摘要: This paper studies the electronic structure and native defects in transparent conducting oxides CuScO$_{2}$ and CuYO$_{2}$ using the first-principle calculations. Some typical native copper-related and oxygen-related defects, such as vacancy, interstitials, and antisites in their relevant charge state are considered. The results of calculation show that, Cu$M$O$_{2}$($M=$ Sc, Y) is impossible to show n-type conductivity ability. It finds that copper vacancy and oxygen interstitial have relatively low formation energy and they are the relevant defects in CuScO$_{2}$ and CuYO$_{2}$. Copper vacancy is the most efficient acceptor, and under O-rich condition oxygen antisite also becomes important acceptor and plays an important role in p-type conductivity.
