Abstract

We have calclulated the ESR hyperfine parameters of threefold-coordinated Si atoms and twofold-coordinated P and N atoms in Si-based amorphous semiconductors using the density functional theory with a local-spin-density approximation. These calculated results have been compared with the observed ESR results.
