The behavior of type-3d transition metal impurities was investigated by using deep-level transient spectroscopic and Hall-effect measurements. Electrically active components were attributed to interstitial species, and the deep-level transient spectroscopic data revealed double donors and an acceptor. The diffusivity of Ti, at temperatures ranging from 873 to 1423K, was described by:

D(cm2/s) = 1.2 x 10-1exp[-2.05(eV)/kT]
