Summary on Grant Application Form
A parallel processing computer facility is sought to perform first principles density functional studies in a number of problems in materials science, semiconductor physics and chemistry. This proposal is intended to enhance our cross-institutional collaboration. Specific problems to be addressed include (a) extended defects in semiconductors, their movement and electrical properties; (b) surface doping of diamond (c) technological properties of graphite; (d) point defects in semiconductors and their associated electrical, optical and vibrational properties; (e) the interaction and inter-conversion between point and extended defects; and (f) novel forms of carbon.
