Doping of SnO2 with H atoms: An alternative way to attain n-type conductivity

We propose an explanation for the origin of n-type electrical conductivity in SnO2 based on the results obtained from the DFT+U simulations. Two competitive intrinsic point defects, namely oxygen vacancy and hydrogen impurity, have been considered at different positions within the crystalline lattic...
