We present density–functional theory studies for a variety of surfaces and extended defects in GaN. According to previous theoretical studies1{100} type surfaces are electrically inactive. They play an important role in GaN since similar configurations occur at open–core screw dislocations and nanopipes as well as at the core of threading edge dislocations. Domain boundaries are found to consist of four–fold coordinated atoms and are also found to be electrically inactive. Thus, except for full–core screw dislocations which possess heavily strained bonds all investigated extended defects do not induce deep states into the band–gap. However, electrically active impurities in particular gallium vacancies and oxygen related defect complexes are found to be trapped at the stress field of the extended defects.

ABSTRACTThe ability of hydrogen to migrate in crystalline Si at low temperatures (<400°C) and bond to a variety of both shallow and deep level impurities, passivating their electrical activity, is of fundamental and technological interest. Recent results on the deactivation of the shallow acceptors in Si are compared with similar experiments in other semiconductors, microscopic models are proposed, and the implications for the states of hydrogen in the Si lattice at a variety of temperatures, and the diffusivity of some of these different states, is discussed. New results on the migration of atomic hydrogen under electronic stimulation are also detailed, along with a compendium of the deep levels in Si passivated by reaction with hydrogen. Surface damage by hydrogen-containing plasmas, and the infrared and electrical properties of H-related defect complexes are also reviewed.

ABSTRACTRadiative recombination processes provide valuable information about exciton dynamics and allow detection of defects in rubrene crystals. We demonstrate that the photoluminescence spectra of crystalline rubrene reflect exciton dissociation through oxygen-related defects in addition to the direct exciton recombination. The defect-assisted exciton dissociation results in a well-defined photoluminescence band. These defects play an important role in charge transport. Dark- and photo-conductivity is higher in rubrene crystals with a large density of the defects. The observations strongly suggest that the oxygen-related defect forms a bandgap state and acts as an acceptor center in crystalline rubrene.
