| Popis: | Information on the properties of the possible muonium states in II–VI semiconductor compounds is obtained in this study. In these materials, muonium may either form a shallow donor state, which is characterized by a small hyperfine interaction and a level-energy close to the conduction band, or an acceptor state, which corresponds to muonium at an interstitial site with a tightly bound electron and a hyperfine interaction close to that of free muonium. We show here that in CdS, CdSe and ZnO muonium preferentially forms a donor state whereas the acceptor state is preferred in ZnS and ZnSe. In CdTe both states are observed, indicating that the level energies are similar. |
