Popis: This paper reviews recent measurements of trap dominated hydrogen diffusion in disordered silicon. H transport can be described by a model with three levels: a transport level, shallow traps and deep traps. At low concentrations the diffusion is dominated by deep traps well separated in energy from shallow traps. At high H concentrations, the trap density ranges from 8 x 10 19 to 10 21 traps per cubic centimetre and increases roughly as the square root of the H concentration. Moreover, H diffusion depends on carrier concentration and doping levels as well as the H concentration. Muon spectroscopy should be able to provide previously inaccessible information about the transport levels, shallow traps and the effects of carriers on H motion in the shallow traps.
