Gain-Layer Project

Niels G. Sorgenfrei, Anna Rita Altamura, Cristina Besleaga +18

Gain-layer degradation from exposure to radiation limits the use of Low-Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) in high energy particle physics detector experiments. Proper understanding of…

On the nature and charge state of the X-Defect, a radiation-induced Silicon defect with field-enhanced charge carrier emission

Niels Sorgenfrei, Yana Gurimskaya, Anja Himmerlich +4

The elusive X-Defect, a defect found in low-resistivity -type Silicon after irradiation, observed as a low-temperature shoulder of the $\mathrm{B}_\mathrm{i}\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{i…
