Abstract:
This work presents positive experimental evidence for the formation of a carbon-nitrogen complex in ZnO, which was theoretically predicted previously. A very high nitrogen content up to ~8 at% can be doped into ZnO nanostructures via the formation of a carbon-nitrogen complex, which in turn suppresses the formation of a nitrogen acceptor.
