- 1. Phys. Rev. B 75, 085439 (2007) , “Real-space investigation of fast diffusion of hydrogen on Si(001) by a combination of nanosecond laser heating and STM”, C. H. Schwalb, M. Lawrenz, M. Dürr,, and U. HöferThe rearrangement of silicon dangling bonds induced by pulsed laser heating of monohydride-covered Si(001) surfaces has been studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The initial configurations, which were created by laser-induced thermal desorption, consist of isolated pairs of... (Read more)
- 2. Phys. Rev. B 75, 075206 (2007) , “Isotope dependence of the vibrational lifetimes of light impurities in Si from first principles”, D. West and S. K. EstreicherThe vibrational lifetimes of a range of H-related defects and interstitial O (Oi) in Si, including isotopic substitutions, are calculated from first principles as a function of temperature. The theoretical approach is explained in detail. The vibrational lifetimes of... (Read more)
- 3. Phys. Rev. B 75, 073409 (2007) , “Why thermal H2 molecules adsorb on SiC(001)-c(4×2) and not on SiC(001)-(3×2) at room temperature”, Xiangyang Peng, Peter Krüger, and Johannes PollmannIn a recent experiment, Derycke et al. have made the exciting observation that H2 molecules readily adsorb dissociatively on the c(4×2) but not on the 3×2 surface of SiC(001) at room temperature. To unravel this spectacular reactivity difference, we have investigated a... (Read more)
- 4. Appl. Phys. Lett. 88, 162107 (2006) , “Physical origin of threshold voltage problems in polycrystalline silicon/HfO2 gate stacks”, Dae Yeon Kim, Joongoo Kang, and K. J. ChangBased on theoretical calculations, we find that at p+ polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si)/HfO2 gates, Si interstitials are easily migrated from the electrode, forming HfSi bonds with a charge transfer to the electrode, and the resulting interface dipole raises the Fermi level...

- 5. Appl. Phys. Lett. 88, 153518 (2006) , “Negative bias temperature instability mechanism: The role of molecular hydrogen”, Anand T. Krishnan, Srinivasan Chakravarthi, Paul Nicollian, Vijay Reddy, and Srikanth KrishnanThe role of dimerization of atomic hydrogen to give molecular hydrogen in determining negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) kinetics is explored analytically. The time dependency of NBTI involving molecular hydrogen was found to obey a power law with a slope of 1/6, as opposed to the 1/4... (Read more)
- 6. Phys. Rev. B 74, 193405 (2006) , “Role of charge in destabilizing AlH4 and BH4 complex anions for hydrogen storage applications: Ab initio density functional calculations”, A. J. Du, Sean C. Smith, and G. Q. LuNaAlH4 and LiBH4 are potential candidate materials for mobile hydrogen storage applications, yet they have the drawback of being highly stable and desorbing hydrogen only at elevated temperatures. In this letter, ab initio density functional theory calculations reveal... (Read more)
- 7. J. Appl. Phys. 97, 053704 (2005) , “The role of nitrogen-related defects in high-k dielectric oxides: Density-functional studies”, J. L. Gavartin, A. L. Shluger, A. S. Foster, G. I. BersukerUsing ab initio density-functional total energy and molecular-dynamics simulations, we study the effects of various forms of nitrogen postdeposition anneal (PDA) on the electric properties of hafnia in the context of its application as a gate dielectric in field-effect transistors. We... (Read more)
- 8. Phys. Rev. B 71, 035213 (2005) , “Possibility for the electrical activation of the carbon antisite by hydrogen in SiC”, A. Gali, P. Deák, N. T. Son, and E. JanzénCalculations predict the carbon antisite to be the most abundant intrinsic defect in silicon carbide in a wide range of doping. The isolated carbon antisite is, however, optically and electronically inactive, therefore, difficult to observe by usual experimental techniques. However, CSi... (Read more)
- 9. Phys. Rev. B 69, 233202 (2004) , “Diffusion of hydrogen in perfect, p-type doped, and radiation-damaged 4H-SiC”, B. Aradi, P. De?k, A. Gali, N. T. Son, E. Janz?nThe diffusion of interstitial atomic hydrogen in 4H-SiC was investigated theoretically, using the local density approximation of density functional theory. We have found that the diffusion barrier in the perfect crystal is 0.6 eV. Comparing this value with the calculated zero point vibration... (Read more)
- 10. Phys. Rev. B 68, 085202 (2003) , “Physics and chemistry of hydrogen in the vacancies of semiconductors”, Bernadett Szûcs, Adam Gali, Zoltán Hajnal, Peter Deák, and Chris G. Van de WalleHydrogen is well known to cause electrical passivation of lattice vacancies in semiconductors. This effect follows from the chemical passivation of the dangling bonds. Recently it was found that H in the carbon vacancy of SiC forms a three-center bond with two silicon neighbors in the vacancy, and... (Read more)
- 11. Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 205502 (2002) , “Metastability of Amorphous Silicon from Silicon Network Rebonding”, R. Biswas, B. C. Pan, and Y. Y. YeWe propose a network rebonding model for light-induced metastability in amorphous silicon, involving bonding rearrangements of silicon and hydrogen atoms. Nonradiative recombination breaks weak silicon bonds and generates dangling bond?floating bond pairs, with very low activation energies. The... (Read more)

ChoykeBased on ab initio density-functional calculations in supercells of 3C-SiC, the stable configurations of hydrogen and dihydrogen defects have been established. The calculated formation energies are used to give semiquantitative estimates for the concentration of hydrogen in SiC after chemical vapor... (Read more)

StathisHydrogen-related defects in oxygen-deficient silica, representing the material of a thermal gate oxide, are analyzed using first-principles calculations. Energetics and charge-state levels of oxygen vacancies, hydrogen, and their complexes in the silica framework are mapped out. The neutral hydrogen... (Read more)

EstreicherThe interactions between interstitial H and substitutional B, C, and Si in crystalline silicon and germanium are studied in molecular clusters at the ab initio Hartree-Fock level with large basis sets. The energetics, electronic structures, and relative stabilities of these pairs are determined. Our... (Read more)
