摘要
In photo luminescence experiments, the D-11 center shows strong carbon-like vibrational modes above the highest bulk phonon mode. We have performed ab initio DFT calculations of the localized vibrational modes (LVM) of defects in SiC possessing carbon-carbon bonds. Among these defects, only the carbon split interstitial-antisite complex is found to exhibit a LVM spectrum compatible with that of the D-11 center. The formation energy of this complex compares to the formation energy of the most abundant interstitial defects, namely the carbon split interstitial and the carbon-silicon split interstitial. We find a high binding energy of 3.6 eV and above. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
