AbstractThe role of hydrogen (H) in carbon (C)-doped GaAs was examined by co-doping of C and H atoms using low-energy hydrocarbon (CH+ and CH3+) ions. Experiments were carried out using the combined ion beam and molecular beam epitaxy (CIBMBE) system. Samples were characterized by low-temperature photoluminescence at 2K and Hall effect measurements at room temperature. Results show that incorporated C atoms are optically and electrically activated as acceptors even by hydrocarbon ion impingement. The effect of H incorporation was found to be noticeable when impinged current density of CH3+ ion beam is high that produces equivalent net hole carrier concentration greater than ∼1018 cm−3

ABSTRACTComputer simulations of III-V molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) show that surface reconstruction induced modulation of kinetic rates could give rise to ordering in alloys. Results are also presented for the possible influence of an external ion beam in achieving low temperature epitaxy as well as smoother growth front under usual conditions.

The passivation influence by ligands coverage with trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and TOPO including colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) on optical properties of the semiconductor heterostructure, namely an array of InP nanowires (NWs) with InAsP nanoinsertion grown by Au-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si (111) substrates, was investigated. A significant dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) dynamics of the InAsP insertions on the ligand type was shown, which was associated with the changes in the excitation translation channels in the heterostructure. This change was caused by a different interaction of the ligand shells with the surface of InP NWs, which led to the formation of different interfacial low-energy states at the NW-ligand boundary, such as surface-localized antibonding orbitals and hybridized states that were energetically close to the radiating state and participate in the transfer of excitation. It was shown that the quenching of excited states associated with the capture of excitation to interfacial low-energy traps was compensated by the increasing role of the “reverse transfer” mechanism. As a result, the effectiveness of TOPO-CdSe/ZnS QDs as a novel surface passivation coating was demonstrated.

ABSTRACTIon-beam sputtering (IBS) has been studied as a means for scalable, mask-less nanopatterning of surfaces. Patterning at the nanoscale has been achieved for numerous types of materials including: semiconductors, metals and insulators. Although much work has been focused on tailoring nanopatterning by systematic ion-beam parameter manipulation, limited work has addressed elucidating on the underlying mechanisms for self-organization of multi-component surfaces. In particular there has been little attention to correlate the surface chemistry variation during ion irradiation with the evolution of surface morphology and nanoscale self-organization. Moreover the role of surface impurities on patterning is not well known and characterization during the time-scale of modification remains challenging. This work summarizes an in-situ approach to characterize the evolution of surface chemistry during irradiation and its correlation to surface nanopatterning for a variety of multi-components surfaces. The work highlights the importance and role of surface impurities in nanopatterning of a surface during low-energy ion irradiation. In particular, it shows the importance of irradiation-driven mechanisms in GaSb(100) nanopatterning by low-energy ions and how the study of these systems can be impacted by oxide formation.

The electric and thermoelectric properties of novel, CdTe / PbTe layered nanocomposite material are investigated. The molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method was used for preparation of samples with well controlled distances (from 20 to 70 nm) between the layers of CdTe nanograins embedded in PbTe thermoelectric matrix as well as with number of these layers from 2 to 10. The Hall effect measurements performed in temperature range from 4–300 K revealed that carrier mobility is strongly affected by scattering on CdTe grain boundaries. The observation of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations confirms high quality of the samples and allows determination of effective mass of conducting electrons m* = 0.04m0. The measurements of the room temperature Seebeck coefficient together with electrical conductivity lead to the power factors which are comparable to those reported in PbTe / CdTe polycrystalline solid solutions.

AbstractA combined ion beam and molecular beam epitaxy (CIBMBE) method was applied for the deposition of a Ge1-xCx alloy on Si(100) using a low-energy ( 50 – 100 eV ) C+ ion beam and a Ge molecular beam. Metastable Ge1-xCx solid solutions were formed up to x = 0.047, and the CIBMBE method was shown to have a very high potential to grow metastable Ge1-x,Cx alloys. It was also revealed that the sticking coefficient of C+ ions into Ge was ∼28% for Ei, = 100 eV and ∼18% for Ei = 50 eV. Structural characterization suggests that the deposited films are single crystals grown epitaxially on the substrate with twins on {111} planes. Characterization of lattice dynamics using Raman spectroscopy suggested that the deposited layers have a small amount of ion irradiation damage.
