Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR) of electrically active centers in n-type epitaxial diamond films has been measured by electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). In the regime of hopping conductivity, 31P-related centers could be separated from a large number of P1 nitrogen centers in the substrate crystal and from carbon dangling bond defects close to the electrical contacts. One of these centers is characterized by g = 2.0026, g| = 2.0042, Aiso = 17.6 G, and Aaniso = 1.8 G, which is incompatible with the predictions for hydrogenic donor states of phosphorus on substitutional sites. These predictions are better fulfilled by a second spurious center with approximately g = 2.006, Aiso = 380 G, and Aaniso = 15 G.
