Popis: Electron paramagnetic resonance (X-band EPR) spectra are reported for lithium-related donors in monoisotopic silicon. High resolution EPR spectra of lithium donor centers in monoisotopic silicon, enriched by 28 Si isotope (99.99%) with very narrow individual lines are observed. In monoisotopic silicon sample ( 28 Si enriched floating zone silicon with low concentration of lithium ~10 16 cm −3 ), the trigonal EPR spectrum, with well resolved 7 Li hyperfine structure is recorded in the temperature range 3.5–20 K. This spectrum was attributed to LiO complex. At high concentration of lithium (about 10 18 cm −3 ) in monoisotopic silicon two types of spectra are observed. The trigonal one has the same feature as for low concentration of lithium with g -values: g ∥ =1.9974 and g ⊥ =1.9989. Another spectrum consists of two lines and has tetragonal symmetry with g ∥ =1.9992 and g ⊥ =1.9983. This spectrum is more intensive than the trigonal one and has no resolved hyperfine structure probably due to time averaging of the hyperfine interaction caused by hopping motion of electrons.
