Electrically detected magnetic resonance of a transition metal related recombination center in Si <i>p</i>–<i>n</i> diodes

Abstract

A hyperfine structure has been observed by electrically detected magnetic resonance from a Si p–n diode. From the hyperfine splitting, and the natural abundance of the interacting I=1/2 nuclear species, the recombination center is found to be consistent with a platinum complex.
