Abstract

Results from photoluminescence (PL) and Zeeman effect measurements of a PL center, labeled UD-1, in 6H SiC are presented. The spectrum consists of three no phonon-lines (NPLs) at 0.9952, 1.0015 and 1.0020 eV. The luminescence starts decreasing in intensity above 40 K and is completely quenched at 80 K. The observed Zeeman splitting reveals a spin one half of the ground state of the two highest energy lines. No splitting of the 0.9952 eV line is detected. The g-value for the 1.0015 eV and 1.0020 e lines are g = 1:4 and g = 1:7, respectively. For both lines, g = 0. The C3v symmetry indicates that the UD-1 center is either a substitutional defect or a complex with its constituents lying along the c-axis of the lattice.
