[Pw_forum] calculation of transition level

[kajal jindal]

Hi,

I want to calculate the transition level with Nitrogen doping in ZnO. For
that, I have to calculate the total energy of the defect by substituting O
by N in the neutral and single negative (1- ) charge states. I don't have
much idea on how to proceed with the calculation of energy in different
charge states. I think that in my scf calculation file, within the atomic
species I have to use the atomic mass of Nitrogen itself and pseudopotential
of oxygen in place of single negative N state. I am really confused as is
this the right way for charged species or are there different
pseudopotential for ions.Can anybody please guide me in doing so???

sincerely,
