- 1. Phys. Rev. B 75, 075420 (2007) , “Ab initio study of hydrogen interaction with pure and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes”, Zhiyong Zhang and Kyeongjae ChoDetailed studies of mechanisms for hydrogen dissociative adsorption and diffusion on pure and nitrogen-doped (8, 0) carbon nanotubes are carried out using the first-principles density functional theory method. (1) For pure carbon nanotubes, we have identified the energetically most favorable... (Read more)

BrowningThe structural energetics and diffusion mechanisms of the two most important point defects in rutile TiO2, the oxygen vacancy (VO) and the titanium interstitial (TiI), are examined using the ab initio pseudopotential total-energy method. The two... (Read more)

HaOnly a few years ago, an account of degradation of silicon carbide high-voltage p-i-n diodes was presented at the European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Compounds (Kloster Banz, Germany, 2000). This report was followed by the intense effort of multiple groups... (Read more)

Valipa, Tamas Bakos, and Dimitrios MaroudasWe present a detailed analysis of the fundamental atomic-scale processes that determine the surface smoothness of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films. The analysis is based on a synergistic combination of molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of radical precursor migration on surfaces... (Read more)

B 74, 174101 (2006) , “First-principles study of the intrinsic defects in PbFCl”, Bo Liu, Zeming Qi, and Chaoshu ShiFirst-principles pseudopotential calculations have been performed to investigate intrinsic defects including vacancies, interstitials, antisite defects, as well as Schottky and Frenkel defects in PbFCl crystals. For the isolated vacancies and interstitials, their formation energies are critically... (Read more)

In addition to perfect graphite (0001), three types of surface defects have been considered: a surface vacancy (hole), a pyridinelike defect comprising three... (Read more)

JanznFirst-principles calculations carried out in 3C- and 4H-SiC show that small metastable carbon clusters can be created in irradiated SiC. The metastable carbon clusters possess occupation levels in the p-type as well as in the n-type 4H-SiC. Depending on the... (Read more)

- 11. Microelectron. Reliability 45, 71 (2005) , “A comprehensive model of PMOS NBTI degradation ”,Negative bias temperature instability has become an important reliability concern for ultra-scaled Silicon IC technology with significant implications for both analog and digital circuit design. In this paper, we construct a comprehensive model for NBTI phenomena within the framework of the standard reaction–diffusion model. We demonstrate how to solve the reaction–diffusion equations in a way that emphasizes the physical aspects of the degradation process and allows easy generalization of the existing work. We also augment this basic reaction–diffusion model by including the temperature and field-dependence of the NBTI phenomena so that reliability projections can be made under arbitrary circuit operating conditions.

- 12. Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 245901 (2004) , “Ab Initio Calculations to Model Anomalous Fluorine Behavior”, Milan Diebel, Scott T. Dunhammplanted fluorine is observed to behave unusually in silicon, manifesting apparent uphill diffusion and reducing diffusion and enhancing activation of boron. In order to investigate fluorine behavior, we calculate the energy of fluorine defect structures in the framework of density functional theory. In addition to identifying the ground-state configuration and diffusion migration barrier of a single fluorine atom in silicon, a set of energetically favorable fluorine defect structures were found (FnVm). The decoration of vacancies and dangling silicon bonds by fluorine suggests that fluorine accumulates in vacancy-rich regions, which explains the fluorine redistribution behavior reported experimentally.

PantelidesWe report first-principles calculations showing that protons in the vicinity of a SiSiO2 interface can behave in two different ways. At an abrupt interface without suboxide bonds (SiSi bonds at the oxide side of the interface) H+ does not become trapped but migrates... (Read more)

Wang and Alex ZungerPrevious calculations on n-type doping of diamond by P and S predicted that S has a shallower level and a higher solubility than P. Our first-principles calculations show that the opposite is true: Phosphorus impurity in diamond gives rise to a shallower donor level, and has a higher bulk solid... (Read more)
