Blount, E I

The energy levels found in germanium irradiated by different particles seem at first to be mutually inconsistent. It is possible tentatively to reconcile the differences by consideration of clustering and association of defects. Four levels are ascribed to single vacancies and interstitials. A crude theory is constructed to explain these levels, particularly their a symmetrical distribution in the energy gap, and to assign each to a definite defect. This theory differs somewhat from a previous one due to James and Lark- Horovitz; some differences in experimental predictions are discussed in particular. (auth)
