Abstract

The ionization energy and expectation value of the radius corresponding to the states of several interstitial impurities in Ge and Si are calculated. The range of the valence electron of the impurity is divided into two regions; an inner region, which is treated microscopically, and an outer region, which is treated macroscopically. The separation radius, which is primarily a function of the host crystal, is a parameter of the calculation. At a critical separation radius a rapid change of ionization energy and wave-function results. The calculations are carried out for several impurities in column I of the periodic table.
