DEFECTS IN AMORPHOUS SiO2: REACTIONS, DYNAMICS AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES

This thesis focuses on two main topics: the reactions and dynamics of water and oxygen interstitials and the optical properties and associated relaxation mechanisms of two selected defects in amorphous SiO2. The theoretical approach is based on first-principles density-functional theory using ultras...
