AbstractDual implantations of Si+ and P+ into InP:Fe were performed both at 200°C and room temperature. Si+ ions were implanted by 150keV with doses ranging from 5×1013 /cm2 to 1×1015 /cm2, while P+ ions were implanted by 110keV. 160keV and 180keV with doses ranging from 1×l013 /cm2 to 1×1015 /cm2. Hall measurements and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the silicon nitride encapsulated annealed samples. It was found that enhanced activation can be obtained by Si+ and P+ dual implantations. The optimal condition for dual implantations is that the atomic distribution of implanted P overlaps that of implanted si with the same implant dose. For a dose of 5×l014 /cm2, the highest activation for dual implants is 70% while the activation for single implant is 40% after annealing at 750°C for 15 minutes. PL spectrum measurement was carried out at temperatures from 11K to 100K. A broad band at about 1.26eV was found in Si+ implanted samples, of which the intensity increased with increasing of the Si dose and decreased with increasing of the co-implant P+ dose. The temperature dependence of the broad band showed that it is a complex (Vp-Sip) related band. All these results indicate that silicon is an amphoteric species in InP.

In this work, avalanche photodiodes (APDs) were fabricated using a-plane 6H- and 4H-SiC materials to investigate their electrical and optical properties. Temperature dependence of avalanche breakdown was measured. The diode structures were fabricated with positive angle beveling and oxide passivation to ensure a uniform breakdown across the device area. Despite the apparent presence of micro-plasmas, we observed that the breakdown voltage of a-plane 6H-SiC APDs increased with temperature suggesting a positive temperature coefficient.

The present work describes the preparation and the investigation of the room temperature electrical and optical properties of a series of liquid nanocomposites (lnC) prepared with different concentrations of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a variety of liquid matrices: glycerin, Vaseline, glucose, propylene glycol and silicone oil (SIO). Special attention is deserved to the SIO matrix, owing to its convenient electrical properties for our purposes. We verified that a small percent fraction of MWCNT dispersed along the SIO matrix is capable of improving the electrical conductivity of the matrix by orders of magnitude, indicating that the MWCNT strongly participates in the electrical conduction mechanism. Also, the application of an external electric field to this lnC resulted in large changes in the optical transmittance, that were interpreted as a consequence of the fieldinduced MWCNT alignment into the liquid matrix. The characteristics of such a new category of nanocomposite in the liquid state suggest further studies.

Copper selenide thin films of three different thicknesses have been prepared by vacuum evaporation method on a glass substrate at room temperature. The optical properties of the films were investigated by UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Surface morphology was investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Copper selenide exhibits both direct and indirect transitions. The band gap for direct transition is found to be ~2.7 eV and that for indirect transition it is ~1.70 eV. Photoluminescence spectra of copper selenide thin films have also been analyzed, which show emission peaks at 530, 550, and 760 nm. The latter corresponds to indirect transition in investigated material.

ABSTRACTWe report on the effectiveness of proximity caps and PECVD Si3N4 caps during annealing of implanted ZnSe films. OMVPE ZnSe films were grown using diisopropylselenide (DIPSe) and diethylzinc (DEZn) precursors, then ion-implanted with 1 × 1014 cm−2 N (33 keV) or Ne (45 keV) at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature, and rapid thermal annealed at temperatures between 200°C and 850°C. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in the channeling orientation was used to investigate damage recovery, and photoluminescence spectroscopy was used to investigate crystal quality and the formation of point defects. Low temperature implants were found to have better luminescence properties than room temperature implants, and results show that annealing time and temperature may be more important than capping material in determining the optical properties. The effects of various caps, implant and annealing temperature are discussed in terms of their effect on the photoluminescence spectra.

AbstractDirect synthesis of lead iodide, a promising material for X-ray and γ detectors operating at room temperature, was developed and optimized. The influence of admixture of rare earth elements Ce, Ho, Gd, Yb, Er, and Tb in concentrations 0.05–0.5 at. % on the quality of prepared PbI2 was investigated. Zone melting was employed in order to increase the lead iodide purity. Electrical and optical properties of PbI2 samples were assessed on the basis of the measurement of electrical resistivity and low-temperature photoluminescence. The electrical resistivity of synthesized samples varied from 109 Ω cm to 1011 Ω cm and occasionally it was increased up to 1013 Ω cm.
