Abstract
Spin-polarised local density functional cluster techniques are employed to investigate the behaviour of substitutional gold in germanium. The electronic structure of the defect is then identified using a combination of Slater’s transition argument and Janak’s theorem. The three acceptor and single donor levels are identified and their energies are compared with experiment.
