AbstractNative point defect densities (including vacancies, antisites and interstitials) in ZnSe are calculated using a quasichemical formalism, including both vibrational and electronic contributions to the defect free energy. The electronic contribution to the defect formation free energy is calculated using the self-consistent first-principles full-potential linearized muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method and the local-density approximation (LDA). Gradient corrections are included so that absolute reference to zinc atoms in the vapor phase can be made. We find that the Frenkel defect formation energy is ∼0.3 eV lower at a stacking fault than in the bulk lattice. Nonradiative-recombination-induced Frenkel defect generation at stacking faults is proposed as a mechanism responsible for the limited device lifetimes.
