Abstract

We report deuteron magnetic resonance (DMR) measurements on aged deuterium-implanted single crystal n-type silicon and comparisons with amorphous silicon spectra. The sample film was prepared six years ago by deuteration from a-D2 plasma and evaluated by a variety of experimental methods. Deuterium has been evolving with time and the present DMR signal shows a smaller deuteron population. A doublet from Si-D configurations along 〈111〉 has decreased more than have central molecular DMR components, which include 47 and 12 kHz FWHM gaussiane. Transient DMR magnetization recoveries indicate spin lattice relaxation to para-D2 relaxation centers.
