ABSTRACTIn this paper, we discuss the characteristics of the InGaP/GaAs heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) before and after the electrical stress at room temperature and assess the effectiveness of the emitter-ledge passivation. Although an electrical stress given to the phototransistors by keeping a collector current density of 37 A/cm2 for 1 hour at room temperature was too small to affect the room-temperature common-emitter current gain and photocurrent of both HPTs with and without the emitter-ledge passivation, they showed a significant decrease at 420 K due to the room-temperature electrical stress. Nevertheless, the room-temperature common-emitter current gain and photocurrent of the HPT with the emitter-ledge passivation were still higher than those of the HPT without the emitter-ledge passivation. The effectiveness of the emitter-ledge passivation against the electrical stress was more significant than that on the current gain in the dark. In addition to the electrical stress experiment, for a potential application of the InGaP/GaAs HPTs in space, we will irradiate the HPTs with 1-MeV electrons at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Both current gain and photocurrent decreased significantly after the electron irradiation. In contrast to the electrical stress, the damage due to the high-energy electron irradiation is a bulk-related phenomenon, and the emitter-ledge passivation does not seem to suppress the degradation.

We present magnetic measurements on iron ( Fe ) nanoparticles in the size range 10–30 nm produced by the Inert Gas Condensation process (IGC). Structural characterization studies show the presence of a core/shell structure, where the core is bcc Fe while the surface layer is Fe -oxide. Analysis of the magnetic measurements shows that the nanoparticles display very large uniaxial anisotropy, K eff ≈3 - 4 × 106 erg/cc. The observed room temperature coercivities lie in the range ≈600 – 973 Oe , much larger than those expected from the Stoner–Wohlfarth model using the bulk iron anisotropy. It can be inferred from the coercivity variation with the particle size that there is a general trend of the coercivity increasing with size, culminating finally in a decrease for high sizes (30 nm) possibly due to the onset of non-coherent magnetization reversal processes.
