ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE INVESTIGATIONS OF CARBON-DOPED BETA-RHOMBOHEDRAL BORON

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements at 9 and 35 GHz on polycrystalline β rhombohedral boron with various carbon contents resulted in partly resolved absorption spectra. At 300 K the spin density ratio of two lines (called D and E) showed a linear increase with the carbon content. This ratio is temperature dependent. The lines D and E are photo-EPR active with different quantum efficiencies at various temperatures. © 1979.
