Multilayered structures of a-Si/SiO 2 sequences were deposited using a magnetron sputtering system, where Si atoms are sputtered in an Ar-0 2 mixture. All samples have the same total thickness (250nm) and the thickness/layer is between 2 nm and 16 nm. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inhomogeneity of these films and its limit. The sample composition and thickness were investigated by conventional Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), high resolution RBS using a magnetic spectrograph and elastic recoil detection (ERD). The analysis of the conventional RBS and ERD spectra has revealed that samples with 16 nm/layer consists of a-Si/Si0 2 sequences. The high-resolution RBS measurements have also shown a multilayered structure for samples with a smaller layer thickness. The composition of the SiO 2 layers for samples with 4 and 2 nm/layer is more SiO,, like, with different values of the x parameter. It seems that the interface region is dominant for these samples with 4 nm/layer and less. The structural study is completed with the ESR measurements, which revealed two paramagnetic species attributed to a-Si dangling bonds and E' centers respectively. The latter are characteristic for SiO 2 material. We found that a-Si DBs are present in all samples, irrespective of the layers thickness. Their spin density amounts to about 10 20 cm 3. In contrast, the E' centers are not present in the sample with 2 nm/layer.

We investigate spin coherence time of electrons bound to phosphorus donors in silicon single crystals, employing a pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The samples were isotopically controlled so that they may possess different concentrations (about 5% and 100%) of 29Si, which is the only non-zero-spin (spin-1/2) stable isotope of Si. Both 29Siconcentration dependence and orientati...
متن کاملSpin resonance in a Luttinger liquid with spin-orbit interaction
Spin-orbit interaction in quantum wires leads to a spin resonance at low temperatures, even in the absence of an external dc magnetic field. We study the effect of electron-electron interaction on the resonance. This interaction is strong in quantum wires. We show that the electron-electron interaction changes the shape of the resonance curve and produces an additional cusp at the plasmon frequ...
