Secondary ion mass spectrometry was employed to investigate diffusion of 2H
implanted in hydrothermally grown single crystal ZnO. Diffusion profiles were
studied after 0.5h isochronal heat treatments at 100 to 400C and evaluated using
three different models: the infinite source model, a solid solubility limited model,
and a trap limited model. Only the latter one reproduces closely the measured
values. From this model an activation energy Ea = 0.85eV was extracted, and it was
speculated that trapping may be a source of the discrepancies between the reported
values of Ea in the literature.
