β¦ Synopsis
Isothermal internal friction measurements reveal a relaxation peak in the temperature range 360-470 K for vibration frequencies between 10 -~ and 10 Hz. The temperature range and the fact that the relaxation parameters are not sensitive to the structural state of the specimens indicate a point defect relaxation mechanism. Since the controlled defects in the bulk cannot explain the relatively high relaxation strength observed, we propose a mechanism based on stress-induced self-interstitial reorientation, this type of defect being the only one to be present in a sufficiently high concentration in our samples.

A review is given on recent progress made in a microscopic understanding of point defects in silicon carbide (Sic). Defect structures to be discussed include shallow nitrogen donors, group-III acceptors, the transition metal impurities vanadium and titanium and radiation induced defects, like the si
We studied the properties of irradiation-induced point defects and thermal equilibrium vacancies in Si by detecting hydrogen interacting with these point defects. First, we show the irradiation temperature dependence of the point defect concentration. We studied the optical absorption spectra of com
