Kirsch, C. D. Young, R. Choi, B. H. Lee, B. Foran, K. van Benthem, S. J. Pennycook, P. M. Lenahan, and J. T. RyanThe influence of Hf-based dielectrics on the underlying SiO2 interfacial layer (IL) in high-k gate stacks is investigated. An increase in the IL dielectric constant, which correlates to an increase of the positive fixed charge density in the IL, is found to depend on the starting,... (Read more)

LenahanThe electronic properties of the (100) Si/SiO2 interfacial defect called Pb1 are quite controversial. We present electron spin resonance measurements that demonstrate: (1) that the Pb1 defects have levels in the silicon band gap, (2) that... (Read more)

Phys. 95, 4096 (2004) , “Nitridation effects on Pb center structures at SiO2/Si(100) interfaces ”,Interfacial defect structures of NO-nitride oxide on Si(100) were characterized by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. We confirmed that the effective g values of the Pb1 center are affected by interfacial nitridation even at a small nitrogen concentration of 5 at. %, while those of the Pb0 center proved to be unchanged. We observed that the shifted Pb1 line appeared gradually with interfacial nitrogen concentration, which suggests that the nitrogen-induced modified structure substitutes for the original Pb1 structure. Angular variations of the shifted Pb1 lines were also significantly different from those of pure oxide. Based on our analysis, we attributed the g value shift of the Pb1 center to dangling bond tilting, caused by the displacement of nearest-neighbor Si atoms. (Read more)
- 4. Microelectron. Reliability 45, 57 (2005) , “Characterization of interface defects related to negative-bias temperature instability SiON/Si<100> systems ”,Interface defects related to negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) in an ultrathin plasma-nitrided SiON/ Si<100> system were characterized by using conductance–frequency measurements, electron-spin resonance measure- ments, and synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was confirmed that NBTI is reduced by using D2-annealing instead of the usual H2-annealing. Interfacial Si dangling bonds (Pb1 and Pb0 centers) were detected in a sample subjected to negative-bias temperature stress (NBTS). Although we suggest that NBTS also generates non-Pb defects, it does not seem to generate nitrogen dangling bonds. These results show that NBTI of the plasma-nitrided SiON/Si system is predominantly due to Pb depassivation. Plasma nitridation was also found to increase the Pb1/Pb0 density ratio, modify the Pb1 defect structure, and increase the latent interface trap density by generating Si suboxides at the interface. These changes are likely to be the causes of NBTI in ultrathin plasma-nitrided SiON/Si systems. (Read more)

Makhov.Although a large number of experimental papers on defect center states in silicon have been published, there is still not enough information on intrinsic interstitial defects. Of the large number of defects identified by EPR signals in irradiated silicon, only four centers (Si-G25, Si-A5, Si-B3, and Si-P6) are related to intrinsic interstitial complexes of silicon.

KhramtsovAn EPR study of GaN revealed the presence of defects exhibiting metastable properties. EPR spectra of two centers (ii1a and ii1b) with axial symmetry along the hexagonal axis of the crystal, which have strongly anisotropic g factors, were observed. The anisotropy of the spectra decreases, and the line shape changes, with increasing temperature. The spectra of the ii1a and ii1b centers disappear at 25 and 50 K, respectively. Subsequent cooling of the samples does not restore the EPR signals, which implies that one observes here phenomena inherent in defects with metastable states. To restore EPR signals, one has to warm the samples to room temperature under very specific conditions. The possible microstructure of the discovered defects is discussed. (Read more)

EatonA microwave (ca. 3 GHz) limiter, constructed using a GaAs PIN diode and microstrip impedance transformation circuit, limited 300-ns long 11-W microwave pulses to 70 mW at ca. 4.2 K.

EmmonsConsiderable attention has been devoted to the study of nitrogen impurity in natural diamonds using the technique of electron spin resonance1-3. The spectrum obtained in due to the unpaired electron provided by the substitutional nitrogen atom and the main feature is a triplet at g = 2.0024 caused by interaction with the nitrogen nucleus which has a spin of unity. The distribution of nitrogen is variable and would seem to depend on the method by which the diamond was formed. (Read more)
- 11. Nature 194, 829 (1962) , “DIAMONDS CONTAINING CONTROLLABLE IMPURITY CONCENTRATIONS”, C. M. Huggins, P. CannonThe presence of cosiderable quantities of impurities in natural diamond has recently been confirmed1,2. This led Frank3 to remark that multiple techniques of examination must be used on such material. In view of the report of Yoneda4 concerning possible effects of nitrogen on the X-ray diffraction patterns of diamond, it seems worth-while to us to comment further on some of the results which we have gained by the deliberate introduction of a given impurity into laboratory-grown diamond. We shall limit ourselves to a qualitative examination of the electron spin resonance spectra of a few specimens, in the belief that the profundity of the effects suffices to establish that progress in this area is now limited by the composition variability of natural diamond.

