Abstract: A new boron-induced deeper acceptor level (D*-center) different from the D-center in nitrogen-boron co-doped 6H fluorescent silicon carbide (f-SiC) is revealed by measuring the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL). The D*-center is correlated to the dominate donor-acceptor-pair… read more here.
