Abstract

For the first time the acceptor state of iron-boron pairs the occurence of which are suggested by electrical measurements and theoretical considerations is directly proved by EPR measurements. The corresponding EPR spectrum is observed upon suitable illumination of samples which have been co-doped with boron and iron. It shows trigonal symmetry, and the fine-structure pattern can be described with the spin S = l, the g-values gi ∼ 2.1345±0.0001, gi = 2.1345±0.0004 and the zero-field splitting parameter |D| = (1.418±0.001) cm−1.
