The constant-temperature-constant-pressure (NpT) molecular dynamics
method in conjunction with the classical Jiang-Brown interaction model
has been adopted for investigating oxygen-related defects in silicon,
including vacancy-oxygen and interstitial-oxygen complexes. The first
results will be presented and analysed, with a comparison to ab
initio calculations where those are available. The studies are
being extended to include intrinsic and anomalous oxygen diffusion in
bulk silicon as well as oxygen clustering. This work is supported
by a grant from VTT Electronics, Espoo, Finland.
