy structure, indicating that the surface with O vacancy is more stable than the surface with Zn vacancy under the oxygen poor condition.