WardThe nature of lattice defects in neutron-irradiated diamond is a problem of current interest. These defects are known to cause changes in some of the physical properties1 and give rise to a paramagnetic absorption spectrum. We have measured this spectrum in the temperature-range 20º-290ºK., using wave-lengths of 1-2 and 3-1 cm. There are many closely spaced lines, of which two main types can be distinguished.

- 13. Nature 198, 981 (1963) , “Electron Spin Resonance in Neutron-irradiated Diamond”, E. A. Faulkner, E. W. J. Mitchell, P. W. WhippeyRecent work has shown that the nature of the electron spin resonance spectrum observed in irradiated diamond depends on the type and amount of irradiation. Faulkner and Lomer used comparatively heavy doses of 2-MeV electrons (up to 8×1019 electron cm-3) and distinguished four systems, all of which show a g-value which is isotropic and equal to the free-spin value within 0-2 per cent: (a) asingle line of width about 5 gauss; (b) a system of 24 lines with symmentry axes near the <221> directions, and a D-value of 0-14 cm-1; (c) a system of 6 lines with symmentry axes along the <100> directions and a D-value of 0-14 cm-1; (d) a broad absorption with a half-power width of about 70 gauss, showing a complicated anisotropic structure.

WeilThe dynamic process due to electron jumping among three states with different sp hybrid directions in the quasitetrahedral P4+ center [PO4]0 in a-quartz has been investigated by 10-GHz electron paramagnetic resonance, over the temperature range 40 to 400 K. The relative populations (mole fractions ƒІ and ƒІІ) of the ground state P(І) and two degenerate thermally excited states P(ІІ) were determined from the measured EPR absorption line intensity ratios and from the line positions of the averaged state P(A), respectively, in the slow and fast kinetic regions. The temperature dependence of the mole fractions has been explained by considering vibrational sublevels in the potential well describing each state. The jump rate was also obtained, via EPR absorption line-width analysis based on the Bloch equations, in both the slow and the fast regions. The characteristic parameters of the dynamic process, Le., energy separation and vibrational sublevels of the ground and excited states, and barrier height between these, have been determined.

The results show that the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 increases with increasing donor concentration and becomes so close to the spin-spin relaxation time T2 in the intermediate concentration region of transport phenomena.

- 19. Nature 210, 1037 (1966) , “Electron Spin Resonance Spectra associated with Nitrogen in Diamonds”, H. J. Bower, M. C. R. SymonsMANY diamonds show an electron spin resonance spectrum which has been attributed to the presence of single nitrogen atoms substituted for carbon at a diamond lattice site. Smith etal.1 found four types of nitrogen donors, equally abundant and differing only in their hyperfine axes, these being the four C–N bond directions. They measured the hyperfine coupling constants for 14N(I=1), and for 13C(I = ½) in the nearest neighbour positions (denoted centre I). Loubser and du Preez2 found additional lines in the spectrum, which they attributed to interaction of the unpaired electron with carbon-13 at other lattice sites (centres II, III and IV). The hyperfine coupling constants are recorded in Table 1, together with the orbital populations. These populations were obtained using values of |ψ2s(0)|2 and
-3>2p calculated from self-consistent-field atomic wave functions derived by Mayers and by Roothaan and Clementi (see ref. 3). (We have omitted any correction for the δ+ charge on nitrogen and the δ- charge on carbon: this would increase the spin density on carbon at the expense of the nitrogen.) (Read more) - 20. Phys. Solid State 40, 195 (1998) , “Depth Distribution of Point Defects in Si Bombarded by High-Energy N5+ and Si5+ Ions”, A. V. Dvurechenski?, A. A. Karanovich, R. Grtzschel, F. Herrmann, R. Kegler, A. V. Rybin.Electron spin resonance has been used to study the depth distribution of point defects in Si samples bombarded by N5+ (E=16 MeV) and Si5+ (E=26.8 MeV) ions at 175 and 300 K in the dose range (4–8)×1015 cm-2. It was established that unlike the implantation of moderate-energy Si ions (E ∼ 100 keV), the depth distributions of planar tetravacancies in samples bombarded by ions at 300 K under these conditions have two maxima. The experimental results indicate that the tetravacancy density maximum closer to the surface is formed as a result of secondary defect formation processes. No continuous amorphous layer was observed in the bulk of any of the Si samples. This experimental observation is evidence of defect annealing which takes place when high-energy ions are implanted in Si. (Read more)

