Abstract
Spectral densities of phonons in the immediate vicinity of a vacancy in Si and Ge are calculated in the continued fraction/recursion method. The results indicate that both in Si and Ge the presence of vacancy gives rise to a sharp decrease in the DOS in the optical frequency range and a rather diffuse increase in the acoustic frequency range.
