Density functional theory with local density approximation including on-site Coulomb interaction has been used to calculate the formation energy of the neutral and charged vacancy in germanium as a function of the Fermi level. The calculations suggest that vacancies in germanium are multiple-level acceptors with a fir…

Residual stresses develop in the sol-gel-derived ferroelectric thin films during the transformation of the metal-organic gel to the metal oxide upon thermal treatment and due to the thermal and elastic mismatch between the Pb(Zrx,Ti1−x)O3 (PZT) film and the substrate materials during cooling. In this study, residual s…
