Abstract

Proton and deuteron NMR in hydrogenated amorphous silicon yield quantitative measures of species-specific structural configurations and their dynamics. Populations of silicon-bonded and molecular hydrogens correlate with photovoltaic quality, doping, illumination/dark anneal sequences, and with infrared and other characterizations. High quality films contain substantial populations of nanovoid-trapped molecular hydrogen.
