Structure of the Intrinsic Shallow Electron Center in AgCl Studied by Pulsed Electron Nuclear Double Resonance Spectroscopy at 95 GHz

Abstract

In this Letter we report the first direct determination of the wave function of the intrinsic shallow electron center in silver chloride. A model is suggested in which an electron is shallowly trapped by two adjacent silver ions on a single cationic site. The information has been obtained by pulsed electron nuclear double resonance at 95 GHz and illustrates the potential of high-frequency EPR techniques for the study of defects in semiconductors.
