The interpretation of the EFG is, however, a difficult task. This paper aims at understanding the interaction of Cd impurities with vacancies and interstitials in Si and Ge, which represents a controversial issue. We apply two complementary ab initio methods in the framework of density-functional theory, (i) the all electron Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method and (ii) the pseudopotential-plane-wave method, to search for the correct local geometry. Surprisingly we find that both in Si and Ge the substitutional Cd-vacancy complex is unstable and relaxes to a split-vacancy complex with the Cd on the bond-center site. This complex has a very small EFG, allowing a unique assignment of the small measured EFGs of 54 MHz in Ge and 28 MHz in Si. Also, for the Cd-self-interstitial complex we obtain a highly symmetrical split configuration with large EFG's, being in reasonable agreement with experiments.}, keywords = {J (WoSType)}, cin = {CNI / IFF-TH-I / IFF-TH-III}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)VDB381 / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB30 / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB32}, pnm = {Kondensierte Materie}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK242}, shelfmark = {Physics, Condensed Matter}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000224855900055}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.70.155313}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/40600}, }
