(color online) Calculated K VB offset , CB offset , and band-gap energy . Energies are in units of eV referenced to (ZnO) = 0 eV with an estimated error bar of eV. Thick (red) lines show T = 300 K results from UPS and optical characterization with eV error bar. (Blue) marks depict calculated ionization energies -{}(0/–) of N acceptors, where ) represents N with a (with no) neighboring Zn–S bond. The strong VB-offset bowing renders the ZnO-like N acceptors thus shallow. Measured ZnO:N ionization energy is eV.^[23]
