摘要

This study employs first-principles density functional theory (DFT) to systematically explore the electronic structure and optical properties of β-Ga2O3 doped with Sn, N, and Sn-N co-doped at varying concentrations. The results indicate that, compared to pristine β-Ga2O3, all doping configurations induce lattice distortions, with the Sn-N co-doped system experiencing the most significant changes. As the doping concentration increases, the band gap of the system gradually narrows, with the Sn-3N co-doped system reaching the lowest band gap of 1.30 eV, which substantially reduces the energy required for electronic transitions. Furthermore, the 5 at% co-doped system exhibits the highest static dielectric constant (3.48), demonstrating the strongest polarization ability. The absorption spectrum shows a distinct red shift, with enhanced absorption in the 150–400 nm range and extending into the visible region. Results demonstrate that the Sn-N co-doped strategy offers a novel pathway for modulating the optoelectronic properties of β-Ga2O3, providing important insights for expanding its applications in optoelectronic devices.
