摘要
We present first-principles total-energy calculations that reveal microscopic structures of multivacancies in Si and their feasibility of hydrogen incorporation. We find that the hexavacancy Vg and the decavacancy V-10 are stable, and that the stable multivacancies are either free from or fully decorated with hydrogen depending on its chemical potential. We also find that the H-decorated multivacancy is capable of containing an additional H-2 molecule and hereby exhibits peculiar vibration spectra related to the hydrogen.
