Abstract

After intensive and long illumination of undoped a-Si:H samples the dark ESR signal is considerably enhanced. The g value of 2.0055 and the linewidth DHpp = 6–7 G leads to the conclusion that the light-induced defects are single dangling bonds. They disappear again by thermal anneal at about 220 °C.
