Defect formation in yttria with a small content of acceptor impurities in equilibrium with a hydrogen-containing gas phase is studied theoretically. A statistical-thermodynamic description of the yttriagas equilibrium is based on the approach developed for compounds with a complex electronic structure [Phys. Stat. Sol. B (1991) Vol. 168, p. 233]. The considered model of electronic structure for Y2O3 includes, besides valence and conduction bands, acceptor and F-center states. The energy of F-centers was calculated in the framework of the variational quantum-mechanical approach combined with the molecular statics method. It is shown that acceptor states appreciably affect the thermodynamics of defect formation, while the F-centers contribution in a wide range of external parameters is small. The concentrations of defects (protons, oxygen vacancies, electronic defects) and the Fermi level position are determined as functions of temperature and gas phase parameters.

The influence of growth impurities (oxygen and carbon) on the thermalsdefect formation in silicon single crystals has been studied. Annealing was carried out in the temperature range 700-1100°C in steps of 50°C for 5 hours at each temperature. The magnetic, micromechanical and structural properties of annealed silicon single crystals have been experimentally studied. The distribution of defects formed at different annealing temperatures has been studied. The correlation between changes of magnetic susceptibility, microhardness and rearrangement of structural defects in crystals after their heat treatment is revealed. Concentrations and sizes of magnetically ordered clusters are estimated. Interpretation of the obtained experimental results is offered.
