摘要： The electronic structures and optical properties of intrinsic β-Ga2O3 and Zn-doped β-Ga2O3 are investigated by first-principles calculations. The analysis about the thermal stability shows that Zn-doped β-Ga2O3 remains stable. The Zn doping does not change the basic electronic structure of β-Ga2O3, but only generates an empty energy level above the maximum of valence band, which is shallow enough to make the Zn-doped β-Ga2O3 a typical p-type semiconductor. Because of Zn doping, absorption and reflectivity are enhanced in the near infrared region. The higher absorption and reflectivity of ZnGa(2) than those of ZnGa(1) are due to more empty energy states of ZnGa(2) than those of ZnGa(1) near Ef in the near infrared region.
