ABSTRACTThe effects of illumination upon the absorption electron spin resonance spectrum of the dangling bond defect system have been studied in undoped amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H). A small shift of the inhomogeneous envelope of the system towards higher g-value is observed at roomtemperature. The shift is not accompanied by a significant change in the signal. Results are reported which indicate that this shift is not due to illumination induced heating of the specimen or calibration changes of the spectrometer. The results may be related to previously reported optical bias effects upon transient photocurrent and photoinduced absorption studies.

ABSTRACTWe report a photoluminescence study on amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbon (a-Si1-xCx:H) alloys with carbon concentration in the range O < x < 0.5, prepared by PECVD in the “low-power” regime, that preserves the tetrahedral coordination of the carbon atoms. These samples have optical gaps higher than conventional “high power” alloys with the same carbon content. For carbon concentrations below x = 0.2 the photoluminescence behaves essentially as in pure a-Si:H with increased gap, Urbach energy and DOS. For higher carbon concentrations there is a change in the recombination process, that we attribute to a change in the dominating diffusion process of the photogenerated carriers. The integrated photoluminescence intensity for carbon-rich samples is very weakly dependent on the temperature, and at room temperature it approaches that of pure a-Si:H at 77K. For all samples, the photoluminescence bandwidth can be well described by a zero-phonon model.

AbstractDevice-grade, boron-doped amorphous hydrogenated silicon can be made microporous by anodization in ethanoic HF. The thickness of the porous layer is limited by an instability due to the high resistivity of the material. Amorphous porous silicon exhibits strong room-temperature photoluminescence around 1.5 eV even in samples containing a high density of non-radiative recombination centers. This demonstrates the presence of a spatial confinement effect, as opposed to quantum confinement effect for crystalline porous silicon. The temperature dependence of the luminescence intensity is also accounted for on the same grounds.

The ESR of Cu 2+ and Gd 3+ ion in Y 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 and Gd 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 has been studied at temperatures from 4 K to room temperature. Particular emphasis has been paid to the ESR linewidths (∆H PP ) and g-values of the ions. The ∆H PP and g-values for Y 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 were found to have anomalous increments near 15 K, close to the Néel temperature of Y 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5. Similarly, ∆H PP for Gd 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 had peaks near 12 K. Our analysis reveals that the ESR signal from Gd 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 is dominated by the Gd 3+ ESR. However, the magnetic ordering may be caused by both Gd-Gd and Gd-Cu interactions.
