Germanium and silicon monocrystals with grown-in artificial medium-angle grain boundaries and isolated edge dislocations are subjected to a scanning electron beam (SEB) with simultaneous application of a bias field in a transverse direction. Amplification of the induced current signal yields oscillograms clearly revealing the polar character of defects and the junction behavior of a two-dimensional array of edge dislocations. These results can be explained on account of the dislocation model, as discussed earlier, and support studies and conclusions with respect to the influence of the space charge of edge dislocations on carrier transport in crystals.
Germanium and silicon monocrystals with controlled grown-in medium-angle grain boundaries and crystals with isolated dislocations are subjected to a scanning electron beam (SEB) with simultaneous application of a bias field in a transversal direction. Amplification of the induced current signals and oscillographic display reveals clearly the extended space charge of defects and the junction behavior of a two-dimensional array of edge dislocations with a radius of the space-charge pipe from a few microns to 25 microns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
