Effects of Vacancy Cluster Defects on Electrical and Thermodynamic Properties of Silicon Crystals by Pei-Hsing Huang, Chi-Ming Lu

“…The results can be ascribed to the formation of a defect level produced by the dangling bonds, floating bonds, or high-strain atoms surrounding the VC defects. The appearance of imaginary frequencies in the phonon spectrum of defective Si crystals indicates that the defect-region structure is dynamically unstable and demonstrates phase changes. …”
