Combined EPR and Photoluminescence Study of Electron and Proton Irradiated 3C-SiC

Abstract:

Combined Photoluminescence (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy have been used to characterize cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) samples after electron and proton irradiation. We have studied the effects of the thermal annealing (500-1000°C) on the PL intensity in the visible and the near infra-red (NIR) ranges and identified the point defects formation after these two processes of irradiation.
