AbstractCarrier concentration and mobility were measured for intrinsic cubic InN and GaN, and for Si-doped cubic GaN as a function of temperature. Metallic n-type conductivity was found for the InN, while background p-type conductivity was observed for the intrinsic GaN layer. Doping the cubic GaN with Si two regimes were observed. For low Si-doping concentrations, the samples remain p-type. Increasing the Si-doping level, the background acceptors are compensated and the samples became highly degenerated n-type. From the carrier concentration dependence on temperature, the activation energy of the donor and acceptor levels was determined. Attempts were made to determine the scattering mechanisms responsible for the behavior of the mobility as a function of temperature.

In this study, the ZnTe thin films were deposited on a glass substrate at a thickness of 400nm using vacuum evaporation technique (2×10-5mbar) at RT. Electrical conductivity and Hall effect measurements have been investigated as a function of variation of the doping ratios (3,5,7%) of the Cu element on the thin ZnTe films. The temperature range of (25-200°C) is to record the electrical conductivity values. The results of the films have two types of transport mechanisms of free carriers with two values of activation energy (Ea1, Ea2), expect 3% Cu. The activation energy (Ea1) increased from 29meV to 157meV before and after doping (Cu at 5%) respectively. The results of Hall effect measurements of ZnTe , ZnTe:Cu films show that all films were (p-type), the carrier concentration (1.1×1020 m-3) , Hall mobility (0.464m2/V.s) for pure ZnTe film, increases the carrier concentration (6.3×1021m-3) Hall mobility (2m2/V.s) for doping (Cu at 3%) film, but  decreases by increasing Cu concentration.

AbstractWhen the stoichiometric TiN was deposited directly on GaN, we obtained columnar TiN grains of 5-20 nm section which cross the whole film thickness and are rotated mostly around the [111] axis. The conventional epitaxial relationship is obtained and no amorphous patches are observed at the interface. The deposition of TiN on Si doped GaN layers lead to the formation of an ohmic contact, whereas we obtain a rectifying contact on p type layers.

The electrical properties of pure NiO and NiO:Au Films which aredeposited on glass substrate with various dopant concentrations(1wt.%, 2wt%, 3wt.% and 4wt.%) at room temperature 450 Coannealing temperature will be presented. The results of the hall effectshowed that all the films were p-type. The Hall mobility decreaseswhile both carrier concentration and conductivity increases with theincreasing of annealing temperatures and doping percentage, Thus,indicating the behavior of semiconductor, and also the D.Cconductivity from which the activation energy decrease with thedoping concentration increase and transport mechanism of the chargecarriers can be estimated.

Single crystals of Bi2Se3 topological insulators have been prepared though melt-grown reaction. The sintering parameters of holding time and cooling rate obviously affect the phase structure and electrical properties. The samples with layered structure can be perpendicular cleaved with (0 0 L) axis. All the samples show n-type conductivity caused by the existence of Se vacancies. For low cooling rate, more Se atoms anti-occupy Bi lattice sites, which decreases c-axis lattice parameter and increases carrier concentration n; high cooling rate increases c and decreases n because of less Se atoms occupying Bi lattice sites. Increasing holding time firstly decreases the ratio of Se atoms occupying Bi lattice sites and then increases it, which gives rise to c firstly increase then decrease and n firstly decrease then increase.

ABSTRACTHall-effect measurements were conducted on Si-doped AlxGa1−xN films grown on sapphire substrate by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. The Al mole fraction in the 1 [.proportional]m thick AlxGa1−xN was 0.0, 0.3, and 0.5, and the Si doping concentration was kept at a nominal value of 1018 cm−3. Variable temperature Hall-effect measurements reveal a presence of a highly degenerate n-type region at the AlxGa1−xN /sapphire interface. This degenerate interfacial layer dominates the electrical properties below 30 K and significantly affects the properties of the AlxGa1−xN layer. Thus, by using a two-layer conducting model, the carrier concentration and mobility of the AlxGa1−xN layer alone are obtained.
