Abstract

The density of states at the grain boundary is found to be a complicated function of both the defect state property and the physical location of the defect at the boundary. A modified double-depletion-layer model concerning the nonuniform distribution of defects along the boundary is presented. A method is developed which can estimate the level location from the complex DLTS spectra.
