Stabilization of semiconductor surfaces through bulk dopants

We show by employing density-functional theory calculations (including a hybrid functional) that ZnO surfaces can be stabilized by bulk dopants. As an example, we study the bulk-terminated ZnO ( $000\bar{1}$ ) surface covered with half a monolayer of hydrogen. We demonstrate that deviations from thi...
