Two aluminum-related defect spectra in irradiated silicon, All with a no-phonon transition at 0.836 eV and A12 at 0.886 eV, are studied by photoluminescence measurements employing temperature control and perturbation spectroscopy with uniaxial stress and magnetic fields. All is a defect of rhombic I (C2, ) site symmetry, probably incorporating carbon in addition to aluminum. Its optical properties are very similar to those of the Gal and T defects (related to Ga and C or B and C, respectively), suggesting equivalent microscopic structure of the All, Gal, and T defects. For A12, monoclinic I (C») or trigonal (C3") symmetry is found in stress or Zeeman measurements, respectively, with annealing behavior and local modes similar to All.
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.
