| Research Abstract |
Local structures in zinc oxide (ZnO) doped with In ions at various concentrations were investigated by means of the time-differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) method with the 111Cd(<-111In) probe. Indium-concentration dependence of the TDPAC spectra suggests that the local structures formed by In ions are sensitive to their population in the system. The results obtained by spectral analyses are the followings: In ions can substitute for Zn ions without generating any defects in their vicinity when doped with a trace amount; they locally form microscopic unique structures widely dispersed in ZnO at the In concentration of 0.05 at.% or higher, evidently indicating the solubility limit of In ions in ZnO; and In2O3-like compounds are formed in samples with further concentrated In as high as 10 at.%. We also successfully observed conduction electron scattering at the probe nuclei composing the unique structure, which is consistent with conductivity observed for bulk samples.