Savel'evThe exchange coupling of Fe centers in GaAs crystals is studied by electron spin resonance (ESR). Transitions to a superparamagnetic state and to an impurity ferromagnetism domain are analyzed. A study of a system of single-domain magnetically ordered regions in GaAs:Fe with the transition to a ferromagnetic state occurring at the temperature T C1 = 460 K is described. It is shown that impurity ferromagnetism with a transition temperature T C2 of 60 K in a disordered system of Fe centers randomly distributed among superparamagnetic regions exists in GaAs:Fe.

- 23. Semiconductors 37, 872 (2003) , “ESR of Interacting Manganese Centers in Gallium Arsenide”, K. F. Shtel'makh, M. P. Korobkov, I. G. OzerovESR of Mn-doped GaAs is studied. The results indicate the presence of an interstitial impurity state in GaAs:Mn which is involved in the Coulomb interaction with the substitutional Mn states. Analysis of the temperature variations of ESR spectra and the values of the g factor shows that the interstitial center has a d5 electron configuration. The substitutional Mn create a strong random crystal field at the interstitial Mn ion. The results can be explained by assuming the existence of a nonzero dipole moment in the neutral state of Mn.

SamorukovResults of investigations of the longitudinal magnetic relaxation of the neutral state of the Mn0 center in GaAs are presented. Relaxation mechanisms were determined from the broadening of the electron-spinresonance line in the temperature range of 3.4–8.2 K and from the variation in the nuclear relaxation rate in the range of 36–310 K. The nuclear relaxation investigation demonstrates that the electron relaxation is governed by the interaction between lattice vibrations and local vibrations of the center. This allows one to represent the electron relaxation at low temperatures as the consequence of anharmonicity of local vibrations of the electron dipole moment of the Mn0 center. (Read more)

Nashiyama, S. Okada, H. Okumura, S. YoshidaPositron lifetime and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements were performed for 1-MeV electronirradiated cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC). From a comparison of the annealing behaviors of positron lifetime and ESR signal, we identified the annihilation of positrons localized at single-negative silicon vacancies. The positron lifetime at silicon vacancies was first determined experimentally to be 188|±|4 ps. This value agrees well with the theoretical positron lifetime for silicon vacancies [G. Brauer et al. Phys. Rev. B 54, 2512 (1996)]. The trapping coefficient of singlenegative silicon vacancies was also derived. (Read more)

WhiteA new EPR spectrum has been observed in semi-insulating GaAs with a sub- millimeter laser magnetic resonance spectrometer. The spectrum is isotropic with g= 2.04 ± 0.01 at v=11.236cm-1.

- 29. Solid State Commun. 53, 1135 (1985) , “Electron Paramagnetic Resonance on Shallow Acceptor Impurities in Silicon”, R. van Kemp, C. A. J. Ammerlaan.The shallow acceptor impurities boron, aluminum, gallium and indium in silicon were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using a K-band superheterodyne spectrometer. The EPR spectra of these impurities were observed at low temperatures (1.4K < T < 4.2K) under conditions of zero and small values of external uniaxial stress. the observed angular dependence of the resonance lines can be analyzed using the effective spin Hamiltonian H = HB + Hε with J = 3/2 [1], HB = ?, Hε = ?. By making a least squares fit to the experimental data, the g-values g1' and g2' and the deformation potential parameters b' and d' were obtained. Under a variety of conditions peculiar line shapes and width were observed. We considered teh following mechanism to explain the observed characteristics of the resonance lines: double and triple quantum transitions, linear and quadratic effects of strain, dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion, transition probabilities and the effect of relaxation time on spin dynamics. Double and triple quantum transitions can occur in this system because j = 3/2. They can be recognized because their intensity is proportional to the square and the cube, respectively, of the microwave power. However, in the experiment no such dependence on the microwave power was found. The expressions thus obtained can account qualitatively for the line width and asymmetry when it is assumed that the strain distribution in the crystal is approximately Gaussian. These effects can not account for a peculiar narrow dip that is present in the centers of the resonance lines with ΔMj = 1 and ΔMj = 2 [2]. A dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion of the acceptor atoms would have result that there are no sites with strain zero. Together with the random strains present in the crystal, the effect will be a shift of intensity away from the magnetic field at which the center of the line occurs. Calculation of the transition probabilities for the ΔMj = 1, 2, 3 transitions showed that these do not become very small in any of the cases. An explanation of the dip in the center of the resonance line can be offered in the following way [3]. The broad resonance lines for the ΔMj = 1 and ΔMj = 2 transitions are a superposition of spin packets which are shifted due to the random internal strains. For small values of the strains, packets will overlap, allowing a form of cross-relaxation to occur. this results in broadening of the homofeneous width and smaller intensity at the centerof the resonance line.

