Hydrogen point defects in silicon still hold unsolved problems, whose disclosure is fundamental for future advances in Si technologies. Among the open issues is the mechanism for the condensation of atomic hydrogen into molecules in Si…

Hydrogenated silicenes possess peculiar properties owing to the strong H-Si bonds, as revealed by an investigation using first principles calculations. The various charge distributions, bond lengths, energy bands, and densities of states…

Amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) is an important material for surface defect passivation of photovoltaic silicon (Si) wafers in order to reduce their recombination losses. The material is however unstable with regards to hydrogen (H)…

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has had a long standing role as a passivating dielectric for c-Si, often utilized in the early development of ICs and more recently for Si solar cells. Although it has been studied for more than 60…

An H atom inserted into hydrogen monolayer on the Si(100)-2x1 surface has been studied using the density functional theory. Hydrogen-induced defects were considered in their neutral, negative, and positive charge states. It was found that…
