Abstract
The interaction of O with 90-degrees partial dislocations in Si is exa mined using a cluster method with local-density-functional pseudo-pote ntial theory. We consider several states of O at dislocation cores fir stly which are normally reconstructed and secondly which contain solit onic reconstructed bonding patterns. This topic has been the subject o f a number of experiments by Sumino and his collaborators, and our ove rall findings support his conclusions.
