Notes:
Using electron spin resonance (ESR), a new electrically active point defect in thermally grown SiO2 films on Si has been detected. The defect has a large capture cross section for electrons when it is paramagnetic and holes when it is diamagnetic (ESR inactive). The g-tensor values, symmetry, and microwave power saturation characteristics are all similar to those of the well-known E' family of amorphous SiO2 defect centers. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