- 31. Physica 116B, 583 (1983) , “Investigations of Well Defined Dislocations in Silicon”, H. Alexander, C. Kisielowski-Kemmerich, E. R. Weber.The velocity v of dislocation half-loops introduced into swirl-free floating-zone grown undoped silicon has been measured at 420ºC in the resolved shear stress range 30<τ<300 MPa. Clearly impurity atoms interact with dislocations in this material. Using the starting value of v we found the two types of 60º dislocations, which are distinguished by the sequence of their partials, to have different velocities. Furtheron the velocity depends not only on τ, but also on the elastic strain of the lattice. In the second part the paper reviews EPR spectroscopy of plastically deformed silicon and collects new results on the activity of dislocations in this material as trapping / recombination centers (decay of photo-EPR, photoluminescence, EBIC microscopy and photoplastic effect).

BockstedteThe metastability of vacancies was theoretically predicted for several compound semiconductors alongside their transformation into the antisite-vacancy pair counterpart; however, no experiment to date has unambiguously confirmed the existence of antisite-vacancy pairs. Using electron paramagnetic resonance and first principles calculations we identify the SI5 center as the carbon antisite-vacancy pair in the negative charge state (CSiVC-) in 4H-SiC. We suggest that this defect is a strong carrier-compensating center in n-type or high-purity semi-insulating SiC.

TaruchaWe prepare a microwave electron spin resource (ESR) cavity for detecting a response from a 2DEG in an n-AlGaAs/GaAs. The response is obtained as a change in the longitudinal resistance (Δρxx) in v=3 quantum Hall region, particularly as a peak in Δρxx for resonance. We use the data of ESR to evaluate the g-factor and the lower bound for dephasing time. The resonance magnetic field suffers from nuclear spin effects via the hyperfine coupling, resulting in the ESR peak shift. We find the ESR peak shift or Overhauser shift decays with two time constants, suggesting the existence of two different origins for the relaxation. (Read more)

ChengAmorphous carbon layer EPR measurements have been fitted to a model which predicts the critical fluences at which the layer forms for any temperature and ion species; it predicts the layer will not form during nitrogen ion implantation in diamond above 1031°K. A new anisotropic EPR spectrum labeled D-A4 is observed after hot-implantation (650°C) with nitrogen ions. It is thought to be a spin-one-center arising from a small D-tensor interaction with <111> symmetry. Hot implantation suppresses the formation of the amorphous layer and enhances creation of crystalline lattice defects. (Read more)

Watkins.The 3d transition element ion impurities in silicon are reviewed for the broad insight they provide in understanding deep levels in semiconductors. As interstitials, their interaction with the host tends to confine the d-levels to the forbidden gap, providing many deep states. The interaction at the substitutional site is best considered as an interaction tends to repel deep a1 and t2 levels from the gap. When the levels are present, they are mostly vacancy-like and the defect is likely to display the large lattice relaxations characteristic of the vacancy. (Read more)

Watkins.Optical detection of magnetic resonance studies are described for the well-studied optical center with zero phonon line at 0.97 eV in irradiated silicon. Analysis of the S = 1 ODMR spin Hamiltonian reveals a low symmetry (C1h) center and a resolved 29Si hyperfine interaction with a single silicon atom. In a specially enriched 13C doped sample we find additional hf interactions with two equivalent carbon atoms. At elevated temperatures, the defect reorients easily from one C1h distortion to another around a common <111> axis; during this reorientation the spin density remains located on the same silicon atom and the same carbon pair. Froom these results we construct a model comprising two adjacent (substitutional) carbon atoms and an interstitial silicon atom which has distorted out from a bond-centered position We conclude that the same defect gives rise to the Si-G11 EPR spectrum when positively charged.

