Abstract
The electronic structure of Au+, Au0 and Au-substitutional impurities in silicon are calculated within the framework of the self-consistent-field multiple-scattering molecular cluster model. The results show that centres behave basically as a 'perturbed' silicon vacancy with a filled gold-derived atomic d level localised below the bottom of the crystal valence band.
