ABSTRACTAll-trans-polyacetylene is considered the prototypical broad band gap quasi onedimensional organic semiconductor. Intrinsicsoliton defects have long been known to be important to the understanding of the observed properties of this system at low doping levels. Magnetic resonance techniques provide powerful experimental probes into the nature and environment of these neutral-radical defects. In an earlier work we showed that firstprinciples spin-polarized local density functional (LDF) methods reliably predict proton Fermi-contact coupling constants for planar, neutral, organic π-radicals. We have also used these methods to calculate the Fermi-contact proton coupling constants associated with the soliton defect in polyacetylene.Herein we compare the results of these earlier soliton calculations to results from recent electron-nuclear double-resonance (ENDOR) experiments. Our predicted ratio of the negative to positive spin densities is in good agreement with these ENDORstudies. The negative spin densities arise from spin-polarization effects which are found to cause the soliton level at midgap to be split by several tenths of an eV.

AbstractThe electronic structure of nitrogen donors in 6H-, 4H- and 3C-SiC is investigated by measuring the nitrogen hyperfine (hf) interactions with electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and the temperature dependence of the hf split electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. Superhyperfine (shf) interactions with many shells of 13C and 29Si were measured in 6H-SiC. The hf and shf interactions are discussed in the framework of effective mass theory. The temperature dependence is explained with the thermal occupation of the lowest valley-orbit split A1 and E states. It is proposed that the EPR spectra of P donors observed previously in neutron transmuted 6H-SiC at low temperature (<10K) and high temperature (>60K) are all due to substitutional P donors on the two quasi-cubic and hexagonal Si sites, whereby at low temperature the E state is occupied and at high temperature the A1 state. The low temperature spectra are thus thought not to be due to P-vacancy pair defects as proposed previously.
