Donor complex with tunneling hydrogen in pure germanium

  • 1. Department of Physics and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720

Description

A shallow donor complex observed by several authors in ultrapure germanium grown in a hydrogen atmosphere is attributed to an oxygen-hydrogen system. Photoconductivity data under stress are presented. An abrupt transition in the spectra at a well-defined stress (2.1 x 108 dyn cm-2) is found. It is explained by a theory which involves dynamic tunneling of the hydrogen in the vicinity of an oxygen center. The comparison with other complex donors and acceptors supports the model
