Description

Recent studies have shown evidence of self-interstitial aggregation in ion-implanted Si, resulting in nanoscopic damage structures. Similarly, self-interstitial atoms are expected to play an important role for defect clustering in ion-implanted GaAs. We report results on stable neutral di-interstitial complex configurations in GaAs composed of both As and Ga atoms addressed by first-principles total-energy calculations based on density-functional theory
