摘要
First principles local-density-functional (LDF) theory is employed to investigate the properties of di-interstitial (I-2), tri-interstitial (I-3) and tetra-interstitial (I-4) structures in silicon. We show that a tri-interstitial defect can account for many of the fundamental properties of the I-1/W-optical centre which is observed in irradiated, annealed silicon. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
