摘要
Transition metal (TM) defects grown-in by the FZ technique have been investigated by DFTS for all elements with valence 9 less than or equal to N less than or equal to 11. The energy levels and their chemical shift are in fair agreement with the theoretical predictions for substitutional defects. The concentration of the electrically active defects for Cu, Ni - in contrast to that for Au, Pt - is up to three orders in magnitude lower than the total incorporated metal concentration. The influence of cooling rate and dislocation density will be discussed.
