Abstract

Using density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation we have investigated the atomic and electronic structures and diffusion behavior of Si interstitials at the clean and H-terminated Si(001) surface and at the c-Si/a-SiO 2 interface. We find that interstitials are significantly stabilized at the surfaces and interfaces. Along with structure and energetics, we analyze the bonding mechanisms of interstitials based on electron density and electron localization function topologies.
