Abstract

We report an experimental investigation by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy on the hyperfine structure of the center in γ-ray irradiated amorphous silicon dioxide materials. This study has driven us to the determination of the intensity ratio between the hyperfine doublet and the main resonance line of this point defect. This ratio was obtained for a variety of silica samples and compared with the analogous ratio obtained for the defect. The comparison definitively confirms that the electronic wave function involved in the center is actually delocalized over four nearly equivalent Si atoms
