The time differential perturbed angular correlation technique was applied to study the electric quadrupole coupling of 111Cd in the II-VI semiconductor CdS (20 K≤T≤1000 K). Two kinds of sample preparation were used: implantation and diffusion. Obtained results for the regular lattice sites were independent of the preparation. The measured electric field gradient (EFG) was between 6.7±0.4 MHz and 9.1±0.2 MHz. Data were confirmed by point-charge calculations. Implantation however caused a second EFG (≊78 MHz) that was assigned to a defect due to the preceding irradiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
