Abstract

Magic-angle-spinning NMR spectra of aprotic solids, ceramics and glasses frequently suffer from poor site resolution due to wide chemical shift distribution effects. In such cases, cross-polarization and heteronuclear double-quantum filtering experiments involving nuclei other than 1H offer unique spectral editing capabilities. The utility of such assignment techniques for examining site populations in semiconductor alloys is demonstrated for the chalcopyrite systems CdGeAs 2− x P x , CdSiAs 2− x P x and Zn x Cd 1− x GeP 2. The results permit a distinction between local and non-local effects on experimental chemical shift trends and reveal that compositional dependences observed in these alloys are dominated by non-local chemical shift contributions.
