Abstract:

Two additional spectrometers for time-differential perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy (TDPAC) have been commissioned in Canberra complementing existing infrastructure. The efficacy of these spectrometers has been demonstrated with measurements on the indium oxide host lattice with the probe 111In/Cd and on zinc and germanium host lattices with the 100Pd/Rh probe. Results agree with expectations. The ratio functions measured for germanium following annealing at 300°C and 500°C suggest in analogy with published results for silicon that 100Pd may tend to pair with a vacancy defect in germanium.
