✦ Synopsis


Topological interaction of shallow impurities with dislocations is studied. This problem is related with the violation of the topological structure of the crystal lattice by dislocations. The interaction results in a topological gauge field that is confined inside the dislocation cores but influences the shallow impurity states in vicinity of the dislocations via an Aharonov-Bohm effect-like way. It is found that this effect reduces the binding energies of shallow centers localized at unsplit dislocations. For split dislocations, the interaction of shallow-level centers with the stacking faults existing between partials is important and is taken into account on the base of the d-potential quantum well model of the stacking faults.

We demonstrate that strained GeSi/Si heterostructures act as a model system for the study of the interaction of propagating dislocations with point, line and planar defects. In such heterostructures, the effective stress acting on a propagating dislocation may be varied from tens of MPa to of order
