An accurate description of the hyperfine interaction between electron spins and nuclear spins is crucial for understanding spin dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures. In this thesis, we study the hyperfine interactions in III-V semiconductors and Si. We use the Elk code to perform a density-functional-theory calculation of the contact hyperfine parameter for Si and the Ga and As sites in GaAs. Our result differs from the experimental values found with NMR by less than 3%, while the previous theoretical result differs from the same experimental values by more than 10%. To the best of our knowledge, the calculations in this thesis give the first theoretical estimate of the contact hyperfine coupling in GaAs derived from first principles. A...
