Estimation of the temperature dependent interaction between uncharged point defects in Si

A method is described to estimate the temperature dependent interaction between two uncharged point defects in Si based on DFT calculations. As an illustration, the formation of the uncharged di-vacancy V2 is discussed, based on the temperature dependent attractive field between both vacancies. For...
