Annealing effect on nano-ZnO powder studied from positron lifetime and optical absorption spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, different thermal stages of generation and recovery of cationic as well as anionic defects in granular ZnO are discussed in the light of XRD, PAL, and optical absorption studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production and recovery of defects in phosphorus-implanted ZnO

TL;DR: In this paper, Positron annihilation measurements reveal the introduction of vacancy clusters after implantation, and these vacancy clusters grow to a larger size after annealing at a temperature of 600°C.

Thermal stability of isolated and complexed Ga vacancies in GaN bulk crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, positron annihilation spectroscopy was applied to show that 2-MeV electron irradiation at 300 K creates primary Ga vacancies in GaN with an introduction rate of 1.5 (2) eV.

Charged point defects in semiconductors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive account of semiconductor defect charging, identifying correspondences and contrasts between surfaces and the bulk as well as among semiconductor classes (group IV, groups III-V, and metal oxides).

Vacancy defects as compensating centers in Mg-doped GaN.

TL;DR: The observation of V(N)-Mg(Ga) complexes confirms that vacancy defects in either the N or Ga sublattice are abundant in GaN at any position of the Fermi level during growth, as predicted previously by theoretical calculations.
