Abstract

Preliminary results of theoretical studies of hydrogen and hydrogen-related defects in cubic GaN are reported. Our calculations contrast with those of other authors in that the host crystal is represented by molecular clusters rather than periodic supercells, and that they are obtained using an all-electron methodology rather than the single effectiveparticle approach of density-functional theory. Our results confirm some predictions of other authors but conflict with others.
