ABSTRACTIn the context of spectral-hole burning experiments in 4H- and 6H-SiC doped with vanadium the energy positions of the V4+/5+ level in both polytypes were determined in order to resolve discrepancies in literature. From these numbers the band offset of 6H/4H-SiC is calculated by using the Langer-Heinrich rule, and found to be of staggered type II. Furthermore the experiments show that thermally stable electronic traps exist in both polytypes at room temperature and considerably above, which may result in longtime transient shifts of electronic properties.

Oxide glasses are an integral part of the modern world, but their usefulness can be limited by their characteristic brittleness at room temperature. We show that amorphous aluminum oxide can permanently deform without fracture at room temperature and high strain rate by a viscous creep mechanism. These thin-films can reach flow stress at room temperature and can flow plastically up to a total elongation of 100%, provided that the material is dense and free of geometrical flaws. Our study demonstrates a much higher ductility for an amorphous oxide at low temperature than previous observations. This discovery may facilitate the realization of damage-tolerant glass materials that contribute in new ways, with the potential to improve the mechanical resistance and reliability of applications such as electronic devices and batteries.
