We report on the energetics, electrical and optical activity of small self-interstitial (I-3 and I-4) clusters in Si, found from ab-initio density-functional modeling studies. I-4 possesses nine local vibrational modes above the Raman edge, which account for up to three dipole-allowed vibronic transitions observed in recent experiments associated with the X-photoluminescent line. Another prominent photoluminescent line (known as the W-line) that shows a trigonal stress-induced splitting pattern, has been previously assigned to I-3. Our analysis of the LVMs of a metastable form of I-3 Support this assignment.
