The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The properties of di-interstitial (I2), tri-interstitial (I3) and tetra-interstitial (I4) structures in silicon were studied by employing first principles local-density-functional (LDF) theory. A tri-interstitial defect can account for many of the fundamental properties of the I1/W-optical center which is observed in irradiated, annealed silicon. Energy comparisons between di-interstitial defects reveal four low-energy structures within 0.5 eV of each other.
