Anti-doping in Insulators and Semiconductors having Intermediate Bands with Trapped Carriers

Qihang Liu, Gustavo M. Dalpian, Alex Zunger

Ordinary doping by electrons (holes) generally means that the Fermi level shifts towards the conduction band (valence band) and that the conductivity of free carriers increases. Re…
