The writing of my doctoral thesis has just been completed and the studies will hopefully come to an end soon, presumably with the viva voce in mid October.
During my research, I investigated defect structures in carbon implanted silicon by means of atomistic simulation studies employing both, first-principles and classical potential methods.
Next to interesting results concerning structures of isolated and combined defects as well as transitions between these configurations, conclusions on the not yet fully understood process of silicon carbide precipitation in silicon could be derived.