WeberThe velocity v of dislocation half-loops introduced into swirl-free floating-zone grown undoped silicon has been measured at 420°C in the resolved shear stress range 30 <τ<300 MPa. Clearly impurity atoms interact with dislocations in this material. Using the starting value of v we found the two types of 60° dislocations, which are distinguished by the sequence of their partials, to have different velocities. Furtheron the velocity depends not only on τ, but also on the elastic strain of the lattice. In the second part the papers review EPR spectroscopy of plastically deformed silicon and collects new results on the activity of dislocations in this material as trapping / recombination centers (decay of photo-EPR, photoluminescence, EBIC microscopy and photoplastic effect).

Namba.Experimental tests of non-thermal effect for pulsed laser annealing (PLA) of semiconductor have been done by means of two techniques. One is time-resolved reflectivity measurement during single 30-ps PLA of amorphous GaAs. An anomalous dynamic behavior is observed at an energy-density window, i.e, a reflectivity dip appears after the disappearance of the high reflectivity phase, concomitant with final production of a new amorphous GaAs state. This result cannot be interpreted in terms of the simple thermal effect. The other is EPR measurement of Si samples which are implanted and then annealed by 40-ns pulsed laser. No EPR results of N donors in Si support positively a non-thermal effect, while it is difficult to explain EPR results of laser-induced paramagnetic defects only by the simple thermal annealing model.

- 49. Lattice Defects in Semiconductors 23, 1-22 (1975) , Institute of Physics, London , “EPR Studies of the Lattice Vacancy and Low-Temperature Damage Processes in Silocon”, G. D. Watkins.EPR studies of silicon irradiated at 20.4 K and 4.2 K by 1.5 MeV and 46 MeV electrons are described. In 46 MeV irradiations the dominant defects formed appear to be divavancies and other multiple defect aggregates which liberate vacancies throughout the anneal to room temperature as they reorder, recombine, etc. For 1.5 MeV irradiations group III atoms play a vital role in p- and n-type materials in trapping interstitials and stabilizing damage. Carbon and oxygen are not effective interstitial traps at these temperatures. Evidence of limited vacancy migration during irradiation is also cited. Two distinct excited configurations of vacancy-oxygen pairs are identified as precursors to A-centre formation in n-type silicon. The kinetics for their conversion to A-centres depends strongly upon the Fermi level as does the isolated vacancy migration energy whhich is measured to be 0.18 ± 0.02 eV for the V= charge state. The vacancy has four charge states, V+, V0, V- and V=. Kinetics for hole release from V+ reveals an activation barrier of 0.057 eV. The concentration of V+ at 20.4 K in boron-doped material indicates the corresponding donor level even closer to the band edge, approximately EV + 0.039 eV. Jahn-Teller energies for V0, V+, and V- are estimated from stress-alignment studies and confirmed to be large. Kinetics studies for reorientation from one Jahn-Teller distortion to another are also described for each charge state.

Osipyan.We investigated the properties of the dislocation sEPR spectra in Si in the temperature interval from 1.3 to 150ºK. At helium temperatures we observed anomalies in the behavior of the dispersion signals χ' under conditions of adiabatic rapid passage (APR) through resonance. It is shown that the spectrum of the D centers has a hyperfine (hf) structure, with a line width ∆Hi ~0.2-0.3 Oe (the distance between neighboring hf lines is of the order of their width). It is established that under ARP conditions excitations are transferred between the hf lines as a result of spin-spin interactions with a characteristic time τ3, equal to 3-10 sec in the range 1.3-4.2ºK and weakly dependent on the temperature and on the microwave power. We measured the dependence of the integrated intensity of the absorption signals χ'' on the temperature in the 20-150ºK range. A strong deviation from the Curie low was observed at T=40-50ºK. The temperature dependence of the quantity τ1τ2 was measured in the same temperature range, under the assumption that the hf lines have a Lorentz shape. An anomaly at T=40-50ºK was observed also on the plot of τ1τ2=f(1/T). It is concluded that a magnetic phase transition takes place in the D-center system at 40-50ºK, and consequently the dislocations in Si can be regarded as models of one-demensional chain of spins with exchange interactions.

