In the paper defect formation energies for a TlInSe2 have been investigated using the first-principles total energy calculations. Calculation has been done for the five charge states +2, +1, 0,-1,-2. We defined formation energies of vacancy VTl, VIn, VSe in TlInSe2 consisting of 48 atoms as a function of the Fermi energy. The results of the calculations show that with the transition from a negative charged defect states to a positive defect states, the width of the forbidden gap increases for each vacancy. The Se vacancy defect has the lowest formation energy, as compared with that of other defects.
