Abstract
In this paper, the revised Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof screened hybrid functional (HSE06) is used to investigate the interaction between hydrogen with different concentrations and gallium vacancies in β-Ga2O3. The hydrogen can compensate a gallium vacancy by forming hydrogen-vacancy complex. A gallium vacancy can bind up to four hydrogen atoms, and formation energies decrease as the number of hydrogen atoms increases. Hydrogen prefers to bind with three coordinated oxygen. The bonding energy and annealing temperatures of complexes containing more than two hydrogen atoms are computed, and show relatively high stability. In addition, vacancy concentrations increase with the increasing vapor pressures. This paper can effectively explain the hydrogen impact in β-Ga2O3.Keywords
