Abstract
The Cd-H complex in 111mCd-doped GaAs implanted with low-energy (150–400 eV) hydrogen atoms is identified and studied by perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy using radioactive 111mCd as a probe. By measuring the fraction of Cd-H pairs in an isochronal annealing experiment, the stability of the pairs is deduced yielding a dissociation energy of ED=1.35(10) eV. After 111mCd implantation but preceding the H loading, the GaAs samples have to be annealed at temperatures exceeding 900 K in order to form Cd-H pairs. These temperatures are in agreement with the temperature range required for electrical activation of Cd implants, suggesting that a Coulombic interaction is responsible for the formation of Cd-H pairs in GaAs.
