摘要
Formation energies, charge transitions levels, and quasiparticle defect states of the tellurium antisite (Te-Cd)(TeCd) in CdTe are addressed within the DFT + GW formalism. We find that (Te-Cd) induces a (+2/0) deep level at 0.99 eV above the valence band maximum, exhibiting a negative-U effect. Moreover, the calculated zero-phonon line for the excited state of (Te-Cd)(0) corresponds closely with the similar to 1.1 eV band, visible in both luminescence and absorption experiments. Our results differ from previous theoretical studies, mainly due to the well-known band gap error and the incorrect position of the band edges predicted by standard DFT calculations.
