Effects of Vacancy Cluster Defects on Electrical and Thermodynamic Properties of Silicon Crystals

A first-principle plane-wave pseudopotential method based on the density function theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the effects of vacancy cluster (VC) defects on the band structure and thermoelectric properties of silicon (Si) crystals. Simulation results showed that various VC defects chang...
