The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

We report on a combined experimental and theoretical study of the metastable form of the vacancy-dioxygen defect in Si labeled VO2*. Important new experimental observations are the 2 detection of mixed local vibrational modes of VO*(2) in O-16, O-18 co-doped samples, the determination of the position of LVM bands for the negatively charged defect, and an assignment of an acceptor level at about E-c - 0.05 eV. Defect energetics, electrical levels and LVM frequencies of the VO*(2) complex are also investigated by ab-initio density-functional modeling. We find it to be a bistable defect which accounts well for the experimental data. The metastable form produces an acceptor state at similar to 0.05 eV below E-c, and can be thought of as a VO defect perturbed by interstitial oxygen.
