Abstract

Abstract We report the observation of a metastable Staebler–Wronski effect in hydrogenated amorphous germanium (a-Ge:H) at room temperature. Both metastable and stable (irreversible) increases in the spin density were observed by electron spin resonance (ESR) after irradiation with 1.17 eV light. The inducing and annealing kinetics are compared to the well-studied behavior in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H).
