Effect of intentional chemical doping on crystallographic and electric properties of the pyrochlore Bi2Sn2O7

The development of p-type oxide semiconductors is challenging owing to the localized nature of the valence band maximum (VBM), which primarily comprises O 2p orbitals. Although some Sn2+-based pyrochlore-type oxides (A2B2O7) with VBMs comprising spatially spread Sn 5s orbitals show p-type semiconduc...
