Popis: Samples of silicon doped with oxygen alone, or with oxygen and carbon have been irradiated with fast neutrons up to a maximum dose of 1020 cm-2. It is shown that there is a progressive decrease in the resolution of the fine structure of the 9 mu m band due to oxygen, and a corresponding increase in the width of the band at 12 mu m due to (O-V)0 centres. These measurements have also been made on samples containing group III and/or group V impurities; the degree of disorder in these samples is greater showing that there are important impurity effects. These results are compared with the structure of the 9 mu m band found in silicon after implantation with 400 keV oxygen ions.
