Abstract
A new defect, labled as Si-PK1, has been observed with EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) in neutron irradiated FZ-Si grown in argon, hydrogen and vacuum. Its symmetry has been determined to be triclinic symmetry, the lowest possible symmetry. Si-PK1 has not been observed in CZ-Si. It is not related to any common impurities in Si, like oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and boron, and it should be an intrinsic defect. Combining with the empirical classification of g tensor, it is concluded that Si-PK1 may be a multi-vacancy cluster.
