Hydrogen-related local vibrational modes at 2643, 2651, 2688, 2725, 2729, and 2775 cm-1 are thought to arise from C-H stretch modes from defects similar to the hydrogen-passivated carbon acceptor complex CAsH. These lines appear in samples that are grown using trimethylgallium metalorganic precursors, and it has been suggested that the 2688-, 2725-, 2729-, and 2775-cm-1 bands may be due to CAs dimers decorated with one or more H atoms. We present here the structures, energies, and vibrational modes of (CAs)2, (CAs)2H, and (CAs)2H2 complexes obtained from ab initio local-density-functional cluster calculations to investigate these assignments.
