| The first direct proof for successful neutron transmutation doping (NTD) of GaP is presented on the basis of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR). GaP:S samples grown by the liquid encapsulated Czochralski method were irradiated with thermal neutrons and subsequently annealed at 800°C. In the ODMR experiments the transmuted Ge substitutional on Ga sites was detected. The NTD process was also found to create deep acceptors, the nature of which will be tentatively discussed. |