YuWe have observed the nagnetic resonance of conduction electrons in n-type indium antimonide, by the "heating" of the electron kinetic-energy temperature via the slsctron spins. This is the first direct evidence suggesting a contribution of spin-orbit coupling to relaxation in this system. In a steady-state spin-resonance experiment, a power PS=(M0=MZ)H/T1 is transferred to the systems(reservoirs) towards which the spins relax. Here, M0 is the equilibrium magnetization, MZ the component of the magnetization along the magnetic field H, and T1 the relaxation time. The reservoir of interest in our case is the kinetic energy of the eledtrons, and this is detected by an increase in the mobility μ. To our knowledge. this is the first observation of the power flow, due to relaxation, from the spins to a reservoir,applied to the ditection of magnetic resonance of conduction-electron spins. It differs in principle from usual spin-resonance observation methods, which are based on electromagnetic interactions of the spin system, such as the voltage induced in a resonator by the rotating magnetic moment, or again such as power absorption PS=MyHx from the rotating field Hx by the out-of- phase component My.Besides providing information on the relaxation mechanism, the present method (that we call "ralaxation" method) should also in some cases by much more sensitive than the usual "electromagnetic" detection methods.

With Landé's formula for the g factors of a 2T2 state split by spin-orbit interaction into Γ8 and Γ7 this nearness can be interpreted as strong quenching of the orbital moment.

- 82. Appl. Phys. A 53, 147 (1991) , “Iron-Aluminum Pairs in Silicon”, S. Greulich-Weber, A. Grger, J. M. Spaeth, H. Overhof.Iron-aluminum pairs in silicon are investigated with conventional and optically detected electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). For the trigonal and orthorhombic pairs known from previous EPR measurements we found for the first time optical absorption bands by measuring their magnetic circular dichroism of the absorption (MCDA). Direct experimental evidence is presented for the configurational bistability of both pairs by showing that the MCDA of the trigonal configuration can be transformed into that of the orthorhombic configuration by the combined effect of light and temperature. A new trigonal pair was discovered by conventional EPR having the same EPR intensity as the known one. Total energy calculations of various (Fei-Als) pair configurations show that two trigonal (Fei-Als)0 pairs with different Fei-Als separations have almost the same binding energy and should occur with the same probability. Fei + is always on a tetrahedral interstitial site, while Als - is nearest neighbor along <111> in one pair, second nearest neighbor in the other one with one silicon lattice site in between.

- 92. Phys. Rev. Lett. 17, 428 (1966) , “Direct Observation of Lithium-Defect Interaction in Silicon by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Measurements”, Bernard GoldsteinElectron paramagnetic resonance measurements have been used to observe directly the interaction of lithium with damage centers produced by electron irrsadiation in n-type, floatzone silicon. The silicon is characterized by low oxygen concentrations, with lithium as the predominant... (Read more)
- 93. Phys. Rev. Lett. 7, 240 (1961) , “Splitting of Electron Spin Resonance Lines by an Applied Electric Field”, G. W. Ludwig and H. H. WoodburyNuclei or paramagnetic irons in many solids occupy sites which lack inversion symmetry. Bloembergen has recently called attention to the possibility of observing shifts, proportional to the applied electric field ε, in the energy levels of such systems. Consistent with Bloembergen's ideas,Kushida... (Read more)

WatkinsTo date two defects produced in radiation damage of silicon hava been identified.These defects are a vacancy-oxygeon pair and a vacancy-phosphorous pair. They were identified largely by their associated electron spin resonance spectra and have been labeled the Si-A and Si-E...

- 95. Phys. Rev. Lett. 5, 309 (1960) , “Paramagnetic Resonance Absorption from Acceptors in Silicon”, G. Feher, J. C. Hensel, and E. A. GereIn the past,several attempts to observe the paramagnetic absorption from acceptors in silicon were unsuccessful.The reasons for this failure were pointed out by Kohn and are associated with the degeneracy of the valence band in silicon.We wish to report in this Letter the observation of the...

- 97. Phys. Rev. Lett. 5, 96 (1960) , “Vacancy Interactions in Silicon”, H. H. Woodbury and G. W. LudwigThe production and properties of vacancies in silicon are subjects upon which much empirical work has been done.For the most part the interpretation of the data in terms of detailed models has been inconclusive.Recently the interaction of radiation-induced defects(suggested to be vacancies)with...
