Abstract

Self-consistent spin-unrestricted all-electron Green's function calculations are reported for the first time for a series of interstitial 3d impurities in silicon. The calculations, performed within the selfinteraction- corrected local-spin-density fromalism show: (i) not all 3d impurities follow Hund's rule: Tio, Ti−, Vo, V+ and Co2+ have a low-spin ground state, (ii) the angular momentum part gL of g-value is quenched due to p-d hybridization effects, (iii) covalency explains also the chemical trends in the central hyperfine coupling constants, (iii) chemical trends in donor andacceptor transitions are reproduced and are consistent with a high-spin to lowspin transition at the low-Z end and high-Z end of the 3d series, (iv) A number of predictions are offered.
