ABSTRACTP doping of gallium nitride by incorporation of magnesium in the layers was controlled recently. Only Popovici et al. [1] have published the results of a Raman study on p type GaN. In the present communication, we report on the interaction of the free hole gas with the axial A1(LO) or planar E1(LO) phonon modes, evidenced by Raman scattering: the observed coupled phononplasmon mode is found very different from the corresponding one evidenced in silicon doped (n type) GaN. We compare the experimental data with the lineshape calculated within a dielectric model, using the results of electrical measurements. These results are also compared with infrared reflectivity spectra.

We have investigated the infrared reflectivity, UV-visible spectra and electrical property of polycrystalline RFeO3 (R = La, Nd, Gd, Dy, Er) synthesized by sol–gel method. Analysis of IR reflectivity spectra through Lorentz oscillator model has led to the observation of 14 IR active phonon modes out of 25 predicted modes. The results have been discussed in terms of different phonon bands related to the origin of atomic vibrations, which provides information about the structural evolution. The energy bandgap [Formula: see text]1.67–1.90 eV estimated from optical conductivity ([Formula: see text]([Formula: see text])) spectrum is found consistent both with that calculated from UV-visible spectra and estimated from electrical measurements.

AbstractThe temperature effect on the Raman scattering efficiency is investigated in $$\varepsilon$$ ε -GaSe and $$\gamma$$ γ -InSe crystals. We found that varying the temperature over a broad range from 5 to 350 K permits to achieve both the resonant conditions and the antiresonance behaviour in Raman scattering of the studied materials. The resonant conditions of Raman scattering are observed at about 270 K under the 1.96 eV excitation for GaSe due to the energy proximity of the optical band gap. In the case of InSe, the resonant Raman spectra are apparent at about 50 and 270 K under correspondingly the 2.41 eV and 2.54 eV excitations as a result of the energy proximity of the so-called B transition. Interestingly, the observed resonances for both materials are followed by an antiresonance behaviour noticeable at higher temperatures than the detected resonances. The significant variations of phonon-modes intensities can be explained in terms of electron-phonon coupling and quantum interference of contributions from different points of the Brillouin zone.

An analytical model describing the conductivity of ZnO nanofibers depending on the grains size is proposed. The research is based on the thermal dc electrical measurements of a single electrospun ZnO nanofiber calcined at different temperatures. In the our previous research, we showed that electrical conduction of ZnO nanofibers is mainly thermally activated. The activation energy of conductivity was strongly dependent on the grain size, which in turn depended on the calcination temperature. This could be due to migration of a point defect in the grain of ZnO and could change the carrier concentration. Our recent studies have shown that ZnO nanofibers behavior is consistent with the Meyer–Neldel rule. This indicates an exponential energy distribution of deep level traps in the material. Based on the theoretical assumptions and experimental data, the improved model of conductivity in a single ZnO nanofiber calcined at different temperatures was proposed.

The optical reflectivity spectra were measured for single crystalline La2CuO4 and La1.8Sr0.2CuO4 over a wide energy range from 12meV to 3eV. Comparing the phonon spectrum of single crystal with that of polycrystal, the observed four phonon modes can be classified into the two—the vibrations parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis. The infrared spectrum of La1.8Sr0.2CuO4 shows the normal Drude-type behavior without any extra excitation.

The scattering intensity (SI) for an electron resonant Raman scattering (ERRS) process in a free-standing semiconductor quantum wire of cylindrical geometry associated with bulk longitudinal optical (LO) phonon modes or the surface optical (SO) phonon modes is calculated for T=0 K . The Fröhlich interaction is considered to illustrate the theory for a GaAs system. Electron states are confined within a free-standing quantum wire (FSW). Single parabolic conduction and valence bands are assumed. The selection rules are studied. Numerical results and a discussion are also presented for various radii of the cylindrical quantum wires.

We report both infrared transmission and Raman scattering results on the new superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system. Because of its layered structure along c axis, some very thin and transparent slices have been got. In the infrared spectrum there is an absorption band around 500cm−1 with a width of about 300cm−1, and a vibrational mode at 840cm−1, higher frequency than those of phonon modes in Y-Ba-Cu-O system, has also been observed. The Raman scattering spectrum shows similar results, but the scattering signals are very weak because of the strong absorption in visible of this system.

AbstractAn enduring problem in the engineering of high-power semiconductor devices is how to mitigate the effect of heating. Heating means the proliferation of phonons, and phonons, interacting with electrons directly affect the electronic performance of the device. Nowhere is this more evident than the role of hot polar-optical phonons in reducing the drift velocity in the channel of an HFET and hence reducing its performance at high frequencies. The task of describing hot-phonon effects is complicated by the coupling to plasma modes. We present a theory of coupled plasmon-phonon modes in GaN, how they interact with electrons and how their lifetime becomes density-dependent. Raman scattering in bulk material shows a reduction of lifetime with increasing density and we offer an explanation for this in terms of the frequency dependence of the anharmonic decay mechanism. Hot-phonon effects, however, involve modes with wave-vectors beyond those probed by Raman scattering. By adopting a single-pole approximation for these modes we have obtained the lifetime dependence on wave vector, electron temperature and density.
