We present ab-initio modeling results including formation, migration, and activation energies for B and O diffusion through bulk and grain boundaries in polycrystalline HfO 2 films. Modeling results clearly indicate that B and O can penetrate through a 40 A HfO 2 film via grain boundary diffusion, b

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy enables to assess on atomic scale the nature and structural aspects of interfaces and interlayers in semiconductor/insulator hetero structures. This has been applied to (1 0 0)/insulator entities with nm-thin amorphous layers of HfO 2 and LaAlO 3 of high di
We report on an isolated cluster approach to determine local electronic structures of TiO, surfaces before and after formation of intrinsic defects, i.e., oxygen vacancies, at different crystallographic sites. In particular, isolated oxygen vacancies at bridging sites, isolated oxygen vacancies at i
The previously suggested segregation model for arsenic at Si/SiO 2 interfaces based on a combined trapping/pairing model [J. Dabrowski, H.-J. MΓΌssig, V. Zavodinsky, R. Baierle, M.J. Caldas, Phys.

The atomic structure and structural stabilities of silicon oxycarbide SiO x C y phase formed at the SiC/SiO 2 interface were studied using ab initio pseudopotential method. The total energies and the cohesive energies of the SiO x C y at different composition: SiC, SiO 1/4 C 3/4 , SiO 1/2 C 1/2 , Si
