Abstract
<jats:p> Oxygen in single crystalline antimony triselenide (Sb<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Se<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>) is addressed by infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy. Measurements conducted on Sb<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Se<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> samples doped—during growth, post-growth annealing in the O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ambient, or by O ion implantation—with <jats:sup>16</jats:sup>O reveal an IR absorption line at 527 cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> (10 K). Substitution of <jats:sup>16</jats:sup>O by <jats:sup>18</jats:sup>O “red”-shifts the signal down to 500 cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> based on which the line is assigned to a local vibrational mode of an isolated oxygen defect. Annealing of O-enriched samples in hydrogen atmosphere at temperatures above 380 °C results in the suppression of the 527-cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> line and concurrent appearance of the signals due to hydroxyl groups, suggesting formation of oxygen-hydrogen complexes. The configuration of the 527-cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> oxygen center is discussed. </jats:p>
