摘要:

结合实验/理论研究辐照$β$ -Ga $_2$ O $_3$中的EPR。在高能质子或电子辐照后,观察到四个EPR谱,两个$S=1/2$和两个$S=1$。其中一个S=1/2光谱(EPR 1)可以在室温及以下观察到,其特征在于自旋汉密尔顿参数$g_b=2.0313$、$g_c=2.0079$、$g_{a*}=2.0025$以及与$^{69}$ Ga上$~\sim$ 14 G的两个等效Ga邻居的准各向同性超精细相互作用。第二个(EPR 2)是在低温下光激发(阈值为2.8 eV)后观察到的,其特征是$g_b=2.0064$,$g_c=2.0464$,$g_{a*}=2.0024$和与两个10 G的等价Ga邻居的准各向同性超精细相互作用。一个自旋$S=1$光谱与类似的g-张量和50\%减少超精细分裂伴随着这些,这是两个弱耦合$S=1/2$中心的缺陷的指示。进行各种各样的原生缺陷模型的磁共振指纹的DFT计算,以确定这些EPR中心在特定的缺陷配置。EPR 1中心被认为对应于两个四面体$V_\mathrm{Ga1}$与间隙Ga在它们之间的复合物。该模型先前被证明具有比简单四面体Ga空位更低的能量,并且具有比其他$V_\mathrm{Ga}$相关模型更高的$2-/3-$跃迁能级,这将解释为什么其他模型已经处于其抗磁性$3-$状态,并且因此如果费米能级被钉扎在该能级处则无法观察到。EPR 2光谱被认为对应于八面体$V_\mathrm{Ga2}$。基于自陷空穴和氧间隙原子的模型被排除,因为它们将与两个以上的Ga核发生超精细相互作用,并且因为它们无法支持相应的$S=1$中心。

英文摘要:

A combined experimental/theoretical study of the EPR in irradiated $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is presented. Four EPR spectra, two $S=1/2$ and two $S=1$, are observed after high-energy proton or electron irradiation. One of the S=1/2 spectra (EPR1) can be observed at room temperature and below and is characterized by the spin Hamiltonian parameters $g_b=2.0313$, $g_c=2.0079$, $g_{a*}=2.0025$ and a quasi isotropic hyperfine interaction with two equivalent Ga neighbors of $~\sim$14 G on $^{69}$Ga. The second (EPR2) is observed after photoexcitation (with threshold 2.8 eV) at low temperature and is characterized by $g_b=2.0064$, $g_c=2.0464$, $g_{a*}=2.0024$ and a quasi isotropic hyperfine interaction with two equivalent Ga neighbors of 10 G. A spin $S=1$ spectrum with a similar g-tensor and a 50\% reduced hyperfine splitting accompanies each of these, which is indicative of a defect of two weakly coupled $S=1/2$ centers. DFT calculations of the magnetic resonance fingerprint of a wide variety of native defect models are carried out to identify these EPR centers in terms of specific defect configurations. The EPR1 center is proposed to correspond to a complex of two tetrahedral $V_\mathrm{Ga1}$ with an interstitial Ga in between them. This model was previously shown to have lower energy than the simple tetrahedral Ga vacancy and has a $2-/3-$ transition level higher than other $V_\mathrm{Ga}$ related models, which would explain why the other ones are already in their diamagnetic $3-$ state and are thus not observed if the Fermi level is pinned approximately at this level. The EPR2 spectra are proposed to correspond to the octahedral $V_\mathrm{Ga2}$. Models based on self-trapped holes and oxygen interstitials are ruled out because they would have hyperfine interaction with more than two Ga nuclei and because they can not support a corresponding $S=1$ center.
