Muonium as a model for interstitial hydrogen in the semiconducting and semimetallic elements

SFJ Cox - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Although the interstitial hydrogen atom would seem to be one of the simplest defect centres
in any lattice, its solid state chemistry is in fact unknown in many materials, not least amongst …

Hydrogen defect-level pinning in semiconductors: The muonium equivalent

RL Lichti, KH Chow, SFJ Cox - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We have determined locations for the donor and acceptor levels of muonium in six
semiconductor materials (Si, Ge, GaAs, GaP, ZnSe, and 6H-SiC) as a test of defect-level …

predictions of a wide range of properties of defects in semiconductors. In addition to …

Longitudinal Muon Spin Depolarization in Ge-Rich SiGe Alloys

PW Mengyan, YG Celebi, RL Lichti, BR Carroll… - Physics Procedia, 2012 - Elsevier
We report preliminary results of our most recent LF-μSR investigations of Mu site-and charge-
state transitions in the Czochralski-grown Si0. 09Ge0. 91 alloy. The experiments reported …

Evidence for a shallow muonium acceptor state in Ge-rich Cz-Si1-xGex

BR Carroll, RL Lichti, YG Celebi, KH Chow… - Physica B: Condensed …, 2009 - Elsevier
We have observed muon spin rotation (μSR) features that are consistent with a shallow
muonium (Mu) acceptor state for several Ge-rich silicon germanium alloy compositions. The …

μSR studies of grey and white tin, α-and β-Sn
