The temperature dependence of electrical resistance, Hall coefficient, and thermoelectric power has been investigated in the temperature range from 10 K to room temperature. Undoped mixed crystals of the semiconducting compounds CdSb and ZnSb show p-type conduction in the whole temperature range. To get the n-type, samples of the composition Cd1-ϰZnϰSb with 0≦ϰ≦0,5 were doped with Se and Te. All Te-doped specimens show n-type conduction. In Se-doped samples n-conduction is achieved only for ϰ = 0 and ϰ = 0.1. Some of the doped samples change to p-type conduction at lower temperatures between 130 K and 210 k. In the region of the lowest measured temperatures a second sign change occurs to negative values again. A special treatment of the samples shows that this anomalous behavior is strongly affected by surface effects. By using a simple model for the structure of the samples these effects were explained.

Abstract We investigated the electrical and optoelectronic characteristics of ambipolar WSe2 field-effect transistors (FETs) via facile p-doping process during the thermal annealing in ambient. Through this annealing, the oxygen molecules were successfully doped into the WSe2 surface, which ensured higher p-type conductivity and the shift of the transfer curve to the positive gate voltage direction. Besides, considerably improved photoswitching response characteristics of ambipolar WSe2 FETs were achieved by the annealing in ambient. To explore the origin of the changes in electrical and optoelectronic properties, the analyses via X-ray photoelectron, Raman, and photoluminescence spectroscopies were performed. From these analyses, it turned out that WO3 layers formed by the annealing in ambient introduced p-doping to ambipolar WSe2 FETs, and disorders originated from the WO3/WSe2 interfaces acted as non-radiative recombination sites, leading to significantly improved photoswitching response time characteristics.

Strain-resistant properties of GaAs whiskers and ribbons of p- and n-type conductivity with various length (0.3–7 mm) and diameter (10–40 μm) have been investigated in a wide range of temperatures. Strain gages based on heavily doped p-type conductivity GaAs whiskers have linear deformation characteristics and a weak temperature dependence of strain sensitivity in the temperature range from –20 to +3500 °C. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TСR) of not fixed strain gages is about +(0.12–0.16)% × grad–1. The temperature coefficient of strain sensitivity is –0.03 % × deg–1 in the temperature range –120+800 °C. Strain gages based on n-type GaAs ribbons are characterized by high flexibility and high strain sensitivity. They are capable up to +4000 °C and can be used to measure deformations on curved surfaces at high temperatures. TСR of not fixed strain gages is –0.01 +0.03 % × grad–1. The temperature coefficient of strain sensitivity is –0.16% × deg–1 in the temperature range –120 ... +4000 °С.

AbstractThe electrical properties and photoluminescence features of uniformly Si-doped GaAs layers grown on GaAs substrates with the (100) and (111)A crystallographic orientations of the surface are studied. The samples are grown at the same As_4 pressure in the growth temperature range from 350 to 510°C. The samples grown on GaAs(100) substrates possess n -type conductivity in the entire growth temperature range, and the samples grown on GaAs(111)A substrates possess p -type conductivity in the growth temperature range from 430 to 510°C. The photoluminescence spectra of the samples exhibit an edge band and an impurity band. The edge photoluminescence band corresponds to the photoluminescence of degenerate GaAs with n - and p -type conductivity. The impurity photoluminescence band for samples on GaAs(100) substrates in the range 1.30–1.45 eV is attributed to V _As defects and Si_As– V _As defect complexes, whose concentration varies with sample growth temperature. Transformation of the impurity photoluminescence spectra of the samples on GaAs(111)A substrates is interpreted as being a result of changes in the V _As and V _Ga defect concentrations under variations in the growth temperature of the samples.

Copper oxide (CuxO) films are considered to be an attractive hole-transporting material (HTM) in the inverted planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells due to their unique optoelectronic properties, including intrinsic p-type conductivity, high mobility, low-thermal emittance, and energy band level matching with the perovskite (PS) material. In this study, the potential of reactive sputtered CuxO thin films with a thickness of around 100 nm has been extensively investigated as a promising HTM for effective and stable perovskite solar cells. The as-deposited and annealed films have been characterized by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Photoluminescence (PL), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and Hall-effect measurement techniques. The significant change in structural and optoelectronic properties has been observed as an impact of the thermal annealing process. The phase conversion from Cu2O to CuO, including grain size increment, was observed upon thermal annealing. The transmittance and optical bandgap were found to vary with the films’ crystallographic transformation. The predominant p-type conductivity and optimum annealing time for higher mobility have been confirmed from the Hall measurement. Films’ optoelectrical properties were implemented in the complete perovskite solar cell for numerical analysis. The simulation results show that a 40 min annealed CuxO film yields the highest efficiency of 22.56% with a maximum open-circuit voltage of 1.06 V.

We report on the p-type conductivity control using N and Te codoping and thermal annealing in the ZnO films, heteroepitaxially grown on Al2O3 substrates and homoepitaxially grown on ZnO substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy, respectively. The N and Te codoping and the homoepitaxy effectively reduce the background electron concentration in ZnO films due to the suppression of various defect generation, and the thermal annealing causes the conductivity conversion from n-type to p-type due to the activation of N-related defects and the annihilation of donor-type defects. The p-type conductivity with a hole concentration of 1.61016 cm-3 and a hole mobility of 16 cm2/Vsec is obtained in the ZnO:N+T film grown on the Al2O3 substrate and the p-type conductivity with a hole concentration of 4.01016 cm-3 and a hole mobility of 11 cm2/Vsec is obtained in the ZnO:N+Te film grown on the ZnO substrate.
