2. Introduction Electrical and optical properties of intrinsic defects in ZnO. How to enhance the p-type doping of ZnO? Fine structure in donor energy levels in ZnO. Transition metals in ZnO and their role for dilute magnetic semiconductors. Structure of DX centers in II-VI semiconductors limiting the n-type doping. Multi-atom impurity complexes in silicon. Original proposal: aims Initially awarded 23 shifts instead of requested 35, INTC desirous of more priority in the choice of isotopes. Benefitting from ISOLDE’s wide variety of beams and successfully sharing with other experiments. Last two years has concentrated mostly on PAC and optical measurements of ZnO (electrical technique was being upgraded).

4. Co-doping of ZnO using group III + group V elements

5. Proposed PAC experiments for 2012 Is co-doping limited to group III and group V donor acceptor pairs? Or do group I-VII pairs also behave similarly? Stable implantations of group I impurities such as Li and Na to be carried out prior to ISOLDE experiments, or through diffusion. Implantations with 77 Br/ 77 Se to verify if the co-doping is limited to the previous case.

9. Perturbation work carried out in Dublin: Stress : orientational information Zeeman: electronic structure

10. PL work for 2012: ISOLDE Do Si and Sn produce a signal? Does Cd? Carried out in conjunction with stable implantations.

11. Recent Developments: Installation of Laplace DLTS (J. Bollmann et al., Physica B 376-377 (2006) 97) “Classical” DLTS Well-established, but has difficulties resolving similar emission rates

12. Laplace DLTS Achieves higher resolution by minimizing emission rate (related to temperature instabilities during measurement). Needs a cryostat capable of holding very stable temperatures. Example of improvement in signal possible using L-DLTS 2012: aim to carry out most of the original experimental programme, using the new setup.

13. Multi-atom complexes in Si Quite a body of work now exists on identifying multi- atom impurities in Si. However, dynamics of formation still not well understood. Implantations of 191 Hg and 193 Hg/Au will allow detailed study of the temperature stability of these centres. PL + L-DLTS planned.
