Abstract

Abstract The interaction of O with 90° partial dislocations in Si is examined using a cluster method with local-density-functional pseudo-potential theory. We consider several states of O at dislocation cores firstly which are normally reconstructed and secondly which contain solitonic reconstructed bonding patterns. This topic has been the subject of a number of experiments by Sumino and his collaborators, and our overall findings support his conclusions.
