First-Principles Calculation of He–H Interaction in c-Si
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used the density functional theory and ab initio pseudopotentials to investigate He–H interaction in crystalline silicon. It was shown that both hydrogen and helium stimulate the formation of vacancy complexes. The presence of hydrogen decreases the vacancy and divacancy formation energies by about 2 eV. The presence of one or two helium atoms reduces the divacancy formation energy by 0.3 and 0.4 eV, respectively. The influence of helium presence on hydrogen diffusion from silicon vacancies under high pressure depends on a helium concentration. Thus, according to our calculation, low concentrations of He increase the hydrogen out-diffusion.

Hydrogen storage capacity of Si-decorated B80 nanocage: firstprinciples DFT calculation and MD simulation
Hydrogen storage capacity of Si-coated B80 fullerene was investigated based on density functional theory calculations within local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. It is found that Si atom prefer to be attached above the center of pentagon with a binding energy of -5.78 eV. It is inferred that this binding is due to the charge transfer between the Si atom and B80 ca...

This paper investigates the kinetics of structure H (sH) formation kinetics above and below the structure I (sI) formation equilibrium curve at temperatures of between 2°C and 6°C. Methane was used as a help gas and methylcyclohexane (MCH) was used as sH former. It was concluded that in the points above the sI formation equilibrium curve, at the first, the sI forms, and then converts to sH be...

In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
متن کاملRetarded dopant diffusion by moderated dopant-dopant interactions in Si nanowires.
The retarded dopant diffusion in Si nanostructures is investigated using the first principles calculation. It is presented that weak dopant-dopant interaction energy (DDIE) in nanostructures is responsible for the suppressed dopant diffusion in comparison with that in bulk Si. The DDIE is significantly reduced as the diameter of the Si nanowire becomes smaller. The mechanical softening and quan...
