Abstract

The dependence of the spin density upon temperature and charge depletion is calculated based on the standard defect model in a-Si:H of a D-center with positive, neutral, and negative charge states. The results are compared with recent measurements of depletion width modulated spin densities and temperature-dependent spin densities. It is shown that the initial charge density assumed for the defect system substantially affects conclusions regarding electronic correlation energies drawn from the measurements.
