From 17th to 22nd March 2024, the Sektion Kondensierte Materie (SMK) of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e. V. (DPG) is organizing its spring conference with its specialist associations and working groups on the campus of the Technical University of Berlin.
As part of the Semiconductor Physics Association, the CiS Research Institute and its research partners will be presenting four papers on “Defect Mechanisms in Silicon with Different Doping” in the sessions “Functional Semiconductors for Renewable Energy Solution” I and II.
Dr. Kevin Lauer, scientist of the CiS Research Institute, will present the topic “Low temperature photoluminescence investigation of boron doped and quenched silicon” on Tuesday. Based on the investigations of indium-doped silicon and the application of quenching treatments, a peak influenced by LID treatments was also discovered in boron-doped silicon. His talk invites discussion on the relationship of this discovered peak to nearby known peaks.
In the poster session on Wednesday, the BSiSii defect will be presented. Aaron Flötotto, a young scientist from TU Ilmenau, will present the poster “Energy landscape around the BSiSii defect – a DFT Study”.
On Friday, two other young researchers from Ilmenau University of Technology will report on their work. They are the result of joint research supervised by Dr. Kevin Lauer as part of his work at Ilmenau University of Technology.
Katharina Peh will talk about the research project “Investigation of a LID defect energy barrier using a P-line appearing in indium-doped silicon PL spectra”. Robin Müller will then discuss the topic “Luminescence study of light induced degradation in thallium implanted silicon”.
The annual spring conferences of the German Physical Society (DPG) are among the largest physics congresses in Europe. The focus here is on promoting young scientists and knowledge transfer as well as exchanging ideas with scientists from different sections.
