Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Deuterium in Silicon

Abstract

We report nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of deuterons diffused into silicon powders. Deuterium spectra show a two-component lineshape corresponding to two distinct hydrogen sites. The component with a narrow Lorentzian lineshape is assigned to D2 molecules. The second component is a quadrupolar doublet powder pattern, and its characteristic splitting provides a value of the electric field gradient at the site of the deuterium atom of 1.45x105 dyn/cm.
