Abstract
The mechanisms for hydrogen diffusion in amorphous silicon are investigated in the context of first-principles results for silicon-hydrogen interactions. For quantities such as the hydrogen chemical potential and the Si-H bond energy, a comparison between theory and experiment provides insight into the microscopic structures as well as the basics of the diffusion process.Keywords
