Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy (IR) techniques in the 1–50 μm wavelength region have been used to investigate the optical properties of neutron-induced lattice defects in high-purity float-zone (FZ)- refined Si containing ≤1016 interstitial oxygen (O-i) cm−3 and in high purity Czochralski (Cz)-grown Si containing 2.4 × 1018 O-i cm−3. The measurements were made following ≤100°C fast neutron (≥ 1 MeV) irradiations and after 20 min isochronal annealing at 50°C intervals from 150 to 900°C.1 All samples were irradiated in a reactor in- core position with a thermal-to-fast (≥1 MeV) neutron ratio of ∿ 5, so that the lattice damage introduced by thermal neutron absorption and (n, γ) recoils was negligible compared to that introduced by fast neutron collisions with Si atoms.2
Research sponsored by the Division of Materials Sciences, U.S. Department of Energy under contract W-7405-eng-26 with the Union Carbide Corporation.
Experiments performed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a guest scientist.
