Flexoelectricity and transport properties of phosphorene nanoribbons under mechanical bending

ABSTRACTMechanical bending of HTS tapes can result in the deterioration and destruction of their transport properties. Depending on the magnitude and type of strain (tensile or compressive), the films can be permanently damaged by fracture and recoverable only by post heat treatment, or simply elastically strained with recoverable transport properties upon release of the strain. Here we present results of strain effects on BSCCO (2212) /Ag tape transport properties and post heat treatment recovery of those properties.

GaAs layers grown by MBE at low temperatures (in the 200°C range, LT-GaAs) have been reported to have very interesting electronic and transport properties. Previous studies have shown that, before annealing, the crystalline quality of the layers is related to the growth temperature. Lowering the temperature or increasing the layer thickness generally results in some columnar polycrystalline growth. For the best “temperature-thickness” combinations, the layers may be very As rich (up to 1.25%) resulting in an up to 0.15% increase of the lattice parameter, consistent with the excess As. Only after annealing are the technologically important semi-insulating properties of these layers observed. When annealed in As atmosphere at about 600°C a decrease of the lattice parameter to the substrate value is observed. TEM studies show formation of precipitates which are supposed to be As related since the average As concentration remains almost unchanged upon annealing.
