Copper-dihydrogen acceptors in high-purity germanium

OSTI ID:5281358
We show that a coupled dynamic system of two hydrogen nuclei and a hole can bind to the trivalent acceptor copper in germanium. The result is a monovalent acceptor whose symmetry and electronic structure depend on hydrogen isotopic mass. The acceptor A(CuH/sub 2/) has tetrahedral symmetry and a complicated ground-state multiplet. All heavier isotope combinations exhibit only one ground-state level of reduced symmetry. These isotope-induced differences are interpreted in terms of the mass-induced rotation-libration transition of a hindered rotor.
