Dear users,

I am interested in calculating the charged defect formation energy of
substitutional metal dopant Sn doped in Ti site in TiO2 system with Ti
vacancy using the formula mentioned below.

𝐸 𝑑𝑒𝑓 [𝑋 𝑞 ] = 𝐸 tot [𝑋 𝑞 ] − 𝐸 tot [bulk] -  𝑛 𝑖 (𝐸 𝑖 + 𝜇
𝑖 ) + 𝑞[𝐸 VBM (perfect) + 𝐸 𝐹 ] + Δ𝐸 corr .

I am not sure which one should be the reference system (𝐸 tot [bulk]) in
this case. Is it the pristine TiO2 structure *or* TiO2 with Ti vacancy.
Also, in this case ni for Ti metal should 2, is that correct?
Can someone clarify for me.
