Abstract

Defects induced by irradiation with fast electrons and 60Co gamma-rays in oxygen-rich Ge crystals have been studied by means of infrared absorption, deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and Hall effect measurements. It is found that the vacancy-oxygen (V-O) complex in Ge has three charge states (doubly negative, singly negative and neutral ones) and two corresponding energy levels in the gap at about Ec - 0.21 eV and Ev + 0.27 eV. Three absorption bands at 621.4, 669.1 and 716.2 cm-1 are identified as oxygen-related asymmetrical stretching vibrations for the neutral, singly negatively charged and doubly negatively charged states of the V-O complex, respectively.
