From 16th-21st March 2025, the DPG Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section (SKM) will take place at the University of Regensburg. The DPG Spring Meetings are among the largest physics conferences in Europe. They offer young researchers a platform to present and discuss their ideas and work.
On Monday, 17th March 2025, Dr. Kevin Lauer from our CiS Research Institute will discuss the topic “Impact of a magnetic field on low-temperature photoluminescence of indium-doped silicon” at 5:15 pm. His contribution invites to a discussion about the glow of acceptor-interstitial silicon defects (ASi-Sii). First results on the influence of static and high-frequency magnetic fields on the glow are presented and the necessary measurement environments with their respective hurdles are described in detail.
Theoretical considerations on boron defects in silicon will be presented by young researcher Aaron Flötotto in his poster “Electronic structure and energy landscape of BSiSii-related defects” (HL 39.12.) in the poster session on Wednesday, 19th March 2025. The BSi-Sii defect, which is thought to be the source of light-induced degradation (LID) in solar cells and the phenomenon of acceptor disappearance in low-gain avalanche detectors (LGAD), can be discussed here.
Both presentations are also a result of the joint research activities with the Technical University of Ilmenau, which Dr. Kevin Lauer supervises as part of his work at this university.
The research and development work described was funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) in the research project “Low Gain Avalanche Detectors for 1keV Electrons” (eLGAD).
