Several Nitrogen (N)-hydrogen(H), N-dangling bond (DB) and N-single vacancy (V) complexes as the possible donor centers in diamond have been investigated using both supercell and cluster methods within the frame of density functional theory. We have found that the H—N—N—H complex exhibits shallower donor character than that of the N—H—N center discussed by Miyazaki et al.1 and it is one of the possible effective shallow donor centers in crystalline diamond. We conclude that the N—V related complex demonstrates a character of shallow donors and it should be one of the possible donor centers for the ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films, which are responsible for the n-type high conductivity of these films.

This paper deals with the elastic properties of pure and nitrogen-doped silicene using density functional theory. During the compression (tension) from –2 to 2 GPa of pure and nitrogen-doped silicene, the corresponding values for the bulk modulus are obtained. It is found that the doping of the silicene structure with nitrogen has practically no effect on the value of its bulk modulus. However, the Young's modulus is increased of about 1.25 times.
