Abstract
Relative stability and geometrical deformations of charged states of interstitial hydrogen in silicon are studied by semiempirical (MNDO-PM3) and ab intio (HF and MP2) methods within a cluster approach. Stable geometries are found only for positively charged H-Si systems. The incorporation of correlation effects markedly favours the H-Si association. Long range SiSi interactions are observed even at high bond distances and the energy behaviour of the excited state with the SiSi distance is studied.
