Abstract
Optical nuclear polarization technique is used to study metastable properties of the gold donor center in silicon. A model of a deep defect’s symmetry changing C 3V → C 1h → D 2d with its charge state (D− → D0 → D+) is proposed to account for the observed optically induced quenching and regeneration of Au0 centers.
