Donor and acceptor levels of atomic hydrogen centers in germanium are calculated by density functionalpseudopotential modeling, using large hydrogen-terminated Ge clusters. We found that the neutral bond centered (BC) and anti-bonding configurations (AB) are energetically very close, with a slight (

Large-scale ab initio simulation methods have been employed to investigate the configurations and properties of defects in SiC. Atomic structures, formation energies and binding energies of small vacancy clusters have also been studied as a function of cluster size, and their relative stabilities ar
Here we present local density functional calculations of the formation and migration energies of a vacancy in large Ge supercells and hydrogen-terminated Ge clusters. Migration barriers for neutral (V 0 ), negatively charged (V À ) and double negatively charged (V ¼ ) vacancies were calculated by us
Solute Cu plays a major role in the embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels under radiation. In RPV steels and dilute FeCu alloys, the tomographic atom probe has revealed the formation of Cu atmospheres under neutron flux. More recently the role of other solutes such as Ni, Mn and Si w
