Abstract

We report the observation of a (Pt-Pt) pair in Si. The defect is paramagnetic, with a g tensor of

C_{2 v}

symmetry and principal values of g[110]=2.1869, g[1¯10]=1.5181, and g[001]=1.6317. The central hyperfine spectra show interaction with two equivalent Pt ions. This defect gives rise to an electrically active level at

E_{v}

+0.5 eV.
