- 1. Phys. Rev. B 75, 085416 (2007) , “Ab initio theoretical study of hydrogen and its interaction with boron acceptors and nitrogen donors in single-wall silicon carbide nanotubes”, A. GaliSilicon carbide nanotubes have a great potential for biological applications. It is of interest to explore the electronic properties of these nanotubes, and how those are modified in the presence of impurities. Hydrogen is a common impurity that can appear during the growth of silicon carbide... (Read more)
- 2. Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 135506 (2007) , “Possible Approach to Overcome the Doping Asymmetry in Wideband Gap Semiconductors”, Yanfa Yan, Jingbo Li, Su-Huai Wei, and M. M. Al-JassimThe asymmetry doping problem has severely hindered the potential applications of many wideband gap (WBG) materials. Here, we propose a possible approach to overcome this long-standing doping asymmetry problem for WBG semiconductors. Our approach is based on the reduction of the ionization energies... (Read more)
- 3. Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 045501 (2007) , “Dopability, Intrinsic Conductivity, and Nonstoichiometry of Transparent Conducting Oxides”, Stephan Lany and Alex ZungerExisting defect models for In2O3 and ZnO are inconclusive about the origin of conductivity, nonstoichiometry, and coloration. We apply systematic corrections to first-principles calculated formation energies ΔH, and validate our theoretical defect model against... (Read more)
- 4. Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 015501 (2007) , “First-Principles Simulations of Boron Diffusion in Graphite”, I. Suarez-Martinez, A. A. El-Barbary, G. Savini, and M. I. HeggieBoron strongly modifies electronic and diffusion properties of graphite. We report the first ab initio study of boron interaction with the point defects in graphite, which includes structures, thermodynamics, and diffusion. A number of possible diffusion mechanisms of boron in graphite are... (Read more)
- 5. Appl. Phys. Lett. 89, 112107 (2006) , “Determination of the concentration of recombination centers in thin asymmetrical p-n junctions from capacitance transient spectroscopy”, Juan A. Jiménez Tejada, Pablo Lara Bullejos, Juan A. López Villanueva, Francisco M. Gómez-Campos, Salvador Rodríguez-Bolívar, and M. Jamal DeenRecombination centers in thin asymmetrical p-n junctions were analyzed in the context of capacitance transient experiments. The combined effect of the thin low-doped region of the junction and the nonzero value of the occupation factor of the recombination center in the depletion layer... (Read more)
- 6. J. Appl. Phys. 100, 034309 (2006) , “Critical size for defects in nanostructured materials”, Jagdish NarayanThis paper addresses some of the fundamental issues and critical advantages in reducing the grain size/feature size to the nanoscale regime. We find that as the grain size or feature size is reduced, there is a critical size below which the defect content can be reduced virtually to zero. This... (Read more)
- 7. Phys. Rev. B 74, 245216 (2006) , “Influence of excited states of a deep substitutional dopant on majority-carrier concentration in semiconductors”, Hideharu MatsuuraThe density (NA) and energy level (EA) of an acceptor in a p-type wide-band-gap semiconductor (e.g., SiC, GaN, and diamond) are determined by a least-squares fit of the charge neutrality equation to the temperature dependence of the hole...

- 8. Phys. Rev. B 74, 081201 (2006) , “Design of shallow acceptors in ZnO: First-principles band-structure calculations”, Jingbo Li, Su-Huai Wei, Shu-Shen Li, and Jian-Bai Xiap-type doping is a great challenge for the full utilization of ZnO as short-wavelength optoelectronic material. Due to a large electronegative characteristic of oxygen, the ionization energy of acceptors in ZnO is usually too high. By analyzing the defect wave-function character, we propose... (Read more)
- 9. Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 255902 (2006) , “Atomistic Mechanism of Boron Diffusion in Silicon”, Davide De Salvador, Enrico Napolitani, Salvatore Mirabella, Gabriele Bisognin, Giuliana Impellizzeri, Alberto Carnera, and Francesco PrioloB diffuses in crystalline Si by reacting with a Si self-interstitial (I) with a frequency g and so forming a fast migrating BI complex that can migrate for an average length λ. We experimentally demonstrate that both g and λ strongly depend on the free hole... (Read more)
- 10. Phys. Rev. B 70, 115203 (2004) , “Different roles of carbon and silicon interstitials in the interstitial-mediated boron diffusion in SiC”, Michel Bockstedte, Alexander Mattausch, and Oleg PankratovThe interstitial and vacancy mediated boron diffusion in silicon carbide is investigated with an ab initio method. The boron interstitials in p-type and n-type materials are found to be far more mobile than the boron-vacancy complexes. A kick-out mechanism and an interstitialcy... (Read more)
- 11. Phys. Rev. B 69, 233202 (2004) , “Diffusion of hydrogen in perfect, p-type doped, and radiation-damaged 4H-SiC”, B. Aradi, P. Deák, A. Gali, N. T. Son, E. JanzénThe 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)

OrdejónIn this paper we analyze, by means of first-principles electronic structure calculations, the structural, energetic, and diffusive properties of B impurities in SiC as well as of vacancies. We focus our study on (i) determining the equilibrium structures of the impurity in the lattice by means of... (Read more)
- 13. Phys. Rev. B 66, 161202(R) (2002) , “Phosphorus and sulphur doping of diamond”, L. G. 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)

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.
