ABSTRACTWe present an atomistic and quantum mechanical model of light-induced defects (the Staebler-Wronski effect). The model is based in part on our observations of molecular dynamics simulations with an ab initio code and requires a change in the charge of a well localized state in the gap, such as a dangling bond, to nucleate the new defects. Besides the new defects, a substantial rearrangement of the supercell is observed.
