After intensive and long illumination of undoped a-Si:H samples the dark ESR signal is considerably enhanced. The g value of 2.0055 and the linewidth DHpp = 6–7 G leads to the conclusion that the light-induced defects are single dangling bonds. They disappear again by thermal anneal at about 220 °C.
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.
