Lifetimes of hydrogen and deuterium related vibrational modes in silicon.

چکیده
Lifetimes of hydrogen and deuterium related stretch modes in Si are measured by high-resolution infrared absorption spectroscopy and transient bleaching spectroscopy. The lifetimes are found to be extremely dependent on the defect structure, ranging from 2 to 295 ps. Against conventional wisdom, we find that lifetimes of Si-D modes typically are longer than for the corresponding Si-H modes. The potential implications of the results on the physics of electronic device degradation are discussed.

Vibrational lifetimes and frequency-gap law of hydrogen bending modes in semiconductors.
Vibrational lifetimes of hydrogen and deuterium related bending modes in semiconductors are measured by transient bleaching spectroscopy and high-resolution infrared absorption spectroscopy. We find that the vibrational lifetimes follow a universal frequency-gap law; i.e., the decay time increases exponentially with increasing decay order, with values ranging from 1 ps for a one-phonon process ...
متن کاملStructure-dependent vibrational lifetimes of hydrogen in silicon.
The lifetimes of the Si-H vibrational stretch modes of the H(*)(2) ( 2062 cm(-1)) and HV.VH((110)) ( 2072.5 cm(-1)) defects in crystalline Si are measured directly by transient bleaching spectroscopy from 10 K to room temperature. The interstitial-type defect H(*)(2) has a lifetime of 4.2 ps at 10 K, whereas the lifetime of the vacancy-type complex HV.VH((110)) is 2 orders of magnitude longer, ...

متن کاملVibrational lifetime of bond-center hydrogen in crystalline silicon
The lifetime of the stretch mode of bond-center hydrogen in crystalline silicon is measured to be T1 = 7.8+/-0.2 ps with time-resolved, transient bleaching spectroscopy. The low-temperature spectral width of the absorption line due to the stretch mode converges towards its natural width for decreasing hydrogen concentration C(H), and nearly coincides with the natural width for C(H) approximatel...
متن کاملIsotope dependent, temperature regulated, energy repartitioning in a low-barrier, short-strong hydrogen bonded cluster.
We investigate and analyze the vibrational properties, including hydrogen/deuterium isotope effects, in a fundamental organic hydrogen bonded system using multiple experimental (infrared multiple photon dissociation and argon-tagged action spectroscopy) and computational techniques. We note a qualitative difference between the two experimental results discussed here and employ ab initio molecul...
