We report on the role of two boron–hydrogen complexes in the conductivity conversion from p-type to n-type in boron-doped diamond samples. The calculated electronic structures of the simulated clusters show that the boron–hydrogen complex of hydrogen–boron pairs (BH1) is characteristic of p-type conductivity, and that…
