Item Open Access Continuous high resolution phonon spectroscopy up to 12meV : measurement of the A+ binding energies in silicon(1986) Burger, Wilfried; Lassmann, KurtWe have measured the binding energies of Ga+, Al+, and In+ centers in silicon with energy-resolved phonon-induced electrical conductivity. For Ga+ and Al+ we obtain the value of about 2 meV as earlier found for B+, whereas the binding energy of In+ is 6 meV. Spectral structures attributed to impurity interactions found for higher concentrations of In at energies up to about 12 meV demonstrate that acoustic phonons up to this energy are transmitted from the tunnel junction to the substrate.Item Open Access Influence of defects on the splitting of the acceptor ground state in silicon(1984) Ambrosy, Anton; Lassmann, Kurt; Goer, Anne M. de; Salce, Bernard; Zeile, Heinrich-Item Open Access The influence of the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect on the phonon-scattering mechanism at acceptors in semiconductors with cubic symmetry(1982) Sigmund, Ernst; Lassmann, KurtPhonon scattering experiments of various types in cubic semiconductors doped with deep effective mass acceptors indicate an extra resonance scattering at some meV. It is shown, using Green's function and transformation techniques that these resonances are due to a dynamic Jahn-Teller effect of the 8 acceptor ground state.Item Open Access The distribution of splittings (Ultrasonic investigation of the acceptor ground state of Si(B) ; 2)(1982) Zeile, Heinrich; Lassmann, KurtThe splitting distribution of the acceptor ground state of Si(B) is determined from the frequency dependence of the ultrasonic resonance attenuation and from acoustic paramagnetic resonance. In the purest crystals a residual distribution is found of unknown origin. In crystals containing carbon or oxygen at concentrations above about 10 22 m-3 the distribution is broadened in rough accordance with statistical estimates.Item Open Access Investigation of the Kapitza anomaly by frequency resolved phonon transport in silicon wafers(1987) Klar, Wolfgang; Lassmann, KurtThe threshold at 85 GHz for anomalously large transmission of phonons into LHe has been investigated with Si-wafers for various surface treatments and coverages by phonon spectroscopy. With this multiple boundary scattering geometry we observe an increased sensitivity to spectral features. Connected with the threshold there is a phase shift of the signal compatible with a loss of the slower diffuse portion of the phonon signal to the covering liquid helium. This phase shift depends nonlinearly on modulation frequency between 5 kHz and 200 kHz (modulation of the generator to sort out the monochromatic phonons) and in a characteristic manner on the surface treatment. The finite phase shift at 5 kHz is indicative of very long lived 85 GHz phonons up into the 100 µs is range inspite of the multiple Si-LHe-interface scattering involved. Minor differences in polishing quality show up clearly in the phase shift at low modulation frequencies.Item Open Access The longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates of the strain-split two-level system (Ultrasonic investigation of the acceptor ground state of Si(B) ; 1)(1982) Zeile, Heinrich; Harten, Ulrich; Lassmann, KurtThe spin-lattice relaxation of the two-level system of the strain-split acceptor ground state of Si(B) is determined from the temperature dependence of the ultrasonic relaxation attenuation, around 10 K. It is found that Raman relaxation alone does not fit the results but that, in addition, an Arrhenius-type of relaxation, possibly due to a Jahn-Teller effect, is involved. The transverse relaxation is obtained from intensity-dependent and hole-burning measurements of the resonant attenuation. At small acceptor concentrations it is determined by spin-lattice relaxation alone; for higher concentrations an additional temperature-independent interaction term is found much smaller than expected for elastic dipole or exchange interaction.Item Open Access A study of the ground state of acceptors in silicon from thermal transport experiments(1981) Goer, Anne M. de; Locatelli, Marcel; Lassmann, KurtThermal conductivity measurements of silicon crystals doped with Bor In have shown the presence of several phonon scattering processes. The resonant effect observed below 1 K is ascribed to the existence of a distribution of splittings N(δ) of the Γ8 ground state of the acceptor, which could be related to the presence of oxygen and carbon impurities. In two cases, the maximum of N(δ) occurs for δ max near 6 GHz, in agreement with previous ultrasonic studies.Item Open Access Down-conversion of high-frequency acoustic phonons(1987) Galkina, Tatjana I.; Blinov, A. Y.; Bonch-Osmolovskii, M. M.; Koblinger, Otto; Lassmann, Kurt; Eisenmenger, WolfgangMeasurements of phonon transport in amorphous media can give valuable information on the structural properties of these materials and may be of practical interest for its own concerning the question of thermalization in electronic devices. The existence of two-level systems in a-Si:H as one of these technically important materials has been concluded from measurements of dispersion and attenuation of acoustic surface waves.Item Open Access Linear stark coupling to the ground state of effective mass acceptors(1989) Köpf, Andreas; Ambrosy, Anton; Lassmann, KurtIt is shown by dielectric resonance absorption at 24 GHz and by ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy between 5 and 10 GHz that linear coupling of the electric field to the ground state of effective mass acceptors in Si exists and has a distinct chemical shift from B to In.Item Open Access Ultrasonic spectroscopy of the acceptor ground state in cubic semiconductors(1980) Lassmann, Kurt; Zeile, HeinrichIn the following we will discuss ultrasonic measurements on p-type semiconductors reflecting spontaneous and defect sensitive modifications of the acceptor ground state.
