Abstract
Comparison calculation of boron impurities, substituting for Si and C sites in cubic SiC, is performed in the framework of the cluster MNDO method. Impurity site preference, equilibrium geometry, potential ener gy surface, reorientation barriers, Franck-Condon shift, spin and char ge density distribution and hyperfine parameters are under considerati on. The reasonable values of all calculated parameters support the mod el of a Jahn-Teller centre with strong coupling for the B-Si impurity. Calculations predict the B-C impurity to be the effective-mass-like a cceptor.
