摘要
The properties of perfect screw dislocations have been investigated for several zinc-blende materials such as diamond, Si, beta-SiC, Ge and GaAs, by performing first-principles calculations. For almost all elements, a core configuration belonging to shuffle set planes is favored, in agreement with low-temperature experiments. Only for diamond, a glide configuration has the lowest defect energy, thanks to an sp(2) hybridization in the core.
