Abstract

Results of new electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments on the thermal donors (NL8) in silicon are presented. Hyperfine interactions (hf) with 17O were observed. Two types of oxygen were found, of each type there are at least two oxygen atoms. The size and tensor orientations of their hf interactions are consistent with the presence of four oxygen atoms with approx. <111>-symmetry in the core of the thermal donors.
