We report an experimetal study by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) of E'-delta point defect induced by gamma ray irradiation in amorphous SiO2. We obtained an estimetion of the intensity of the 10 mT doublet characterizing the EPR…

We report a combined study by optical absorption (OA) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy on the E'-alpha point defect in amorphous silicon dioxide (a-SiO2). This defect has been studied in beta-ray irradiated and…

We report an experimental study by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of gamma ray irradiation induced point defects in oxygen deficient amorphous SiO2 materials. We have found that three intrinsic (E'gamma, E'delta and triplet) and one…

In the present Ph.D. Thesis we report an experimental investigation on the effects of gamma- and beta-ray irradiation and of subsequent thermal treatment on many types of a-SiO2 materials, differing in the production methods, OH- and…

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) linewidths of B acceptors in Si are found to reduce dramatically in isotopically purified 28Si single crystals. Moreover, extremely narrow substructures in the EPR spectra are visible corresponding…

High-frequency pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) were used to clarify the electronic structure of the color centers with an optically induced high-temperature spin-3/2 alignment in…

We have fabricated highly-luminescent samples with erbium-doped amorphous silicon sub-oxide (a-SiOx<Er>) layers on SiO2/Si substrates. The layers are designed to provide a resonance with large modal overlap with the active material and with…

High-precision measurements of the electron affinities (EA) of the three stable isotopes of silicon, $^{28}$Si, $^{29}$Si and $^{30}$Si, have been performed at the cryogenic electrostatic ion-beam storage ring DESIREE. The quantum states of…

In hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide (a-SiO:H) films, incorporation of oxygen enhances optical gap due to a large number of St-O-Si bond formation, which lies deep into valence band states. An induction effect of this Si-O on other bonds…

We present a computational study of the electronic properties of amorphous SiO2. The ionic configurations used are the ones generated by an earlier molecular dynamics simulations in which the system was cooled with different cooling rates…

Recently it was proposed that the orbital ordering of $\pi_{x,y}^*$ molecular orbitals in the superoxide CsO$_2$ compound leads to the formation of spin-1/2 chains below the structural phase transition occuring at $T_{\rm{s1}}=61$~K on…

The structural and electronic properties of amorphous silicon ($a$-Si) are investigated by first-principles calculations based on the density-functional theory (DFT), focusing on the intrinsic structural defects. By simulated melting and…

A computational study of the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) $g$-tensors and hyperfine tensors of Li and Ga vacancies in LiGaO$_2$ is presented. Density Functinal Theory (DFT) calculations are carried out of the Ga and Li vacancies…

We suggest that the commonly-accepted core structure of the 90-degree partial dislocation in Si may not be correct, and propose instead a period-doubled structure. We present LDA, tight-binding, and classical Keating-model calculations, all…

Methods for the creation of thin amorphous silicon dioxide (aSiO2) layers on crystalline silicon substrates with very high densities of silicon dangling bonds (so called E' centers) have been explored and volume densities of [E']> 5x10^18…

We present a resonant approach to enhance 1550nm emission efficiency of amorphous silicon sub-oxide doped with Er3+ (a-SiOx<Er>) layers with silicon nanoclusters (Si-NC). Two distinct techniques were combined to provide a structure that…

We present new atomistic models of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) surfaces. The a-Si model included 4096 atoms and was obtained using local orbital density functional theory. By analyzing a slab model…

Isolated oxygen impurities and fully oxidized structures of four stable two-dimensional (2D) SiS structures are investigated by {\em ab initio} density functional calculations. Binding energies of oxygen impurities for all the four 2D SiS…

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) models are analyzed for structural, electronic and vibrational characteristics. Several models of various sizes have been computationally fabricated for this analysis. It is shown that a recently developed…
