Controlling Schottky defects in nanomaterials involves several strategies:
Temperature Control: As the defect concentration is temperature-dependent, precise control of the processing temperature can help manage the number of defects. Doping: Introducing dopants can alter the defect formation energy, thus influencing the concentration of Schottky defects. Nanostructuring: The synthesis method and the resulting nanostructures can also play a role in the distribution and concentration of defects.
