ShawSilicon impurities in diamond lead to the appearance of the well known system of 12 lines around 1.681 eV, thought to arise from the silicon-vacancy complex. This system is produced by various treatments suggestive of other silicon-related centers in the material. In order to elucidate possible... (Read more)

BakerDiamond is a material that shows great promise for particle detection applications. However, under irradiation with energetic particles, many thermally stable defects are created, made up of lattice vacancies, self-interstitials, and complexes with impurities. Relatively distant Frenkel... (Read more)

Naramoto, X. L. Yuan, and T. SekiguchiVacancy-type defects in as-grown ZnO single crystals have been identified using positron annihilation spectroscopy. The grown-in defects are supposed to be zinc vacancy (VZn)-related defects, and can be easily removed by annealing above 600 °C. VZn-related... (Read more)

GaliAn antisite-vacancy pair and a monovacancy are a set of fundamental stable and/or metastable defects in compound semiconductors. Theory predicted that carbon antisite-vacancy pairs would be much more stable in p-type SiC than silicon vacancies and that they would be a common defect. However,... (Read more)

Through silicon self-diffusion... (Read more)

BriddonLarge vacancy clusters, or voids, formed during crystal growth have been reported in Ge. The divacancy is a precursor to such clusters, and is believed to be stable up to 150 or 180 °C. It is also believed to form in Ge irradiated at room temperature where single vacancies are mobile. Density... (Read more)

Adsorption of the extrinsic molecular oxygen leads to that electrons are bound more tightly than holes by the traps in the originally... (Read more)
