摘要： The electronic structures and optical properties of B3 ZnO series of Zn$_{4}$$X_{4-y}M_{y}$($X=$O, S, Se or Te; $M=N$, Sb, Cl or I; $y=0$ or 1) are studied by first-principles calculations using a pseudopotential plane-wave method. The results show that Zn d-$X$ p orbital interactions play an important role in the p-type doping tendency in zinc-based II-VI semiconductors. In Zn$X$, with increasing atomic number of $X$, Zn d-$X$ p orbital interactions decrease and Zn s-$X$ p orbital interactions increase. Additionally, substituting group-V elements for $X$ will reduce the Zn d-$X$ p orbital interactions while substituting group-VII elements for $X$ will increase the Zn d-$X$ p orbital interactions. The results also show that group-V-doped Zn$X$ and group-VII-doped Zn$X$ exhibit different optical behaviours due to their different orbital interaction effects.
