Pm. Williams et al., ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC-RESONANCE OF A AU-AU PAIR IN HEAT-TREATED SILICON, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 53(19), 1996, pp. 12570-12573
Two previously unreported electron paramagnetic resonance centers of C
-2v symmetry, labeled SiLAu1 and Si-LAu2, are observed in p-type gold-
doped silicon after a heat treatment at 1250 degrees C. For on of them
, Si-LAu2, complex resolved hyperfine structure reveals the presence o
f two equivalent Au atoms in the complex. No hyperfine structure is re
solved for SiLAu1 and the direct involvement of Au in it has not been
established.
