Nominator's project description

Professor Estreicher has made seminal contributions to the theoretical understanding of defects in semiconductors. He uses state of the art computational techniques to model electronic properties of defects and their role in diffusion, passivation and defect clustering. Recent achievements include the formation of stable multiple vacancy and slef-interstitial complexes as well as the diffusion of molecular hydrogen in silicon.
