Behavior of hydrogen ions, atoms, and molecules in a-boron studied using density functional calculations

We examine the behavior of hydrogen ions, atoms, and molecules in a-boron using density functionalcalculations. Hydrogen behaves as a negative-U center, with positive H ions preferring to sit off-center oninterlayer bonds and negative H ions sitting preferably at in-plane sites between three B12 ico...
