الوصف: The ternary zinc nitrides CaZn 2 N 2 and SrZn 2 N 2 are promising materials for solar energy conversion because their direct band gaps are tunable to optimal values, and they contain only earth-abundant elements. We report first-principles calculations with a focus on defect chemistry and propose a method of synthesis for SrZn 2 N 2 . Our calculations reveal that although the N vacancy has a relatively low formation energy among the native defects in SrZn 2 N 2 and shows deep levels within the band gap, its concentration can be sufficiently reduced by controlled crystal growth and extrinsic doping. The SrZn 2 N 2 powder was synthesized by NH 3 nitridation of the SrZn 2 alloy at 600 °C and atmospheric pressure. We experimentally determined the direct band gap of SrZn 2 N 2 to be 1.6 eV, consistent with our theoretical prediction.
