The effect of gallium vacancy (VGa) and nitrogen vacancy (VN) defects on the electronic structure and optical properties of GaN using the generalized gradient approximation method within the density functional theory were investigated. The results show that the band gap increases in GaN with vacancy defects. Crystal parameters decrease in GaN with nitrogen vacancy (GaN:VN) and increase in GaN with gallium vacancy (GaN:VGa). The Ga vacancy introduces defect levels at the top of the valence band, and the defect levels are contributed by N2p electron states. In addition, the energy band shifts to lower energy in GaN:VNand moves to higher energy in GaN:VGa. The level splitting is observed in the N2p states of GaN:VNand Ga3d states of GaN:VGa. New peaks appear in lower energy region of imaginary dielectric function in GaN:VNand GaN:VGa. The main peak moves to higher energy slightly and the intensity decreases.

ABSTRACTA nitrogen vacancy in zinc-blende structure gallium nitride (c-GaN) is investigated by the plane-wave pseudopotential (PWPP) and tight binding-linear combination of muffin tin orbitals (TB-LMTO) methods using 32- and 64- atom supercells. The relaxation of the nearest Ga atom to the vacancy site is found to be inward by 0.069 a.u., with a relaxation energy of 0.04 eV/N-atom vacancy. The shell-projected, total and partial densities of states and the charge density maps are obtained to provide detailed information on energy and spatial localization of the N vacancy states.
