Abstract

Three different Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) signals, one trigonal and two orthorhombic, which originates from iron-indium pairs in silicon are investigated. It is shown that the two orthorhombic spectra can be explained as transitions within the two doublets of a S=3/2 system with a large zero-field splitting. The temperature dependence of-the intensities reveals that the newly discovered spectrum corresponds to the lower doublet and that the zero-field splitting is 9.8 ± 2.0 cm-1.
